They posted or liked or commented in the last 3 months
Hey there, to find profiles who are active on LinkedIn I would use the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" enrichment. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1169067731/3913bc33ff961673fe248d10/CleanShot+2024-09-04+at+16_05_42%402x.png?expires=1725482700&signature=07f31cfad5a93f0aed3405179ec47ea81f26ba791249594b4b58b32186bc60ca&req=dSEhH8l4moZcWPMW1HO4zYjI5FP97dbBAaIVEk1Fbo6E%2Fow3BW%2FztnlqcxKR%0APKTr%0A All you need to do is input their LinkedIn profile, and it will pull the following fields from their post including date. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1169070211/6e8bf7171b236761458754d2/CleanShot+2024-09-04+at+16_07_25%402x.png?expires=1725482700&signature=f127fdc5c09d12b57ee4e71ef6ab8d1a9cc6249af2c2b20b234a1aa86b702dc2&req=dSEhH8l5nYNeWPMW1HO4zfl9xhUI%2FlVpS08wFF6W4fR%2FgEN%2B3xh9S9BV1aCq%0ArlUq%0A Create a formula column to filter for the profiles that have posted in the last three months and then you will find your active profiles! Let me know if this helps and if you have any other questions. Here is more documentation on the find recent posts enrichment: https://docs.clay.com/en/articles/9672384-find-recent-posts-by-user-or-company-with-companies-people-jobs
This is super helpful Tanvi, thank you. But what If I wanted to see if they had liked or commented on ang post in the last 3months? Not everyone posts on linkedin but they are still active.
Hey there, so if you're targeting LinkedIn likes and comments for specific leads you won't be able to set this up with any native Clay enrichment option - you'll have to use Apify or Phantombuster scrapers. 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: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1136960340/97e4e0aa1500879dbbe57ea0/CleanShot+2024-08-06+at+15_48_57.gif?expires=1725545700&signature=670f58b778fd02c8886b8fa84bdff69f5add1f74c365b037f345b92b5b0f1d13&req=dSEkEMB4nYJbWfMW1HO4zejWag3Y7nIAAut9xPamiwCYpw%3D%3D%0A And here's how you can trigger an Apify actor in an active workflow: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1137852576/18ba4740bed56137b073908c/CleanShot+2024-08-07+at+11_15_01.gif?expires=1725545700&signature=89263bf161924a343ddf229507abceccdcc0b4f11e9a3970c7118c1d76df1a9c&req=dSEkEcF7n4RYX%2FMW1HO4ze%2BfSmyuS%2FKR98ZbnAjuOC%2Fuxg%3D%3D%0A 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!
We haven't heard back from you in a bit, so we're going to go ahead and close things out here - feel free to let us know if you still need something!
