๐Ÿš€ Transform LinkedIn Post Reactions into Content Ideas with Airtable

๐Ÿ“ Description

This workflow helps you to turn your LinkedIn activity into a powerful content ideation engine. It captures your most recent post reactions on LinkedIn automatically, filters them based on recency, and structures the content into Airtableโ€”ready for brainstorming, inspiration, or publication planning.

โš™๏ธ What It Does

  • Fetches the latest liked posts from LinkedIn via a public API (rapidapi.com/Real-Time Linkedin Scraper).
  • Filters posts to include only those marked as your decided reaction and posted in the last 7 days.
  • Extracts the post text, author, links and more.
  • Formats the data into a database-friendly structure.
  • Saves the output in Airtable for easy tracking, tagging, or team collaboration.

๐Ÿ’ก Use Cases

  • Build a content idea vault from posts you admire.
  • Capture inspiration from thought leaders.
  • Identify trends based on what you find insightful.
  • Supercharge your personal brand or newsletter by turning likes into learning.
