To scrape LinkedIn posts using profiles in the same table, you can follow these steps: 1. Start with a table containing LinkedIn profile URLs. 2. Use our "write to table" feature to create a new table for posts. 3. Copy this template to your workspace. 4. Link the two tables by selecting the new template from the dropdown in your original table. 5. Map the columns between the Influencers table and the Posts table. 6. Click the Play button to populate the Posts table with recent LinkedIn posts from the profiles in your original table. This setup will automatically scrape and populate recent LinkedIn posts when you add new profile URLs to your original table.

cant I scrape it similar to the recent news column feature where it provides me a list of aeverything in a single column and i can create columns using that?
Yes, you can scrape LinkedIn posts in a single column using our "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" feature. Here's how: 1. Use the "write to table" feature to create a new table for posts. 2. Add a column with LinkedIn profile URLs. 3. Use the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" function, which returns an array of posts. 4. This will create a single column with all the posts. 5. You can then create additional columns based on the post data as needed. Keep in mind that this method uses public web scraping, so some posts may be missed if they're from private accounts or haven't been publicly scraped recently.

can i do it in the same table?
Yes, you can scrape LinkedIn posts in the same table using LinkedIn profile URLs and have all posts in a single column. Here's how: 1. In your existing table, add a column for LinkedIn profile URLs. 2. Use our "write to table" feature to add a new column for posts. 3. Apply the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" function to the LinkedIn URL column. 4. This will create a single column with an array of all recent posts for each profile. Keep in mind that this method uses public web scraping, so some posts may not be included if they're from private accounts or haven't been publicly scraped recently.

i cannot find the function "Find Recent Posts by User or Company"
Hi Sahil, thank you for reaching out. . We've temporarily hidden the find recent social posts enrichment. This is because the data provider for the enrichment is currently undergoing some data quality issues, causing incorrect outputs. We've hidden the enrichment temporarily to prevent users from spending credits on this data while they work on a fix for the issue. We'll let you know as soon as this is live! In the meantime, a workaround for getting recent posts would be to use an Apify actor such as this one to pull that information into Clay. Totally understand this isn't as convenient, and will keep you updated about our progress with the integration. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Stefano (Clay) Thanks. Will try it out.
Happy to help!
