What It Does

  • Pulls comments from one or multiple LinkedIn posts
  • Captures commenter details: name, headline, and LinkedIn profile URL
  • Records comment text and timestamp for engagement insights
  • Works in both single-post (trigger) mode and batch-processing mode

🏁 Getting Started

Get Post Comments config screenshot
1

Add the node

Drag the Get Post Comments node into your workflow.
2

Enter a LinkedIn post URN

Paste a valid urn:li:activity:XXXXXX or insert from a column using @.
3

Set comment limit

Choose how many comments to fetch (1–250, default = 50).
4

Run in test mode (optional)

Use test mode during setup β€” it fetches only 1 page (50 comments) to save credits.
5

Connect downstream

Send enriched comments into analysis, scoring, or routing flows.

Inputs

πŸ› οΈ Required Fields

  • Post URN (βœ…)
    The LinkedIn post URN (urn:li:activity:1234567890).
    Why it matters: Defines which post’s comments will be fetched. Without this, nothing runs.
  • Limit (βœ…)
    Default: 50. Maximum number of comments to fetch per post (1–250).
    Why it matters: Controls how much engagement data you capture while managing credit use.

Output

The node enriches your table with these columns, while preserving all existing columns:
  • commenter_name β†’ Name of the person who made the comment
  • commenter_headline β†’ Their LinkedIn headline/title
  • commenter_linkedin_url β†’ Link to their LinkedIn profile
  • comment_time β†’ Timestamp of when the comment was posted
  • comment β†’ The actual comment text

✨ If your dataset already has any of these column names, new ones are renamed automatically (e.g., comment_1, comment_2).

How It Works

  1. Reads your selected post_urn (single or from a column).
  2. Fetches comments page by page until the limit is reached (max 250).
  3. Respects your chosen limit and test mode settings.
  4. Extracts commenter details and comment text.
  5. Appends new comment columns while preserving your input data.
  6. Handles errors gracefully β€” skips invalid URNs, logs issues, and continues.

✨ Pro Tips

  • Use test mode during setup to save credits while validating.
  • Rename output columns (e.g., comment_text, comment_author) for cleaner downstream use.
  • Batch multiple posts by passing a column of URNs β€” perfect for campaign reporting.

⚠️ Important Considerations

  • Each page = 50 comments = 5 credits. Larger limits mean more pages and higher credit use.
  • Batch mode preserves all input rows β€” even if a post has no comments (comment fields stay blank).
