How does this automation work?
Bardeen's Playbook allows you to effortlessly transfer mutual connections from LinkedIn directly into a Google Sheets spreadsheet, enabling you to build a robust network for sales prospecting or personal productivity. Without the hassle of manual entry, you can capture valuable connections and organize them efficiently, saving time and streamlining your networking efforts.
Here's how this workflow simplifies saving LinkedIn connections to Google Sheets:
- Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn Profile - The scraper is configured to extract data from the active tab, focusing specifically on the LinkedIn profile you are viewing. This step gathers the initial set of details required for finding mutual connections.
- Step 2: Scrape Mutual Connections - This command operates in the background to scrape the mutual connections from the LinkedIn profile data obtained in the previous step. It uses a specialized scraper template tailored for LinkedIn people searches.
- Step 3: Save to Google Sheets - The extracted mutual connection data is then added to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. You will be prompted to specify which Google Sheet to use, allowing seamless integration and organization of your LinkedIn network.
