💡 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
Who is this template for?
This workflow template is designed for Sales and Customer Success professionals seeking alerts when potential high-value users, prospects, or existing customers register for a Discourse community. Leveraging Clearbit, it retrieves enriched data for the new member to assess their value.
