How does this automation work?
Bardeen's "Create a Salesforce lead from a LinkedIn post" playbook is a powerful tool for sales prospecting and data sourcing research. It streamlines the process of capturing lead information from LinkedIn posts and transferring it seamlessly into Salesforce. By automating the extraction of profile details from LinkedIn and creating leads in Salesforce, sales teams can improve efficiency, reduce manual data entry, and focus on engaging prospects faster.
Here's how this workflow captures leads from LinkedIn and creates them in Salesforce:
- Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn Post - The Scraper command is used to extract data from the active LinkedIn post tab, identifying the author of the post.
- Step 2: Scrape LinkedIn Profile - In the background, the Scraper continues to extract detailed information from the author's LinkedIn profile.
- Step 3: Extract First Name - Bardeen splits the name string and selects the first name from the array for a personalized touch.
- Step 4: Extract Last Name - The last name is also extracted from the string for a complete lead profile.
- Step 5: Prepare Salesforce Lead - Bardeen assembles all the scraped information into a format suitable for Salesforce.
- Step 6: Create Salesforce Lead - Finally, a new lead is created in Salesforce with all the relevant data from the LinkedIn post and profile.
How to run the workflow
Say goodbye to the manual process of entering lead information from LinkedIn posts. With this playbook, you can seamlessly create Salesforce leads directly from the LinkedIn profile that generated the post. No more tedious copy-pasting or dealing with data entry errors.
Whether you're a sales professional seeking new leads or a marketing team aiming to capitalize on social media engagements, this automation is a game-changer. Capture vital contact details, job titles, company information, and more with a single click. Eliminate the pain points of manual lead extraction and save valuable time.
Don't let the complexities of lead generation slow you down and streamline your lead capture process.

Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Salesforce
First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Salesforce.
Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to specify the Salesforce account, level, lead source, lead status, industry and lead rating.
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Salesforce. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
Step 2: Run the playbook to scrape data from LinkedIn to Salesforce
When you want to save the author of a LinkedIn post as a Salesforce lead with one click, navigate to the LinkedIn post.
Press Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard to launch Bardeen and run the playbook. It will find the author’s LinkedIn profile, extract the information and create a new Salesforce lead. If Bardeen can’t find an associated email address, it will create the lead with a placeholder email address.
You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
