Step 1: Create a Coda table

The first step is to create a Coda table with the LinkedIn mutual connection information you would like to save.

‍

‍

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened LinkedIn account’s mutual connection link and save information like name, headline, location, connection degree, and profile link.

‍

Step 2: Install the extension and map the data to Coda

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.

‍

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

‍

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. 

‍

You will be asked to specify a Coda table and the maximum number of connections you would like to save. After you choose the database and maximum number of LinkedIn mutual connections, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Coda.

‍

‍

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Coda 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 Coda. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

‍

Step 3: Run the playbook to save mutual connections from LinkedIn profile to Coda

Whenever you want to save mutual connections from LinkedIn to your Coda table, navigate to the profile you would like to get mutual connections from.

‍

 Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. It will open the mutual connection link in the background.

‍

‍

It will then get all the mutual connections from that page and save the information to your Coda table.

‍

‍
