“Find recent posts” = useless? 😠 Does anyone else find the “Find recent posts” enrichment useless? It almost never returns anything, even for people that post regularly. See for example the screenshot attached. I used the enrichment with profiles that post a lot and have quite many followers. But Clay does not find anything most of the time. Check for example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reuvencohen/ (33k, followers, posts regulary) https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritzheininger/ (14k followers, I post at least 3 times per week) Here is the table I used: https://app.clay.com/shared-table/share_5Rrzv7kScpHJ Am I doing something wrong? 🤔

    It can miss but it also refunds if no results are found. So what I do is set it as the first step, and then set up a Claygent to go to the LinkedIn profile, pull the recent post URL and the content of that most recent most - but put a conditional where this Claygent will only run if the “Find Recent Posts” comes up empty

    I tried this as well and found this buggy as well. My prompt was for the last three posts, but it seems to just pull random things. I always test on my LinkedIN profile to check if the output makes sense. Attached is my prompt. What prompt do you use to make sure you actually get a real post from a person’s profile?
