What I'm trying to do: • Determine if a specific contact is following the linkedin page of a competitor (or various) and is not following ours • I've tried Claygent and various detailed prompt but wasn't able to get an answer. has anyone tried this and if so what's the best way to go at it?

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a built-in data point to directly determine if a contact is following a specific LinkedIn company page. However, we do offer a data point called "Contact # LinkedIn Followers" which shows how many followers a contact has on LinkedIn. To approach your goal, you might consider these steps: 1. Use the "Contact # LinkedIn Followers" data point for your contacts. 2. Compare this with your company's and competitors' LinkedIn follower counts. 3. Analyze the data to identify potential patterns or correlations. This method won't provide a definitive answer, but it could offer insights into your contacts' LinkedIn engagement. Would you like more information about other LinkedIn-related data points we offer or alternative approaches to gather this kind of information?

We don't currently offer built-in functionality to determine if a specific contact is following a particular LinkedIn company page. Our data points related to LinkedIn are limited to "Company LinkedIn Followers" and "Contact # LinkedIn Followers", which provide general follower counts. While we can't directly assist with using external tools like Scrapeli or Scrapefollowers, these might indeed be options for gathering more specific LinkedIn follower data. However, please note that using such tools may violate LinkedIn's terms of service. Have you considered alternative approaches within Clay to gather insights about your contacts' engagement with your company and competitors on LinkedIn?

you can also scrape using your own sales nav account but that's risky plus requires you to add the target company in your experience section so that you can find its followers
