    Hi Alex, thanks for reaching out! Claygent can do this for you as it can search the web and visit websites! [App: Article Inserter] Here's a draft Claygent prompt for this use case. You will still need to link the correct inputs and ensure the outputs are formatted correctly to your liking. Feel free to give this a try and let me know how it goes! Task: Verify the existence of LinkedIn profiles based on provided LinkedIn URLs, identifying those that return a 404 error (indicating the profile doesn't exist). Summary of Actions: Your goal is to visit each LinkedIn URL provided in the input list and check if the page returns a valid profile or a 404 error. Return a value indicating "Exists" or "404 Error" for each profile. Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. For each LinkedIn profile URL in the list: • Visit the provided*LinkedIn URL.* • Check if the page loads successfully and displays the profile information. • If the profile page loads and displays the individual's information, return "Exists." • If the page returns a 404 error (indicating the profile no longer exists or has been removed), return "404 Error." 2. Repeat the process for all LinkedIn URLs in the input list. Constraints: • Ensure that each URL is processed individually, and the status ("Exists" or "404 Error") is accurately recorded. • If the page does not load due to a network issue or timeout, retry once before marking it as "404 Error." Output Format: For each LinkedIn URL, return the following information: • LinkedIn URL: /LinkedIn URL • Status (either "Exists" or "404 Error") If any URL cannot be accessed, return "Error accessing page" in the status column.
