Briefing

Crawlbase: Crawlbase published a guide explaining how to split web retrieval from Zapier's execution window by dispatching async crawls with a callback and catching the finished page in a second Zap.

Why it matters

Zapier's finite execution window makes direct web scraping unreliable. By offloading the crawl to an async service with a callback, developers can build robust, event-driven extraction workflows without leaving the no-code automation ecosystem. This pattern is especially useful for teams that need to integrate scraping into broader business processes without custom infrastructure.

Watch next

Will other scraping vendors add native Zapier integrations that handle async callbacks out of the box?
