Overview

Run safe, rate-limited LinkedIn searches inside your n8n workflows by pasting a search URL.

The Periodix Actions node lets you run LinkedIn and Sales Navigator searches and enrichment inside n8n. Search by URL, enrich profiles and companies, and get structured data as workflow items. The node handles rate limiting, LinkedIn session management, and pacing automatically.

This is a verified n8n community node. The verification badge means the package has passed n8n's review process for quality and security.


One node instead of a scraper stack

f you have been combining multiple Apify actors or browser-extension scrapers to cover LinkedIn search, profile enrichment, and company data, the Periodix Actions node consolidates all of that into a single node.


Two ways to use it

Paste a URL directly. Copy any LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search URL from your browser and the node returns matching results.

Dynamic input from a previous node. The Search URL field accepts expressions, which means a previous node in your workflow can supply the URL. For example, your SDR team saves Sales Navigator search links to a Google Sheet or a Notion database. An earlier node reads those URLs row by row, passes each one to the Periodix LinkedIn Search node, and the results flow into the rest of your pipeline automatically. No one has to open n8n or paste anything manually.

This makes it easy to build workflows where lead research is fully automated: your team defines the searches, and n8n runs them on a schedule and delivers structured results to your CRM, enrichment tool, or outreach platform.


Sales Navigator included

Most LinkedIn automation nodes only support standard LinkedIn search. The Periodix LinkedIn Search node also supports Sales Navigator People and Company searches, using the same node and the same API key.


Built by Periodix

Periodix Actions is the first integration node from Periodix, an AI sales agent for LinkedIn rated 4.9/5 on G2. The team has been working with LinkedIn's infrastructure since 2023 and maintains the connection so you don't have to.

The Periodix Actions community node lets you run safe, rate-limited LinkedIn searches and enrichment — LinkedIn Classic and Sales Navigator — straight from your n8n workflows. Search by URL, enrich any profile or company, and extract post engagement data.

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
