LinkedIn Prospect Research
Build a pre-outreach brief using Composio's LinkedIn toolkit plus web search.
Workflow
- Inputs. Prospect's LinkedIn URL OR (full name + company). If neither, ask.
- Find the right slug:
composio search "get linkedin profile" "search linkedin posts" --toolkits linkedin
- Link account if needed:
composio link linkedin
- Pull profile + recent activity:
composio execute LINKEDIN_GET_MY_INFO -d '{}'
composio execute LINKEDIN_SEARCH_PEOPLE -d '{ "keywords": "Jane Doe Acme" }'
- Augment with web search for recent mentions, funding news, product launches, conference talks.
- Write a one-page brief to
./research/<slug>.md with sections:
- Role + tenure + prior companies
- Top 3 recent posts / engagement hooks
- Company context (stage, funding, recent news)
- 3 personalized opening lines
- Best channel / time-of-day guess
Output format
# <Name> — <Title> at <Company>
## Snapshot
## Hooks (ranked)
1. …
## Suggested opener
> "<one-sentence opener>"
## Do not mention
- <topic to avoid>
Guardrails
- Only use public LinkedIn data — no scraping of connection-gated content.
- Flag if you cannot verify a claim; do not fabricate role history.
- If the prospect has posted about job searches / layoffs, warn the user before outreach.
