### Overview
This video walks you through how you can setup a Scenario in Make.com and a Skill in Ask Steve that enables you to select leads on any web page and have them parsed and written into the correct columns in a Google Sheet. 

In the past you'd have to copy the name, role and company of every lead you found into your Sheet by hand. Now you can highlight one or more leads in any format on any web page and Ask Steve to save it to your Sheet. It will call the Make.com scenario which will send the leads to OpenAI to turn whatever you sent it into structured data (name, role, company, etc.) and then write the leads into Google Sheets, saving you a ton of time. It will even add a LinkedIn search link so that you can get to the lead's profile quickly, and record the URL where you found the lead. 

Using this setup as a baseline, you can easily customize it for other use cases, and connect it to other software systems (Salesforce, Airtable, etc.)   

You can use the concepts demonstrated here to connect Ask Steve to any API. Learn more about how to call Webhooks and APIs [here](/docs/webhooks).

### Call Any API from Ask Steve

Right now Ask Steve calls an LLM in the background with your prompt and returns the result. But really it's just calling an API which happens to be an LLM. With a few small new features in the 1.0.9 version of Ask Steve, We've made it easy to call **ANY API**.

So now rather than triggering a single LLM call from the current page or selection, you can do... anything! Pre-process the input, augment it with external information, log it, etc. Then process the input with code, external services, one or more LLMs, or some combination. And finally post-process the result before returning it to the user in the Ask Steve UI. 

To demo this, I created a simple workflow using [n8n.io](https://n8n.io/) - a really powerful low/no-code workflow automation builder - and connected it to an Ask Steve Skill. This workflow takes the selected text, parses it, puts it into a Google Sheet and returns a confirmation.

You can do this with your own code running on a server somewhere, or with any visual workflow builder like [n8n](https://n8n.io/), [Gumloop](https://www.gumloop.com/), [Activepieces](https://www.activepieces.com/), [Make](https://www.make.com/), [Zapier](https://zapier.com/) etc. that supports Webhooks.
