Extract LinkedIn search results into a Google Sheet with SourceGeek

How is works This template makes it possible to extract Search Results from LinkedIn and import them into a Google Sheet.

It determines from where the url is coming from (LinkedIn Basic, Sales Navigator or Recruiter) and selects which node needs to be used.

The node returns a Run ID while in the background the list is being exported. Run going through a loop the workflow waits untill the job is done. When the export is ready, the response is being transformed into a workable object which then can be used to append the data into a Google Sheet.

How to use

  • Connect with a Google Sheet and have the correct columns in place
  • Go to your LinkedIn platform and do a People search. That can be done either in the LinkedIn Basic, Sales Navigator or Recruiter environment.
  • Copy the url of the results page and within the workflow, click on Form Submission
  • Paste in the url and click on Sumbit to start the workflow

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13647/13647.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
