How does this automation work?
Bardeen's workflow automation for LinkedIn to Google Sheets is a powerful tool for professionals engaged in data sourcing, recruiting, or sales prospecting. This playbook facilitates the collection of profile data from LinkedIn searches, eliminating the need for manual data entry. By automatically saving valuable contact information into a Google Sheets spreadsheet, businesses can create a streamlined process for lead generation and recruitment efforts.
Here's how this workflow captures LinkedIn profile information and transfers it to Google Sheets:
- Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn Search Results - The Scraper is initiated to collect data from a LinkedIn search results page. You can specify the number of profiles to extract, ensuring you receive just the right amount of data.
- Step 2: Extract Individual Profiles - The Scraper operates in the background to individually visit each LinkedIn profile from the search results and gather detailed information.
- Step 3: Save to Google Sheets - The data scraped from LinkedIn profiles is then neatly added to your specified Google Sheets document for easy access and organization.
