    No, that's not correct. We have a feature that allows access to users' recent LinkedIn posts. Our "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" function can retrieve recent posts from a LinkedIn profile or company page. You can input a LinkedIn URL, add optional keywords to search for in the posts, and even filter posts by date. The function returns an array of posts and the total number of posts found.

    You can find the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" function in Clay as an action or enrichment column. This feature allows you to retrieve recent posts from LinkedIn profiles or company pages. To use it: 1. Look for the "Social Posts" features in Clay. 2. You can use it as an import source or as an action/enrichment column. 3. Input a LinkedIn URL (e.g., 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/username'). 4. Optionally, add keywords to search for in posts. 5. You can also filter posts by date if needed. This function will return an array of posts and the total number of posts found, helping you access recent LinkedIn content efficiently.

    Hey, That’s correct—agents can’t access a user’s recent LinkedIn posts because they don’t have access to session cookies, which are required to view that kind of data. Let me know if you’re exploring other ways to pull in social content—I’d be happy to help!

    Could I provide my personal session cookie to do that?

    Hey, You can’t provide your session cookie directly to Clay, but if you want to use it, there are tools like Apify and PhantomBuster that can connect inside Clay. This way, you can use your session cookie and pull in the LinkedIn content you need. Let me know if you want help setting that up!

    That’s ok - any plan on adding this to Clay?

    Hey, Those tools can already be connected inside Clay, but having it as a built-in function isn’t planned in the immediate future. Let me know if you want help setting it up!
