Seeking Help with LinkedIn Competitor Contact Enrichment in Clay

Hi everyone, I have a quick quesiton on some enrichment I'd like to do in Clay but my tests haven't been successful yet. What I'm trying to do:

Determine if a specific contact is following the linkedin page of a competitor (or various) and is not following ours
I've tried Claygent and various detailed prompt but wasn't able to get an answer.

has anyone tried this and if so what's the best way to go at it?

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a built-in data point to directly determine if a contact is following a specific LinkedIn company page. However, we do offer a data point called "Contact # LinkedIn Followers" which shows how many followers a contact has on LinkedIn. To approach your goal, you might consider these steps: 1. Use the "Contact # LinkedIn Followers" data point for your contacts. 2. Compare this with your company's and competitors' LinkedIn follower counts. 3. Analyze the data to identify potential patterns or correlations. This method won't provide a definitive answer, but it could offer insights into your contacts' LinkedIn engagement. Would you like more information about other LinkedIn-related data points we offer or alternative approaches to gather this kind of information?

don't think that info will be accessible by claygent, folks typically use scrapeli or scrapefollowers to find contacts following a company's linkedin page

We don't currently offer built-in functionality to determine if a specific contact is following a particular LinkedIn company page. Our data points related to LinkedIn are limited to "Company LinkedIn Followers" and "Contact # LinkedIn Followers", which provide general follower counts. While we can't directly assist with using external tools like Scrapeli or Scrapefollowers, these might indeed be options for gathering more specific LinkedIn follower data. However, please note that using such tools may violate LinkedIn's terms of service. Have you considered alternative approaches within Clay to gather insights about your contacts' engagement with your company and competitors on LinkedIn?

you can also scrape using your own sales nav account but that's risky plus requires you to add the target company in your experience section so that you can find its followers

While external tools like Scrapeli or Scrapefollowers might provide this information, using them could violate LinkedIn's terms of service. Similarly, using Sales Navigator for this purpose is risky and requires adding the target company to your experience section.

We don't have information about or recommend a specific tool called "Scrapefollowers" for gathering LinkedIn follower data. Clay doesn't offer built-in functionality to determine if specific contacts are following particular LinkedIn company pages. While some users might use external tools for scraping LinkedIn data, it's important to note that such practices could violate LinkedIn's terms of service. Instead, we offer data points like "Company LinkedIn Followers" and "Contact # LinkedIn Followers" for general follower counts. Is there a specific goal you're trying to achieve with LinkedIn follower data that we could help you with using Clay's existing features?

We don't have information about or recommend a specific tool called "Scrapefollowers". The link you provided ([URL]) seems to be for a different tool. At Clay, we focus on our own features and integrations for data enrichment and don't endorse external scraping tools, which may violate terms of service of other platforms.
