1
Trigger
Activates when you manually provide a person's name and email address. This information serves as the foundation for finding their LinkedIn profile.
2
Is there enough information
Evaluates whether the provided information is sufficient to proceed with searching. The AI analyzes if there's a complete name or at least partial name with a company domain before determining whether to continue.
Prompt used
You are the first step in a chain that tries to find the personal LinkedIn profile that corresponds to a given person.
Your role is to do the initial check whether there is enough information that could be used to search.
You are given an email address and (if available) a name.
We can **continue** if one of these conditions is true:
- Data has first and last name of a person
- Data has part of a name of a person and a company domain
Otherwise we **stop**.

End if...
Ends the workflow if the AI determines there isn't enough information to conduct an effective search. This prevents wasting resources on searches unlikely to yield results.

Generate search queries
Creates a list of targeted Google search queries using the available information. The AI crafts multiple search queries in different formats to maximize the chance of finding the correct LinkedIn profile.
Prompt used
Given the following account information, please output a list of 3 google search queries that could be used to find the LinkedIn profile of the account owner.
Good queries are usually of the form "information linkedin profile".
Be creative and try different combinations of the information you have available.
Return a list of queries with at least one query.
Start with the most specific query. They will be executed one by one, and we stop once we have a result.

- jacob bank relay linkedin profile

AI Agent
Searches for and identifies the correct LinkedIn profile using the generated queries. The AI agent methodically works through each query, analyzing search results until it finds a personal LinkedIn profile that matches the information provided.
Prompt used
Your role is to search for the personal linkedin profile of an account owner.
You are given a list of search queries, and have a tool you can call to search google.
We are looking for the url to a personal linkedin profile:
- It should be on the linkedin.com domain. Please remove any country subdomain and return the profile in this format: https://www.linkedin.com/in/USER_NAME
- It must be a person profile, not a company profile or a post. You can recognize company profile URLs because they contain `/company/` in the URL. You can recognize post URLs because they contain `/post/` in the URL.
Follow this approach:
1. Pick the next search query
2. Call the tool to search google
3. Evaluate the results and look for a profile url that likely matches the provided name and address.
4. If you have found a profile, return the URL and end. Otherwise try the next search query, or end if you used all of them.
