Many companies stop posting on LinkedIn - but spotting them manually takes time. Yet they’re the perfect leads for content writing or social media services.

This workflow helps you find those inactive businesses, analyze their activity, and log all insights in a structured way.

What does this workflow do?

  • Triggered via a webhook where you submit a Google-like query (e.g. "blockchain")
  • Performs a Google Dork search to retrieve 100 LinkedIn company URLs
  • Uses the LinkedIn Company Info API to get:
    • Company name
    • Website
    • Employee range
    • Specialties
    • Follower count
    • Location
    • Last 10 post IDs (if any)
  • For companies with no posts:
    • Adds their data directly to a Google Sheet
  • For companies with previous activity:
    • Retrieves the most recent post using the LinkedIn Post API
    • Extracts and stores the post’s publication date
  • All company data is added to a Google Sheet, including post activity (or lack thereof)

Perfect for agencies and freelancers looking to identify inactive LinkedIn companies and offer content writing or social services.
