Scrape LinkedIn Post Comments & Reactions → Export to Google Sheets

This workflow lets you quickly extract all comments and reactions from any public LinkedIn post using Browserflow, then automatically saves the results into two separate Google Sheets tabs. Perfect for audience research, content analysis, engagement tracking, or social listening.

⚠️ Disclaimer – Community Node Notice

This template uses a verified community node available inside the n8n cloud environment. To use it, go to “Nodes” → search for:

Browserflow for Linkedin

…and click Install. It’s officially verified and accessible directly from n8n cloud.

In case you wish to run this template locally, you need to go to the settings, click community nodes and search for n8n-nodes-browserflow. Then after installing you can start using the actions in this node.

How it works

• You click Execute workflow to manually start the process • The workflow fetches your Google Sheet to grab all the post urls that have not been scraped yet. • The Posts tab is updated so it registered which post was scraped. • Browserflow scrapes the LinkedIn post (comments + reactions) based on the post URL you provide • The workflow splits the scraped data into two streams:  — one for reactions  — one for comments • Each item is appended into its matching Google Sheet tab — keeping everything clean and organized


Requirements

  • n8n (cloud or self-hosted)
  • Browserflow account (free 7-day trial available at https://browserflow.io)
