    The "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" feature is still available in our integration with Companies, People, and Jobs. This action allows users to retrieve recent social media posts associated with a specific user or company profile. It's listed as one of our current actions and is accessible through our Clay Shared API. If you're having trouble accessing this feature, please let me know, and I can provide more information on how to use it.

    Yes, the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" feature is still available and functional in our integration with Companies, People, and Jobs. It's listed as one of our current actions and is accessible through our Clay Shared API. To use this feature, you'll need to provide a Social URL (e.g., a LinkedIn profile URL) as input. You can also optionally add keywords to search for in posts and set a date filter. While we don't have specific information about a template, you can access this action through our integrations page. To find it, go to our Integrations page and look for the "Companies, People, and Jobs" integration. If you're still having trouble locating or using this feature, please let us know, and we can provide more detailed assistance.

    The "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" feature is still available in our integration with Companies, People, and Jobs. You can access it through our Integrations page under the "Companies, People, and Jobs" integration. To use this feature: 1. Provide a Social URL (e.g., LinkedIn profile URL) as input 2. Optionally add keywords to search for in posts 3. Set a date filter if needed However, it's important to note that our post data comes from public web scraping, not direct LinkedIn connections. This means we might miss posts if: ** The account hasn't been active recently ** The profile is private * The content hasn't been publicly scraped lately If you're still having trouble finding posts, you might consider alternative options like Apify, Phantombuster, or our Claygent AI research tool. Let us know if you need more guidance on these alternatives.

    Looks like you're still looking for help. We're currently outside of our standard office hours (9 AM to 9 PM EST, Monday through Friday), so it may take a little longer for us to respond. If you’re dealing with a specific table, drop the URL below so we can help you quicker. Otherwise, someone from our team will be in touch soon!

    Hey there, thanks for reaching out! 😊 We’ve temporarily disabled it this week as we’re making some improvements, but it should be back up and running by the end of the week. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

    Hey Daan - unfortunately this extension is still under construction. Our engineers are working hard to get it back up and running. Thanks for your patience!

    Hi George D. Is there an ETA on pulling down recent linkedin posts? That feature is pretty awesome and I'm looking forward to using it.

    Hey Daan,

    We've had a lot of delays with the new solutions but it's getting closer to the finish line. We'll announce it once we're there. 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!

    Hi, I would like to reopen this thread. It looks like the enrichment is still down?

    You’re correct—that enrichment won’t be returning. However, we now offer several alternative options that can give you similar results. Let me know what your use case is, and I can help guide you to the best fit.

    I would like to install a form of "social listening" where we can have a list of LI profiles and if they post a certain post with a certain keyword in it a trigger goes off and sends this information to sales to get in tocuh

    Anything that can help with that? I was looking at the Apify scraper but that gets kind off complicated 😛

    Hey, totally makes sense—this kind of setup can get tricky since you’re monitoring public LinkedIn profiles you don’t control. The best way to approach it in Clay is to use the “Get Person’s Professional Posts and Shares” enrichment. Once that’s set up, click the gear icon at the top right of the table (next to the action menu) and schedule it to rerun daily. That way, it keeps checking their latest posts. From there, you can use a formula to filter by keywords in the post content and send that data to another table if so with the write to other table to trigger alerts to your sales team when there’s a match. Let me know if you’d like help setting that up!

    Bo (. hope you dont mind me jumping on this thread. I have a similar question to above about the new functionality. My use case here is to monitor solely by keywords without pointers to the company/individual. Would this work, or do I have to have those set up? It looks like I didn't get any errors nor get any results. Appreciate your help

    At the moment, tracking posts solely by keywords without linking them to a specific company or individual isn’t something Clay supports—doing that would require monitoring all LinkedIn posts globally, which isn’t feasible. That said, you can use this Apify scraper to search for posts mentioning certain words on Linkedin and scraping it: https://apify.com/curious_coder/linkedin-post-search-scraper Let me know if you’d like help setting it up.
