It\u2019s a lightweight alternative to web scraping or complex APIs \u2014 integrating neatly into your existing **n8n** automations.\n\n## How it works \n- The workflow reads LinkedIn URLs from a **Data Table**. \n- Each URL is sent to LinkUp via an HTTP Request node using natural language. \n- LinkUp returns the corresponding contact name. \n- The Data Table is automatically updated with the retrieved name. \n\n## How to use \n1. Create a Data Table named **LinkedInURL** with two fields: \n - `url` (String) \n - `name` (String) \n2. Add one or more LinkedIn profile URLs, for example: \n `https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaneheckel/` \n3. Store your LinkUp API key in the **Settings** component. \n You can get one at [https://app.linkup.so/api-keys](https://app.linkup.so/api-keys). \n4. Run the workflow. The `name` field will populate with the correct LinkedIn names. \n\n## Requirements \n- **LinkUp** account\n- **n8n** version: tested on 1.122.4 (Ubuntu)\n\n## Need Help?\nFeel free to comment this [post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/n8n-about_linkedin-activity-7436922917336289281-hTxv/).\nContact me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaneheckel/) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!"
