Overview
The "Fetch Company in Sales Navigator" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a company from LinkedIn's Sales Navigator. This includes the ability to fetch the company's profile data and optionally retrieve lists of employees and decision makers associated with that company.
This node is beneficial for sales, marketing, and recruitment professionals who want to automate the extraction of company insights and personnel data directly into their workflows. For example, a user can automatically gather employee details filtered by job positions or locations to target outreach campaigns or enrich CRM records.
Practical examples:
- Automatically fetch a company's profile and its key decision makers to prepare personalized sales pitches.
- Retrieve employee lists filtered by specific industries or years of experience for targeted recruitment.
- Integrate company data into dashboards or reports without manual lookup on LinkedIn.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Webhook URL | The URL where the response will be sent via webhook after the operation completes. |
| Company Hashed URL | The hashed LinkedIn URL of the company to fetch (e.g., https://www.linkedin.com/company/12345678). |
| Retrieve Employees | Boolean flag indicating whether to retrieve the list of employees for the company. |
| Employees Limit | The maximum number of employees to retrieve if "Retrieve Employees" is enabled. Default is 500. |

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the results of the fetch operation. The structure typically includes:
- Company profile information as retrieved from Sales Navigator.
- If enabled, an array of employees matching the specified filters and limits.
- If enabled, an array of decision makers up to the specified limit.
The output is delivered asynchronously via the provided webhook URL, meaning the node triggers the request and the response is sent to the webhook rather than returned immediately.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API key credential for accessing the LinkedIn Sales Navigator API through the linked service.
- The node sends requests to the external API endpoint at
https://api.linkedapi.io/automation/execute. - The user must provide a reachable webhook URL to receive asynchronous responses.
- Proper network connectivity and permissions to access the webhook URL are necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or malformed company hashed URL may cause the API to fail fetching company data.
- Incorrect or unreachable webhook URL will prevent receiving the response.
- Exceeding employee or decision maker limits might result in partial data.
- Missing or invalid API authentication credentials will cause authorization errors.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Invalid company URL": Verify the company hashed URL format matches LinkedIn's expected pattern.
- "Webhook delivery failed": Ensure the webhook URL is publicly accessible and correctly configured to accept POST requests.
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is valid and has required permissions.
- Timeouts or no response: Confirm network connectivity and that the external API service is operational.
