    This is likely because our LinkedIn integrations don't use your active session or cookies to find data on LinkedIn.The tradeoff is that it could miss some information here and there, especially if there are privacy restrictions in their profiles, meaning that you need to be logged into an account to see all the data, that could be a limitation set by LinkedIn or the person themselves.We're continuously working on these tools to improve coverage though!

    Hi Juan, Thanks for the quick reply! Is there anything I could do on my end to improve this? Unsure if we're able to connect a linkedin profile to do this inside Clay

    You can use this through the Phantombuster integration, PB uses you linkedin session, so the will be always some risk for your linkedin account. You can also use Apify, which is also integrated with Clay.
