  • Step 3: Clean LinkedIn URL - Extracts a clean version of the LinkedIn company page URL from the scraped data for future reference.
  • Step 4: Merge LinkedIn Data - Combines the cleaned URL with additional company information for a comprehensive data set.
  • Step 5: Scrape Additional Data in Background - Runs background scraping for extra LinkedIn pages linked within the company data, using the provided template.

How to run the playbook

LinkedIn is an amazing tool for finding exciting jobs, networking, and building your personal brand. The only challenge is that it takes a lot of time to copy and paste all the information into a database.

That’s precisely where this automation comes to play. It will copy information from a LinkedIn company profile directly to an Airtable database with one click. Saving you from the time-consuming copy-paste dance.

This playbook is helpful if you are prospecting leads for your company, want to be prepared for your job interview, or are creating a database of companies you are interested in.

Please be aware that the excessive or abusive use of extensions, bots, or automation tools on some websites can lead to penalties, including temporary or even permanent restrictions on your account. We recommend you read and adhere to the specific terms of the websites you are visiting and using to avoid any disruptions or issues. We do not assume any responsibility for the consequences of abuse.

Step 1: Set up an Airtable base for companies

Create the Airtable base with all the fields you want to capture. You can also duplicate our template that we created just for this use case. 

Step 2: Pin the automation and integrate Airtable

Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation.

‍You will be asked to integrate Airtable. 

Step 3: Run the playbook to scrape LinkedIn company data to Airtable

Now, navigate to a LinkedIn company page. 

Launch Bardeen, and click on the playbook card. 

The first time you run the automation, you will get a prompt to map the information to your Airtable base.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Airtable. You can Edit Inputs later by covering over the playbook. 

Navigate to another company's about page, click "Run playbook" and watch the magic happen! That’s it! One click to scrape LinkedIn company data to Google Sheets.

Bardeen’s scraper tool will get information like the company name, the number of employees, description, LinkedIn profile link, and much more.
