Prerequisites
- An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
- Apify API Token (APIFY_TOKEN). You can get your token from the Apify Console.
- Google Sheets Credentials (OAuth) if using the Google Sheets export option. Follow n8n's Google Sheets setup guide for this.
Setup Instructions
- Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
- Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
- Configure your Apify API credentials in n8n (store your APIFY_TOKEN) and ensure the Apify nodes in the workflow are set to use these credentials.
- If using the Google Sheets export (default mode): Configure your Google OAuth credentials for Google Sheets within n8n and select them in the 'Google Sheets' node.
- To run in Form-Based Execution Mode (Default - Google Sheets Output):
- Ensure the 'Form Submission' trigger node (or equivalent start node for form) is active.
- The workflow may provide a UI/form (when triggered) to input LinkedIn post URLs.
- Execute the workflow. After submitting the post URLs, it will process and redirect to the Google Sheet with enriched leads.
- To run in Manual CSV Export Mode:
- Deactivate any form-based trigger nodes and associated UI nodes.
- Activate the 'Manual Trigger' node (or a similar starting node for manual runs).
- Deactivate the Google Sheets export nodes.
- Activate the CSV download/export nodes (e.g., a 'Spreadsheet File' node configured for CSV or a 'Move Binary Data' node for download).
- In the 'Set manual fields' node (or equivalent Set node), input the LinkedIn post URLs/IDs directly.
- Execute the workflow and download the resulting CSV file from the designated CSV export node.
- Review the configurations in the Apify nodes ('LinkedIn Post Comments Scraper', 'LinkedIn Profile Batch Scraper') if you need to adjust scraper parameters.
- Activate the workflow for ongoing automated lead generation.
