Step 1: Create an Airtable

The first step is to create an Airtable with the information you want to save.

Bardeen will find the current company of the profile link that you enter. It will then get the company’s headcount from LinkedIn and save the information to you Airtable, once your setup is complete.

Step 2: Install the extension and rmap the data to Airtable

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

You will be asked to enter a LinkedIn profile link and the Airtable that will contain the information. After you choose the database, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!
