Copy a LinkedIn job post to Airtable

LinkedIn is a must-have for any serious professional looking to land their dream job.

But with so many job posts, how do you manage your job search process like a pro?

One way is to use this automation!

It will save your favorite job posts to an Airtable base with one click. 

Doing this will free you up to search relevant job posts quickly and decide which ones you want to apply to later. You can even create a rating and tracking system in Airtable that saves your excitement level for each job post and prioritize those.

Here is how the automation works.

Please be aware that the excessive or abusive use of extensions, bots, or automation tools on some websites can lead to penalties, including temporary or even permanent restrictions on your account. We recommend you read and adhere to the specific terms of the websites you are visiting and using to avoid any disruptions or issues. We do not assume any responsibility for the consequences of abuse.

Step 1: Set up a Job Tracker in Airtable

The first step is to set up an Airtable base for your jobs with the fields you want to save. You can create one from scratch or duplicate our template that we’ve optimized for this use case.

Bardeen will automatically copy the most important information from the web page like position, position details, company, hiring person link to the job post, and more. We will map this information to your Airtable fields in step #2

Step 2: Map your fields and run the automation

Once you find a job post that interests you, activate Bardeen (or hit OPTİON + B) and run this playbook. Specify the Airtable base that you created in Step #1.

You will also have a prompt to map the fields that Bardeen scraped to your Airtable base. Bardeen will try to match the columns automatically, but please double-check them to make sure that they are correct.

Here is what it looks like:

The fields on the left contain data from the job post. The fields on the right are columns that you created in your Airtable base. Map the information on the left to your columns. If you want to skip information, leave that field blank. That’s it!

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Airtable. You can Edit Inputs later by overing over the playbook. 

Now, all you have to do is open Bardeen and run this playbook for every job post you see that catches your eye!

Search for more integration opportunities with Scraper automations, Airtable integrations, or modify the playbook to better suit your specific workflow needs.

Also, seek out additional integration options for LinkedIn integrations, or both Airtable and LinkedIn.
