Scrape LinkedIn profiles into Google Sheets using Google Custom Search

Who’s it for This template is ideal for recruiters, founders, sales teams, and lead-generation specialists who want to quickly collect LinkedIn profiles based on role, industry, and region. It is perfect for users who want profile lists for outreach, research, hiring, or market analysis without manually searching LinkedIn.

What it does / How it works This workflow begins with a web form where you enter three inputs: position, industry, and region.
Once the form is submitted, the workflow performs a Google Custom Search query restricted to LinkedIn profile URLs.
The results are processed to extract structured profile information such as:

Name
Job title (cleaned using custom logic)
LinkedIn profile link
Description / bio snippet
Profile image URL

The workflow automatically handles pagination by detecting whether more results are available and continues fetching until the limit is reached.
All extracted profiles are appended or updated in a Google Sheet so you always maintain an organized and deduplicated list.
