LinkedIn Profile Discovery Automation

This workflow is designed for professionals and organizations that need to efficiently gather LinkedIn profile URLs based on a list of names. It is particularly useful for:

• Recruiters looking to build candidate profiles.
• Sales teams seeking to connect with potential clients.
• Marketing professionals conducting market research.
• HR departments managing employee records.
• Data analysts compiling social media presence for analysis.

This workflow automates the tedious process of searching for LinkedIn profiles based on names provided in a Google Sheet. Instead of manually searching each name, it:

• Saves time by automating Google searches.
• Reduces the risk of human error in data entry.
• Provides a structured way to collect and update LinkedIn URLs directly in Google Sheets.

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks 'Test workflow'.
2. Fetch Person Info: It retrieves the list of names from a specified Google Sheet.
3. Search Profile: For each name, it performs a Google search to find the LinkedIn profile URL. This step may take a few minutes depending on the number of names.
4. Parse Response: The workflow processes the search results to extract the LinkedIn URL, if found.
5. Update Row: Finally, it updates the Google Sheet with the retrieved LinkedIn URL, ensuring that the data is current and accurate.
