Frequently Asked Questions

What are sources and destinations for automations?

Sources and destinations are any web page or web app on the internet. For example, you may want to move info from LinkedIn (source) to Google Sheets (destination), or ZoomInfo (source) to Salesforce (destination).

If it exists online, you can use Magical to move the information.

Will Magical remember my automation?

Yes, Magical will remember your automations once you complete them.

For example, if you move info from LinkedIn to a specific Google Sheet, Magical will remember how to populate info to that Google sheet from LinkedIn every time.

However, if you create a new Google sheet, you may want to setup the transfer once again.

Do I need to have the website or web app open every time I am transferring data?

Not anymore, if you have already done the automation once before, you no longer need to have that other page open.

Can I autofill data from multiple sources to a single destination?

Yes. You can hit // to fill fields from multiple sources into your destination. You will need

to "fill all" fields individually.

On the other hand, you can also move information from multiple similar tabs (for example - 3 LinkedIn profiles) to a sheet.

Will Magical continuously update data for me from my open tab?

No. You will need to open the source page, open the Magical panel, and trigger the automation from the panel.
