Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Google Sheets and LinkedIn

First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Sheets.

Step 2: Copy Google Sheets template

Before setting up the playbook, you need to do some Google Sheets prep work.

You database must have at least these four fields/columns:

  • Name
  • Profile Headline
  • Profile Link
  • Comments

I had to add a script that performs some data cleanup. The reason being that Linkedin's code for the first commenters is different from the one of the subsequent ones.

For this reason the name and url of the commenters form the second "page" onwards need to be cleaned.

You'll just have to click on the "Clean Names" button to let the script do its magic. (You'll have to autorize it first. Don't worry about the menacing message, the script is just cleaning the data in the sheet)

clean names google sheets

Feel free to add as many other fields/columns as you like but only after column D.

Here's the template you can copy:

Step 3: Set up the playbook

Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. 

You will be asked to specify a Google Sheets spreadsheet or to create one from scratch. 

The most critical step is mapping the data of the LinkedIn post to the right field.

The logic is identical to another automation I've done, you can watch this video at the minute 3:50 to see how to do it.

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened LinkedIn post and get comment information like name, profile link, profile image, comment, time commented, and connection degree. It will then save all this information to your Google Sheets spreadsheet, once the setup is complete.

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Google Sheets. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 4: Run the playbook to copy LinkedIn post commenters to Google Sheets
