Overview

The Periodix Actions community node lets you run safe, rate-limited LinkedIn searches — LinkedIn Classic and Sales Navigator — straight from your n8n workflows. Paste a search URL, and the node returns the matching results.

Periodix Actions is a multi-tenant API for sales-automation primitives. It handles LinkedIn account connection, rate limiting, and pacing on your behalf, so your workflows don't have to.

What you can do

  • Search LinkedIn by URL — paste any LinkedIn Classic or Sales Navigator search URL and get the matching results back as workflow items.
  • Cover multiple result types — People, Companies, Posts, and Jobs on LinkedIn Classic; People and Companies on Sales Navigator.
  • Connect accounts safely — link LinkedIn accounts through a hosted auth flow in the Periodix Actions dashboard. No cookies or credentials are ever stored in n8n.
  • Stay within limits — Periodix paces calls per profile so your searches respect LinkedIn's rate limits automatically.
  • Run searches asynchronously — searches run in the background and resume your workflow through a webhook once results are ready.

Getting started

  1. Install the node in your n8n instance.
  2. Set up authentication with a Periodix Actions API key.
  3. Configure the LinkedIn Search node and run your first search.
