1323-create-hubspot-contacts-from-linkedin-post-interactions

This n8n workflow automates the process of identifying potential leads from LinkedIn post interactions, enriching their contact information, and creating or updating them as contacts in HubSpot. It's designed to help sales and marketing teams efficiently convert social media engagement into actionable leads.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

1. Schedules Execution: The workflow is triggered on a recurring schedule (defined by the Cron node).
2. Fetches LinkedIn Post Interactions: It uses Phantombuster to scrape interactions (e.g., likes, comments) from a specified LinkedIn post.
3. Extracts and Transforms Data: A Function node processes the raw data from Phantombuster, likely extracting relevant user details and structuring them for subsequent steps.
4. Filters for Valid Data: An If node checks for specific conditions, presumably to ensure that the extracted data is complete enough to proceed (e.g., checking for a name or company).
5. Enriches Contact Information:
   • Dropcontact: For valid leads, it uses Dropcontact to find professional email addresses and other contact details based on the available information.
   • Airtable: It interacts with Airtable, potentially to check for existing leads or log new ones, preventing duplicates and maintaining a central record.
6. Prepares Data for HubSpot: An "Edit Fields (Set)" node formats the enriched data into the structure required by HubSpot.
7. Creates/Updates HubSpot Contacts: It uses the HubSpot node to create new contacts or update existing ones with the enriched information.
8. Initiates Email Campaigns (Optional): If contact enrichment is successful, it uses Lemlist to potentially add the new contact to an email campaign.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
• Phantombuster Account: With access to a LinkedIn Post Scraper or similar phantom.
• Dropcontact Account: For email and contact enrichment.
• Airtable Account: With a configured base and table for lead management.
• HubSpot Account: With appropriate API access for contact management.

1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • For each application node (Phantombuster, Airtable, Dropcontact, HubSpot, Lemlist), click on the node and configure your respective credentials.
3. Customize Phantombuster:
   • In the Phantombuster node, specify the LinkedIn post URL or ID you want to scrape interactions from.
4. Adjust Function Node:
   • Review the "Function" node's JavaScript code to ensure it correctly extracts and transforms the data according to your specific Phantombuster output and desired data structure.
5. Configure If Node:
   • Modify the conditions in the "If" node to match your criteria for valid leads.
6. Set up Airtable:
   • Ensure your Airtable base and table are set up to store lead information, and configure the Airtable node to interact with the correct base and table.
7. Configure Edit Fields (Set):
   • Adjust the fields in the "Edit Fields (Set)" node to map the enriched data to the correct HubSpot properties.
8. Customize HubSpot:
   • In the HubSpot node, ensure the "Resource" and "Operation" are set to create or update contacts as desired, and map the properties correctly.
9. Configure Lemlist (Optional):
