Is there a good method where when I apply to a job in LinkedIn that it would trigger or gather the details of the job--company name, position, date applied, etc. and export/import the data into my AirTable base as part of my job search?

 

 

Hello @Drew_Nemer,
I've checked in LinkedIn API and webhook documentation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/api-guide/webhook-validation
Also checked in Zapier and Make, Is there any specific inbuilt integration available to trigger those specific things? 
It's not there on any of these platforms as well.

I have seen people talk about Make and Zapier. I do not use those tools because i recognize they are useful but not essential if you know how to script webhooks or api calls and such--there are free alternatives.  I did find www.bardeen.ai/ which was helpful to a degree, but the learning curve was a bit much for me. I would say that more people should look into bardeen because it seems to be useful on a free level


This could be of interest:

It’s a chrome extension that lets you add LinkedIn profiles to Airtable


Since this was still one of the top google responses for this I just wanted to add that while all of the specific selectors identified in the original post are not useful anymore (I assume because LinkedIn changed their naming etc and it relied on very specific class names) this is a viable approach still. You just have to be a bit more clever with general purpose selectors. I made a greatly expanded and updated list of selectors and posted them to reddit below. Feel free to reach out with any questions or issues!
