Automate LinkedIn Search to Google Sheets with Periodix

Transform your LinkedIn people searches into organized spreadsheet data automatically. This n8n workflow extracts comprehensive profile information from LinkedIn search results and populates your Google Sheets with structured data—no Sales Navigator subscription required.

What this workflow does

This automation takes any LinkedIn people search URL and processes it through the Periodix LinkedIn Search node to extract 9 key data fields from each profile. The workflow automatically appends clean, structured rows to your Google Sheet containing: name, headline, location, profile URL, network distance, premium status, verified status, followers count, and shared connections. Simply paste your LinkedIn search URL, and watch as profile data flows directly into your spreadsheet.
