How does this automation work?
Bardeen offers a seamless integration that automates the process of sourcing company information from LinkedIn profiles and sharing it on Slack. This playbook is designed for sales prospecting and data sourcing, enabling you to quickly inform your team about a prospect's current company size without leaving Slack. It's an efficient way to bring valuable insights into your sales conversations and strategies.
Here's how this workflow sends a LinkedIn profile's current company headcount to Slack:
- Step 1: Extract LinkedIn company data: Scraper is used to extract data from the LinkedIn profile page provided. The scraper runs in the background, ensuring your workflow is not interrupted.
- Step 2: Prepare company profile link: The company profile link is constructed by merging the scraped LinkedIn company data with the predefined text format.
- Step 3: Scrape company headcount: The scraper extracts the company's headcount information from the LinkedIn company about page using the company profile link generated in the previous step.
- Step 4: Split headcount data: The headcount information is then split into an array to isolate the exact number of employees.
- Step 5: Select headcount number: The specific item in the array containing the headcount number is selected to be included in the Slack message.
- Step 6: Send Slack message: Finally, a message is composed and sent to the specified Slack channel or user. This message includes the custom message, name, and link to the company profile along with the headcount.
