The Extractor, your competitors' contacts
The Extractor goes through your competitors' Instagram followers and finds the professional contact details they have made public (phone, email), so you can contact them directly, without going through a DM.
In detail
How it works in practice
Targeting by competitor account: you indicate the competitor's Instagram account whose audience you want to analyze, and The Extractor goes through its public follower list
Only returns contact details that the user has publicly displayed on their profile (professional email and phone entered in the bio or contact info), and no private or non-consented data is collected
Works only on public competitor accounts: a private account cannot be analyzed, since its follower list is not accessible
Extracted contacts can be exported for use in your external prospecting tools (emailing, CRM, calls)
Works with Le Radar: extracted contacts can be fed into it to be scored and prioritized before being approached
Extraction is organized in batches tied to a source competitor account, to keep track of where each contact came from and avoid mixing several audiences
Complements Le Périscope (competitor activity monitoring): Le Périscope watches what the competitor does, and The Extractor lets you go straight to its audience
Included in Propulse support: a dedicated support agent continuously supervises the use of your account, on top of the platform's AI targeting

Agencies
Quickly build a list of qualified prospects from the audience already captured by competitor accounts in the same niche, rather than starting from scratch for each client.

Frequently asked questions about The Extractor, your competitors' contacts
Yes, as long as the account is public: The Extractor analyzes the publicly visible follower list. A private account cannot be targeted, which is consistent with Propulse's "publicly available data" approach across all its features.
The Extractor returns the information that users themselves have made public on their profile (bio, website, displayed professional contact details). Reliability therefore depends on what each follower chose to publish. Propulse neither invents nor completes this data from another source.
Extraction is done one competitor account at a time, which keeps lists separate and lets you know precisely which competitor audience each contact comes from, useful for prioritizing in Le Radar afterwards.
They can be exported and fed into your prospecting tools (emailing, calls, sequences), or they naturally end up in Le Radar to be scored and prioritized before being contacted.
