💡 Pro Tip — If you’re pulling LinkedIn data through HTTP requests or dealing with API restrictions, there’s a community node called ScraperNode that handles this natively. It has dedicated scrapers for profiles, companies, jobs, and people search — you just pass a URL and get structured data back.
Description
Scrape LinkedIn Post Comments & Reactions → Export to Google Sheets
Screenshot 20251118 at 09.00.56.png This workflow lets you quickly extract all comments and reactions from any public LinkedIn post using Browserflow, then automatically saves the results into two separate Google Sheets tabs. Perfect for audience research, content analysis, engagement tracking, or social listening.

How it works
• You click Execute workflow to manually start the process • The workflow fetches your Google Sheet to grab all the post urls that have not been scraped yet. • The Posts tab is updated so it registered which post was scraped. • Browserflow scrapes the LinkedIn post (comments + reactions) based on the post URL you provide • The workflow splits the scraped data into two streams: — one for reactions — one for comments • Each item is appended into its matching Google Sheet tab — keeping everything clean and organized
