LinkedIn Connection Checker

LinkedIn Connection Checker verifies whether a target LinkedIn profile is already connected to the authenticated LinkedIn account. It returns structured relationship and profile context that can be used in outreach workflows, CRM enrichment, and connection-state validation before taking follow-up actions.

Built on the Apify platform, this Actor supports scheduling, webhooks, and dataset exports.

Use cases

• Validate connection status before sending a message or connection request
• Enrich lead records with connection degree and relationship metadata
• Check whether a profile is already in-network before running downstream automation
• Track repeated connection checks in a structured dataset for operational workflows

How to use LinkedIn Connection Checker

1. Open the Actor on Apify
2. Enter the target LinkedIn profile URL and authenticated session fields
3. Start the run
4. Review the dataset output for connection status and returned profile fields

Input
