The problem it solves

You want to keep tabs on what people or competitors post on LinkedIn, but manually checking each profile and copying posts into a spreadsheet is slow and error-prone. It's easy to end up with duplicate entries or miss engaging posts.

Who it fits

Content marketers, social sellers, recruiters, or growth teams monitoring LinkedIn activity.

How it works

  1. On a weekly schedule, the system reads a list of LinkedIn usernames from your Google Sheet.
  2. It pulls each profile's recent posts, including text, engagement, and media.
  3. New posts are checked against what's already saved so nothing gets logged twice.
  4. Posts below your minimum engagement level are filtered out automatically.
  5. Qualifying posts are added to your Google Sheet, and a summary email is sent through Gmail.
What you get

LinkedIn activity tracked across every profile

You get every new post from the profiles you follow logged automatically, with a weekly summary in your inbox.

What you get

An always-current, duplicate-free Google Sheet of LinkedIn posts, plus an email summary after each run.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and access to a LinkedIn scraping API like Apify.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
