🛠️ Tips and Best Practices

• Start small with WhatsApp Phone Number Scraper. Keep the default of 5 numbers per keyword for a test run, then raise Max Phone Numbers.
• Match mode and type. Pair WhatsApp mode with mobile numbers, and call or booking mode with landlines.
• Thin results? Add related keywords, switch to Any number, or raise the page depth and idle-page limits for WhatsApp.
• Profile filters expect whatsapp.com/name addresses. Leave Profile pages only off when pages use longer addresses.
• Follower filters need a visible count. Results without one are skipped while a follower filter is on.
• Schedule WhatsApp Phone Number Scraper. Turn on Skip phone numbers found in earlier runs to receive only new leads.
• Large runs. Raise the run timeout in Run options. The default is 3,600 seconds.
• Review before outreach. Snippets can be cut off, so check numbers and respect local rules.
