LinkedIn Sales Navigator: Missing Recent Posts in Clay Table

Hi clay team - I have a confusing situation. I was working with a client and built a sales navigator search on LinkedIn and then imported that to a table in Clay. Within that sales navigator search, I checked the posted on linkedin recently toggle. My plan was to analyze the last five posts for strong fits to my client's value proposition and then use those recent posts as a hook, but when I use the find recent post enrichment, the latest posts are not showing up into clay. For example, the first contact in my has posted 4-5 times in the last month, but it's showing no recent posts found - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7150977304435838976/. What am I missing?

    there's a trade off to be made here. Either Clay needs your LinkedIn cookie and can get 100% accuracy of the linkedin posts but would put your account at risk for being banned, or they can do it without your cookie which unfortunately isn't as accurate. If you want 100% coverage. I'd use phantombuster to get everything.

    Thanks Eric. Would it make sense that it wouldn't pick up anything though?

    from the way they are grabbing the data, unfortunately yes

    I understand if it's not 100% accurate, but I ran it for like 20 contacts

    Eric N. if I'm trying to pull someone's last five posts from phantom buster so I can analyze them with AI and then use the one most relevant to my value prop, how would you suggest I do that with Phantombuster. The way it exports appears to be divided by rows (I.e. 1 post per row, potentiallly multiple rows per contact). Trying to figure out how to translate that in clay.

    Hey! Just replied and sent a video as to how to filter the list. In case you see this first, here's the video about the integration "Filter list of objects" which I set up in your table so it only returns matches for the right person: https://www.loom.com/share/5a648ca690c645c8a19261af0630aeaf
