Extract Emails from Website HTML with n8n Workflow

Extract email addresses from website HTML in seconds with an n8n workflow

Need a fast way to find contact emails in bulk? This n8n automation workflow scrapes a website’s HTML and extracts email addresses based on what’s found around the site’s content—so you can build an email scraping API without relying on expensive third-party tools.

What this workflow does

• Starts from a Webhook URL you copy into your browser.
• Accepts a target site via a query parameter: add ?Website=https://example.com to the webhook URL.
• Fetches the website HTML using an HTTP request.
• Extracts email addresses by running an extraction logic “based on the date around on the website” (as implemented in the workflow).
• Returns results to your browser once the workflow completes.
  • If an email is found, the extracted email address is displayed.
  • If there is no email, the response is: "workflow successfully executed."

Use cases

• Turn a list of competitor or partner domains into lead contact emails using a custom email scraping API.
• Support content marketing or sales outreach by collecting emails at scale.
• For SaaS operators and automation engineers: validate HTML parsing/extraction logic with a simple webhook-driven flow.

Technical details

• Nodes used: webhook, http request, if, set, split out, and supporting sticky note blocks.
• Input method: Website query parameter (e.g., ?Website=https://mailsafi.com).
• Important: use HTTP:// for your domains to avoid errors.
