Scrape a Sales Navigator search into Google Sheets

This workflow monitors LinkedIn posts from a list of target accounts or people and notifies your team when new content appears. Use it as a sales trigger: when a prospect posts about a challenge your product solves, your rep can respond with a relevant comment or a timely message.

The workflow reads a list of company or people names from a Google Sheet, runs LinkedIn post searches through the Periodix LinkedIn Search node on a daily schedule, filters for new results, and sends a summary to Slack or email. It works with both LinkedIn Classic and Sales Navigator post searches.

This example builds a simple workflow that runs a Sales Navigator search and appends each result as a row in a Google Sheet.

Before you start

• The Periodix Actions node is installed.
• You've set up authentication and connected at least one LinkedIn profile.
• You have a Google Sheets credential configured in n8n.

Build the workflow

1. Add a Manual Trigger (or any trigger of your choice).
2. Add the Periodix LinkedIn Search node.
3. Pick a connected Profile.
4. Paste a Sales Navigator search URL into Search URL — for example:
   https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people?...
5. Set Limit to the number of results you want.
6. Add a Google Sheets → Append Row node downstream, and map the fields you need from the search results.
7. Execute the workflow.

The Periodix LinkedIn Search node will wait for the search to complete, then emit one item per result. Each item flows into the Google Sheets node and is appended as a new row.
