How to Find Active LinkedIn Users and Tech Founders on Clay

Hello - 1. Question: where, in Clay , can I search for people who post frequently on LinkedIn ❔ ❓ (I remember LinkedIn Nav has that search criteria ) 2. Is there a search method you'd suggest to find Tech founders who post/publish content?

Hey Aris! Thanks for reaching out. It's currently not possible to filter for this through the find people search filters in Clay. For context, we integrate with multiple data providers to provide company/people data, for the most part though, we don't use your cookie/login data. Those specific filters typically require that you be logged into your profile to access it. Here's a workaround: Option 1. Create a search in your Sales Nav and use the external source option in Clay (see GIF below) to import results. To do this, the search url has to include results that are not part of saved list, filter or search in your account. 2. Use tools like Apify.com or PhantomBuster (example actor: https://phantombuster.com/automations/sales-navigator/6988/sales-navigator-search-export) to scrape search results from your LI account. These tools use your session cookie and can help with extracting live results from Sales Nav. However, they may risk your LI account. Let me know if this helps. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1187236525/58bbbe5867ca944c258e6b5c/CleanShot+2024-09-20+at+15_13_15%402x.png?expires=1726843500&signature=0b4c6a39df82e820f2bc6e13a4713dcaef871eafdbf9bf7d856023ab57eb2fb1&req=dSEvEct9m4RdXPMW1HO4zfkCuTzV1XZrAaO5Zfk%2FucpQI5y1D6liRBuAyVL5%0A2omU%0A https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1187235270/c99b74dc050cc94727b38dc1/CleanShot+2024-09-20+at+15_09_07.gif?expires=1726843500&signature=589c87260f97620dab8f64906116afe69ea3332b550e18801b2b7694f49c72be&req=dSEvEct9mINYWfMW1HO4zbXvncmfD7gteTbs2lgAfJJpHe3%2FkVNIztz8Pwmz%0A5OKc%0A

Thanks for this Daniela D.. When you write "however, they may risk your LI account", do you mean LI can detect it's an automation and restrict my account (potentially)? Since automation are against their policy?

Hey Aris! Thanks for the reply. Happy to help. Yes, LinkedIn can potentially block your account as part of its anti-scraping measures.
