1.1 Workflow description

Title
Extract LinkedIn profile data & generate follow-ups with Vision AI and Google Forms
Workflow name
Extract LinkedIn profile data & generate follow-ups with Vision AI and Google Forms

The problem Ever attend a networking event and find yourself taking screenshots of people's LinkedIn? Sounds counter-intuitive because you are connecting on LinkedIn. But you find it hard to keep track of everyone you've met. You also don't want to miss diligently updating your CRM with details and insights.

**The solution ** There's no need for yet another app. Continue taking screenshots. Just share them on a 2-field only Google Form: screenshot + your quick notes about the person.

Create a shortcut to the Google Form link on your phone homescreen. Voila! You have app-like access without the need for an app.

Once you submit with just these 2 pieces of info, AI parses the image AND crafts a follow-up message. Within minutes!

Just open your spreadsheet to have all that information consolidated - automatically - for your review.

Promote yourself from do-er to manager.

Who should use it?

Anyone really. If you find yourself meeting people but want to be more meticulous or efficient staying on top, use this.

How to set it up

  • Time: ~10 minutes end-to-end.
  • Import the provided workflow JSON in n8n.
  • Connect credentials: Google Drive (read), Google Sheets (write), OpenAI.
  • Configure key information: Google Sheets and relevant columns
  • Configure Open AI models based on your cost/ efficiency requirements
  • Confirm column headers in your Sheet match the variables (or update the variables).
  • Test with one screenshot.

Pro-tip: Add that Google Form link as a shortcut on your phone's home screen. Get app-like convenience without downloading yet another app.
