Retrieve a LinkedIn contacts name from a profile URL with LinkUp Workflow Solution

Workflow overview

Why this workflow matters

Potentially useful as a reusable automation building block.

Summary This workflow retrieves a LinkedIn contact’s full name from their profile URL using the LinkUp AI Search API. It’s a lightweight alternative to web scraping or complex APIs — integrating neatly into your existing AlekSystem automations. How it works The workflow reads LinkedIn URLs from a Data Table. Each URL is sent to LinkUp via an HTTP Request node using natural language. LinkUp returns the corresponding contact name. The Data Table is automatically updated with the retrieved name. How to use Create a Data Table named LinkedInURL with two fields: url (String) name (String) Add one or more LinkedIn profile URLs, for example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaneheckel/ Store your LinkUp API key in the Settings component. You can get one at https://app.linkup.so/api-keys. Run the workflow. The name field will populate with the correct LinkedIn names.
