Automation is a powerful feature that makes Spidra not just a scraping platform, but an automation engine. Spidra lets you automatically send your scraped data to other platforms — like Slack, Discord, Telegram, or Email without writing a line of code. You can create an automation from any preset and define when and where the data should be delivered.
