Fixing LinkedIn URLs for Automation Tools: Suggestions Needed

ยท
ยท

When I run Claygent to find someone's LinkedIn profile it often returns a URL with the country code first - https;//it.linkedin.com/in/name of the person. The URL is valid but changes when you click through. The problem is Lemlist and other automation platforms reject it. Any suggestions?

    you can use a formula column to replace country code with www. or maybe play around with prompting, 1st option is an easy solution

    Yeah, not sure how consistent the LinkedIn URL's are as sometimes when I click through the country code is at the end, and sometimes it isn't as well as other inconsistencies. I was hoping with the prompting someone else may have addressed it already and might have some pointers to speed me up.

    Callum S. You could try to one shot the link modification in the original prompt, provide an example of the link type you're looking for and be explicit. If this isn't consistent, use a new ai column to modify the country li link according to your needs. You should be okay with gpt mini for this secondary prompt

    Hey Callum, thanks for reaching out! Based on the context you've shared, it seems like improving your Claygent prompt is the best way to resolve this. Do you mind sending the link to the table so we can take a look at your prompt? https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1171717996/ac7729f84b426e1d0358af02/image.png?expires=1728658800&signature=1184780cd306d5a5b55699abfadd83800a2636d715f5ddf4db920a0d32a30224&req=dSEgF85%2FmohWX%2FMW1HO4zYTywCP6A58e2BKsam%2FhVPuGqw%3D%3D%0A

    Great suggestions Muhammad and Ajay, let's see if we can address the issues in the Claygent prompt directly. If not, we can create a secondary GPT column to normalize the LinkedIn link.
