Step 2: Connect LinkedIn and Pull Comments

Fetch all commenters from the submitted post using your ConnectSafely LinkedIn integration.

1. Add the Fetch Post Comments node and connect it after Form Entry Trigger.
2. Set Operation to getAllPostComments.
3. Set Post URL to {{ $json['LinkedIn Post URL'] }}.
4. Set Account ID to [YOUR_ID].
5. Credential Required: Connect your connectSafelyApi credentials.

Step 3: Prepare Commenters and Eligibility Logic

Split comments into individual records, check connection status, and route eligible profiles to personalized message generation.

1. Add Separate Commenters and set Field to Split Out to comments.
2. Connect Separate Commenters to Batch Iterate Records to process one commenter at a time.
3. Add Check Connection Status and set Operation to checkRelationship.
4. Set Profile ID in Check Connection Status to {{ $json.publicIdentifier }} and Account ID to [YOUR_ID].
5. Credential Required: Connect your connectSafelyApi credentials.
6. Configure Eligibility Check with two boolean conditions: Connected equals {{ $json.connected }} = false and Invitation Sent equals {{ $json.invitationSent }} = false.
7. Connect Eligibility Check true output to Compose Invite Text and false output to Record Skipped Outcome.

Step 4: Set Up Message Generation

Create a personalized connection request message based on each commenter’s profile details.

1. Add the Compose Invite Text code node after Eligibility Check.
2. Paste the provided JS Code that generates a spin-text message and enforces a 300-character limit.
3. Verify the node references Batch Iterate Records via $('Batch Iterate Records').item.json for name and profile data.

Step 5: Configure Invite Sending and Outcome Recording

Send the invite, apply a delay to respect rate limits, and record success or skipped outcomes.

1. Add Send Connection Invite and set Operation to sendConnectionRequest.
2. Set Profile ID to {{ $('Eligibility Check').item.json.accountId }} and Profile URN to {{ $('Eligibility Check').item.json.profileUrn }}.
3. Set Custom Message to {{ $json.generatedMessage }}.
4. Credential Required: Connect your connectSafelyApi credentials.
5. Add Delay Window and set Unit to hours and Amount to 1.
6. Connect Delay Window to Record Sent Outcome to capture successful sends.
7. Ensure Record Skipped Outcome receives the false output from Eligibility Check to log already-connected or pending profiles.

Step 6: Merge Results and Build the Report

Combine sent and skipped outcomes and generate a summary report for the run.

1. Add Combine Outcomes and set Mode to combine.
2. Connect both Record Sent Outcome and Record Skipped Outcome to Combine Outcomes.
3. Note the parallel execution: Record Sent Outcome outputs to both Batch Iterate Records and Combine Outcomes in parallel, and Record Skipped Outcome outputs to both Batch Iterate Records and Combine Outcomes in parallel.
4. Add Build Summary Report after Combine Outcomes to aggregate totals, skip reasons, and success rates.

Step 7: Test and Activate Your Workflow

Validate that commenters are processed correctly and the summary report is produced before turning it on.

1. Click Test Workflow and submit the form from Form Entry Trigger using a real LinkedIn post URL.
2. Confirm Fetch Post Comments returns a list of comments and Separate Commenters splits them correctly.
3. Verify that eligible commenters reach Send Connection Invite and that skipped profiles are logged by Record Skipped Outcome.
4. Check Build Summary Report output for accurate totals and success rate.
5. Once validated, toggle the workflow to Active for production use.
