How does this automation work?
Bardeen's playbook for extracting company headcount from LinkedIn profiles and saving it to Coda is designed to efficiently gather valuable business intelligence.

- Step 2: Merge LinkedIn company link - The scraper’s output is concatenated with the company's LinkedIn page link to prepare for the next scraping action.
- Step 3: Scrape company headcount - Using the prepared link, Bardeen scrapes company headcount from the about page of the LinkedIn company profile.
- Step 4: Extract the headcount number - The scraped data containing the headcount is then split to isolate the exact number of employees.
- Step 5: Select headcount data - This step retrieves the specific piece of data, which is the headcount, from the array created in the previous step.
- Step 6: Add data to Coda - Finally, Bardeen adds the LinkedIn profile name, company link, and extracted headcount number to a specified Coda table, completing the workflow.

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Coda.
