Export LinkedIn Profile Details to Google Sheets
Introduction
Capture a LinkedIn profile once, then let the workflow wait and fetch the final data before saving it neatly to Google Sheets. No manual refresh, no copy-paste ✅
Trigger Event
You start the workflow (via webhook or button) and provide the LinkedIn username (the part after /in/ in the profile URL).
Actions
- Start LinkedIn fetch
- The workflow sends the LinkedIn username to MagicalAPI to create a fetch request and receives a request_id.
- Wait for processing
- It pauses for 5 minutes so the profile can be processed in the background.
- Retrieve results using request_id
- The workflow checks the status using the same request_id and pulls the completed profile data (name, URL, headline, followers, summary, experience, education, etc.).
- Save to Google Sheets
- A new row is added to your selected Google Sheet, filling columns like Name, URL, Followers, Headline, Description, Company Name/Link, Job Title, and University Name.
Benefits
- Hands-free: one click to start; the workflow waits and retries automatically
- Clean records: profile data stored in a consistent sheet format
- Faster research: no copy-paste from LinkedIn profiles
- Fewer errors: eliminates manual re-checks and missed fields
- Easy sharing: your team can filter and act on up-to-date profile info
