Troubleshooting 'Find Recent Posts by User or Company' Template Issue

Hey team, I'm trying to use the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" enrichment template, but it seems like it's not working. I run it on a LinkedIn Profile that posted just today (https://linkedin.com/in/thad-tayo) yet still get no posts (images in thread). What might I be doing wrong?

The issue you're experiencing is related to how our post data collection works. We get posts through public web scraping rather than direct LinkedIn connection, which means there are a few limitations to be aware of: 1. Posts might not be immediately available since they need to be publicly scraped firstYou can try these options to get the data you need: 1. Input the LinkedIn URL and optionally use the following parameters: • Keywords to filter specific post content • Post Date Filter to specify a timeframe 2. Alternative solutions include: • Using Apify or Phantombuster services (note: these use your LinkedIn account and carry a risk of being blocked) • Using Claygent with advanced AI models like Argon or GPT 4o for better results Source: Find Recent Posts by User or Company with Companies, People, Jobs
