Hello! Been playing around with the Automate LinkedIn connection request messages referencing past posts template. I keep getting an error in the "Find Recent Post" column. It comes back saying "No post found" when I know there are recent posts by an account. Is this because LinkedIn now "paywalls" profiles - you have to be logged in to view someones full profile? Is there any way around this? I think this template could be super helpful.
You're correct about the LinkedIn visibility issue. Our data providers don't use your session cookies or aren't logged in as you, so they can't access posts that require login to view. This is why you're seeing "No post found" even when posts exist. Workarounds: 1. Try reloading those rows later - providers sometimes return more complete results on retry 2. Use PhantomBuster or Apify connected in Clay - these run searches using your own LinkedIn session for better accuracy 3. Try Claygent with advanced AI models like Argon or GPT-4o Note: Using your LinkedIn session (option 2) carries risk of being blocked by LinkedIn, so use judiciously.
