How does this automation work?
Bardeen's playbook offers a seamless workflow that enriches and updates Salesforce leads with additional data sourced from LinkedIn, using the lead's email address. For businesses looking to leverage the power of Salesforce's CRM capabilities, this automation provides a competitive edge by ensuring your leads' records are rich with the latest professional information. It's an efficient way to maintain up-to-date profiles, which can be crucial for successful sales prospecting and data sourcing research.
Here's how this workflow updates a Salesforce lead with new information:
- Step 1: Retrieve Salesforce lead - Bardeen begins by locating a specific Salesforce lead using the name you provide. Salesforce is the CRM platform where your customer and lead data is managed.
- Step 2: Extract email address - The workflow then converts the located lead's name into an email address format for further use.
- Step 3: Enrich with Clearbit - Using the email obtained, Bardeen enriches the lead's data with social media profiles through Clearbit's data API.
- Step 4: Scrape LinkedIn profile - The LinkedIn profile is identified using a custom Scraper template and the data is collected in the background.
- Step 5: Process LinkedIn data - The scraped LinkedIn data is processed to isolate specific information that will be used to update the Salesforce record.
- Steps 6-9: Additional processing - Further data processing steps are carried out to refine the information before updating the Salesforce lead.
