Thinking outside the box, brainstorming ideas

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 297

Hi All, 

 

I have an excel with a few thousand contractors names and their company website, however the data i have for "services they provide" isn't reliable. Without sending a few thousand emails and asking them to complete a form that i can use as my dataset, is there any other way to obtain this info? i was thinking some sort of webscraping, but i imagine site to site the layout will be different. Is there any outside the box ideas anyone has to obtain this info?

    Hi @jsmith87 ,

     

    PowerApps can't do something like 'extract information from a web page'. If you want to collect information from these contractors, the recommended way is to use Microsoft From to create a questionnaire and send it to your users for them to fill out. If you want something like ‘automatic access to web content‘, I suggest you consult a professional Web developer.

     

    Best Regards,

    Bof
