You can use the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" action to retrieve recent LinkedIn posts. Here's how it works: 1. You'll need to provide: • A LinkedIn profile URL (e.g., 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/username') • Optional: Keywords to search for in posts • Optional: Post date filter to get posts after a specific date Please note that this feature relies on public web scraping, so there are some limitations: ** Posts might not be available if the account is private ** Content may be missed if it hasn't been publicly scraped recently * Recent activity may not be captured if the person hasn't been active

Hi Jason, thank you for reaching out. Currently that feature is experiencing issues on Clay. However tools like Phantombuster & Apify.com have scrapers that can pull follower data and the results can be imported through the integration. However, both options use your live session cookies which may risk your LI account. Let me know if this helps. I found this actor , for example, which should get the job done for your specific use case. Apify integrates with Clay, so you'll be able to build tables based on Apify actor runs, or trigger actor runs at strategic points in your workflow. Here's how you can set up a Clay table from an Apify actor run:
(1782 kB)
And here's how you can trigger an Apify actor in an active workflow:
(1434 kB)
For the trigger-based approach you'll likely have to study the documentation of the specific actor, to see what JSON payload it expects to trigger the run. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!

Hi Stefano, unfortunate to hear that the Clay feature to find recent linkedin posts is experiencing issues. Will this feature be reintroduced in the future or will it be removed?
