🎣 Generate daily LinkedIn B2B leads with DataForB2B and LinkUp
⚡ 48 views · 🎣 Lead Generation & Enrichment
💡 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
Quick overview
Automate B2B lead generation on autopilot: every weekday morning, DataForB2B finds fresh leads matching your ICP (800M+ profiles, 50+ filters), skips anyone already contacted, and sends up to 10 personalized LinkedIn connection requests per day via LinkUp API - with safe, human-like limits.
How it works
- Runs every weekday at 9:00 AM using a schedule trigger.
- Searches for people matching your ICP in DataForB2B (for example, “Head of Sales” in the United States) and returns up to 25 results.
- Normalizes the lead data into consistent fields such as LinkedIn profile URL, name, title, company, and location.
- Skips leads whose LinkedIn URLs were already processed in previous executions to avoid re-contacting the same profiles.
- Limits the list to a daily cap of 10 leads.
- Sends a personalized connection request for each remaining lead using the LinkUp API, continuing even if individual invites fail.
Setup
- Create a DataForB2B API key at app.dataforb2b.ai and adjust the people filters to match your ICP.
- Get your LinkUp API key at app.linkupapi.com and connect your account in the LinkUp dashboard.
