What it does
Summary This workflow retrieves a LinkedIn contact’s full name from their profile URL using the LinkUp AI Search API. It’s a lightweight alternative to web scraping or complex APIs — integrating neatly into your existing n8n automations. How it works - The workflow reads LinkedIn URLs from a Data Table. - Each URL is sent to LinkUp via an HTTP Request node using natural language. - LinkUp returns the corresponding contact name. - The Data Table is automatically updated with the retrieved name. How to use 1. Create a Data Table named LinkedInURL with two fields: - url (String) - name (String) 2. Add one or more LinkedIn profile URLs, for example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaneheckel/ 3. Store your LinkUp API key in the Settings component. You can get one at https://app.linkup.so/api-keys. 4. Run the workflow. The name field will populate with the correct LinkedIn names. Requirements - LinkUp account - n8n version: tested on 1.122.4 (Ubuntu) Need Help? Feel free to comment this post. Contact me on LinkedIn or ask in the Forum!
