Extract Structured LinkedIn Profile Data with Airtop AI Parsing

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to leverage Airtop's AI parsing capabilities to extract structured data from LinkedIn profiles. It acts as a template for building automation that processes profile information, making it ready for further use in CRMs, databases, or other applications.

What it does

This workflow is a foundational template that showcases the integration of Airtop for AI-powered data extraction. While the provided JSON is a minimal example, in a real-world scenario, it would typically:

1. Receive LinkedIn Profile URLs: A trigger (e.g., a webhook, a form submission, or a scheduled read from a spreadsheet) would provide LinkedIn profile URLs.
2. Send URLs to Airtop: The workflow would send these URLs to Airtop for AI parsing.
3. Receive Structured Data: Airtop would return structured data (e.g., name, title, company, education, experience) extracted from the LinkedIn profiles.
4. Process and Store Data: The extracted data would then be processed (e.g., filtered, transformed) and stored in a desired location (e.g., Google Sheets, CRM, database).

Based on the provided JSON, this workflow currently includes:

1. When Executed by Another Workflow (Execute Workflow Trigger): This node acts as a starting point, indicating that this workflow is designed to be triggered by another n8n workflow. This is useful for modularizing complex automations.
2. On form submission (n8n Form Trigger): This node suggests an alternative or additional trigger, allowing the workflow to be initiated by a user submitting data through an n8n form.
3. Edit Fields (Set): A utility node for manipulating or setting data within the workflow. In a full implementation, this might be used to prepare data for Airtop or to format Airtop's output.
4. Airtop: This node represents the core integration with Airtop, where the AI parsing magic happens.
5. Sticky Note: A helper node for adding comments or notes within the workflow for documentation purposes.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow effectively, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
• Airtop Account: An active Airtop account with API access.
• Airtop Credentials in n8n: Configured Airtop credentials within your n8n instance.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Airtop Credentials:
   • Find the "Airtop" node.
   • Click on the "Credential" field and select your existing Airtop credential or create a new one. You will typically need your Airtop API Key.
3. Define Input:
   • If using the "On form submission" trigger, configure the form fields to accept the LinkedIn profile URLs.
   • If triggered by another workflow, ensure the preceding workflow passes the LinkedIn profile URLs as input to this workflow.
4. Configure Airtop Node:
   • Within the "Airtop" node, you would typically specify the operation (e.g., "Parse Profile") and provide the LinkedIn profile URL from the incoming data.
5. Add Post-Processing (Optional): Extend the workflow with additional nodes to handle the structured data returned by Airtop (e.g., a "Google Sheets" node to write data, a "CRM" node to update contacts, or a "Function" node for custom logic).
6. Activate the Workflow: Save and activate the workflow.
