The "Find Recent Posts" action relies on public web scraping to get post data, which means it may not work in certain situations: 1. If the person hasn't been active recently 2. If they have a private account 3. If their content hasn't been publicly scraped recentlyAs alternatives, you can: ** Use services like Apify or Phantombuster and integrate them with Clay (note: use cautiously as these services use your LinkedIn account and could risk being blocked) ** Try using Claygent, our built-in AI research tool with web access (best results with advanced AI models like Argon or OpenAI's GPT 4o)

https://app.clay.com/workspaces/465412/tables/t_ygXkGUEi6aam/views/gv_Ffpjwk6H56SS I've seen support posts from as far back as November 2024 on this. This feature is critical to my use-case. Is the best workaround still Apify?

The feature shows "No Posts Found" with or without a date filter. The prospects have recent LinkedIn posts.

Hey! Let me explain what's happening with those posts. The data we get comes from public web scraping - we don't connect directly to LinkedIn accounts. So if someone hasn't been active or their content hasn't been publicly scraped recently, we might miss some posts. A couple options if you need more complete data: 1. You could try Apify or Phantombuster (heads up though - since these use your LinkedIn account, there's a risk of getting blocked) 2. Lots of users are having good results using Claygent with GPT4 3. RapidAPI has a few LI APIs that are also able pull Linkedin Posts such as this one. Let me know if you want to explore any of these options! I can help point you in the right direction
