Troubleshooting Clay: Can't Find Recent Posts by Keyword on LinkedIn

Hi! Created my account yesterday – what a service! I’m currently playing around in order to learn how to use it, so this might be a stupid question. I’m having a list of companies, and i have enriched them with their LinkedIn Company URL – which is working as it should. But when I’m using these URL’s with the “Find recent Posts by User or Company” to find posts including a specific keyword Clay won’t find them (even though I know there are post including that specific keyword). I have’t set the Post Date Filter to 180 days. Is there anything I missing, or is Clay limited to “old” data? Thanks 😀

Hey Christoffer, thanks for reaching out! Do you mind sharing the URL to the Clay table that is taking place in so we can take a closer look?

I’m looking for a keyword that I know exists in a post posted 30 days ago, and as you see I set the Post Date Filter to “60 days ago” – still can’t find the post. When I leave both the Keywords and the Post Date Filter empty the scraper finds a post posted one year from now – so I assume it works to scrape LinkedIn Company URL:s.

Hey Christoffer, glad you're enjoying it so far. From what I can see, this is likely due to the data provider not having results at hand for this company. It appears to be a somewhat smaller firm, so it's possible they're not on the radar just yet. I'd recommend adding a few more rows with other LinkedIn URLs to compare/contrast and get a sense of the results you might get across a larger dataset. One alternative/fallback you might try is using Claygent – an AI with access to the web. You could use this as a backup option to run if the "Find Recent Posts..." doesn't return anything solid. Example prompt as a starting point:
Given a company's LinkedIn URL, find the Posts from that company. Review posts from the last 30 days and look for the word "webinar". If you find a LinkedIn post that mentions "webinar" or "webinars", return the link for that LinkedIn post. Given a company's LinkedIn URL, find the Posts from that company. Review posts from the last 30 days and look for the word "webinar". If you find a LinkedIn post that mentions "webinar" or "webinars", return the link for that LinkedIn post. Here's the company page: {{LinkedIn Company Profile}}
(I'd recommend using the "Argon" model – it's a bit smarter than the others and better for this use case.) Good video on Claygent superpowers here: https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/claygent-ai-web-scraper-limitless-research
