While we don't have a specific feature for normalizing LinkedIn profile URLs, our system is designed to work with various LinkedIn URL formats. When using our "write to table" feature, you can paste LinkedIn profile URLs directly into the table. Our system should be able to handle both hashed and readable formats. If you're experiencing issues with specific URL formats, you might want to try using the readable format (https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/) when inputting the URLs. If problems persist, please provide more details about the specific hashed format you're encountering, and we can investigate further.

Hi Yehuda, You'll only be able to achieve this with the Enriched Person from Profile Integration inside of the Clay Table. Let me know if you need more help with setting this up.

Hello Yehuda! Thanks for reaching out! Jumping in for Bo here. Do you mind sharing your table link? I have outlined two approaches you can take here: 1. The reason my teammate recommended using the Enrich Person from Profile action is because it pulls fresher data from a live connector. Here’s a guide: https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/enrich-people-waterfalls-clay-101 That way you can get a bunch of information about the people by spending only 1 credit per row and it will also contain their LI profile. This will be the well formatted one. 2. If you do not wish to use this you can also go for a lower model of an AI column which will basically be given instructions to go to this profile and bring back the correctly formatted LI profile. More on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa8CyIH9jSY Since it is a relatively easier task, you can go for a smaller model which takes 0.5-1 credit per row. I would suggest using the Generate button in this enrichment to generate a well optimised prompt. --------------- To know and learn more about Clay You can join us for live Clay Demos every week or you can go at your own pace at Clay University https://www.clay.com/university/course/clay-101 We offer Live Demos every week at the following times. You can sign up for any of these times here: https://www.clay.com/webinar/clay-open-studio ** Tuesdays @ 3 PM EST ** Wednesday @ 11 AM EST * Thursdays @ 8 AM EST Hope this helps!

For the next person that comes to this: You can also normalise the linkedin URL's via Formula and do a lookup first on how url's are written differently. This doesn't cost any Clay or AI credits. DM me if you have any questions about this
