Overview
This node integrates with the Browserflow API to automate various LinkedIn-related tasks, including exporting LinkedIn chat history. Specifically, the Export LinkedIn Chat History operation retrieves messages from a LinkedIn conversation given a profile URL. This is useful for users who want to archive or analyze their LinkedIn chats programmatically.
Common scenarios include:
- Exporting chat history for CRM or customer support follow-up.
- Analyzing communication patterns with LinkedIn contacts.
- Backing up important conversations automatically.
Example: Given a LinkedIn profile URL, the node fetches the last N messages exchanged in the chat with that contact.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn URL | The LinkedIn profile URL to get chat history from. |
| Number of Messages | Specify how many recent messages to retrieve. If left blank, all available messages will be fetched. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array where each item contains the chat history data retrieved from the LinkedIn profile specified. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes message details such as sender, timestamp, and message content.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
