Descrizione

Problem It would be nice to have a script that finds potential customers for us 😛

Solution Write a script that crawls the web and looks for websites with the Intercom/Drift/Crisp widget embedded. (Usually if you inspect element, you can figure out what to look for.)

Maybe to start, this script should just take a list of urls and output whether or not a chat widget is currently embedded on the page.

Testing Not sure if we'll want the script to live in this repo, but to test we should verify that the output matches reality 😉

Questions, or need help getting started? Feel free to ask below, or ping us on Slack :)

Direzione di ricerca
Look into common patterns for embedding Intercom, Drift, and Crisp widgets by inspecting HTML elements or script tags. Consider using a headless browser or simple HTTP requests with a parser like BeautifulSoup. The script should accept a list of URLs and output whether each site has a chat widget.
