Best Practices for Enriching LinkedIn URLs from Multiple Sources

·Dec 15, 2025 05:11 PM·

if i have multiple sources for a linkedin URL and i want to enrich the person, what's the best practice of cleanly doing it? I always build a formula that asks which of my columns has content and then decides based on this which one to reference to enrich...is there something more elegant

Your formula approach is actually the standard best practice. Use formulas that trigger enrichment only when conditions are met - this gives you clean control over which URL source to prioritize. [1]
For people enrichment, you need the profile URL as a "corner piece" - the essential identifier before enriching. [2] Your conditional formula ensures you're using the best available URL source, which is more reliable than letting the enrichment randomly pick from multiple columns.
This approach maximizes accuracy since results are always better when you have a clean, prioritized URL input. [3]

Thanks for the feedback! Your suggestion for a more elegant solution to handle multiple LinkedIn URL sources makes sense. Currently, conditional formulas are the recommended approach for controlling which URL source to prioritize. [1]
We appreciate feature requests like this - they help us improve the platform. Your current formula method is solid and gives you the control you need, but we understand wanting something more streamlined.
