How It Works
The workflow begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to define your target audience using the 'Set Variables' node where you specify keywords, company size, and LinkedIn location IDs. The 'Search Companies' node then queries the Ghost Genius API to find relevant LinkedIn profiles, processing results in batches to manage API limits. For each potential lead, the 'Get Company Info' node retrieves detailed data, which is then filtered by the 'Filter Valid Companies' node based on criteria like website presence and follower count. Finally, before adding to your Airtable CRM, the 'Check If Company Exists' node prevents duplicates. New, qualified companies are then added to Airtable by the 'Add Company to CRM' node, populating various fields with enriched data and predefined categories.
