Automate LinkedIn Profile Discovery and Verification
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow intelligently searches for LinkedIn profile URLs based on minimal person information, then goes a step further by verifying the authenticity of the discovered profile. It uses AI-powered web extraction to ensure you get accurate, reliable data for your outreach and enrichment efforts.
About This Workflow
Manually finding and verifying LinkedIn profiles is a time-consuming and error-prone task. This n8n workflow leverages the power of n8n and Airtop's AI-driven browser automation to streamline the entire process. Simply provide a person's details (like name, title, or email) and the workflow will perform a Google search to locate their LinkedIn profile. Crucially, it then uses a connected Airtop browser profile to navigate to the identified URL and intelligently verify if it genuinely belongs to the person you're looking for by analyzing their experience history. This ensures high data quality for sales, marketing, and recruitment teams, drastically reducing manual effort and improving the accuracy of your contact data.
Key Features
- Flexible Input Triggers: Initiate the workflow via a web form for manual entries or as a sub-workflow for integration into larger automations.
- AI-Powered Profile Search: Utilizes Google search and AI extraction (via Airtop) to intelligently identify the most likely LinkedIn profile URL from limited initial data.
- Automated Profile Verification: Authenticates discovered LinkedIn profiles by navigating to the URL with an Airtop browser profile and cross-referencing experience details against the provided person information.
- Conditional Verification: Skips the verification step if an Airtop profile is not provided, offering flexibility in usage.
- High Data Accuracy: Significantly reduces the risk of incorrect or outdated LinkedIn profiles in your CRM or lead lists.
How To Use
- Import the Workflow: Download and import this workflow JSON into your n8n instance.
- Configure Airtop Credentials: Ensure you have an Airtop API credential configured in n8n. You'll need an API key from your Airtop account.
- Set Up Airtop Profile (for Verification): For the verification step to function, create a free browser profile on Airtop (via
https://portal.airtop.ai/browser-profiles) and log into LinkedIn within that profile. You'll then reference this profile by name in the workflow. - Choose Your Trigger:
- Form Submission: Access the workflow via the generated webhook URL (visible after activating the workflow's 'On form submission' node). Fill in 'Person Info' and optionally 'Airtop Profile'.
- External Workflow: Trigger this workflow from another n8n workflow by passing
Person_info(e.g., 'John Doe, CEO at Example Corp') and optionallyAirtop_profile(the name of your Airtop browser profile) as parameters.
- Review Node Configuration: Optionally, inspect the 'Search Profile URL' and 'Verify Profile URL' Airtop nodes to understand or customize the AI prompts used for extraction and verification.
