Automate LinkedIn Lead Collection

This n8n workflow automates the process of finding and collecting LinkedIn profiles based on specific keywords and locations. It's designed for businesses and marketers seeking to build targeted lead lists efficiently without the need for costly manual research or complex setups.

Key Features

• Conducts targeted Google searches for LinkedIn profiles using SerpAPI to avoid rate limits and IP blocking.
• Extracts essential profile data including names, LinkedIn URLs, and descriptive snippets.
• Leverages OpenAI to enrich data by identifying company names and converting text-based follower counts into numerical values (e.g., "3.3k+" → 3300).
• Filters out irrelevant search metadata, ensuring clean and focused lead data.
• Outputs structured lead data to a downloadable Excel file and optionally integrates with NocoDB for persistent storage and further analysis.

How It Works

The workflow is initiated manually, allowing users to define search parameters like keywords, location, and the number of results. It then uses SerpAPI to perform targeted Google searches specifically for LinkedIn profiles (e.g., site:linkedin.com/in). The raw search results are processed to extract individual LinkedIn profile links and associated details. OpenAI then enriches this data by identifying the company name from the profile title or snippet and converting textual follower counts (e.g., '3.3k+') into usable numerical values. Finally, the refined data is merged and delivered as a downloadable Excel file and concurrently stored in a NocoDB database, providing a structured and actionable lead list.
