  3. Choose what data you want to extract

    After selecting the source, choose the type of data you want to extract from it. You have checkboxes allowing you to select:

    • Reactions: Includes likes, applause, support, celebration, and other LinkedIn reactions. Great for identifying leads who are aware of your brand and open to starting a conversation.

    • Commenters: people who left a comment on the post. Deeper engagement, great for personalized outreach.

    You can extract either or both depending on your prospecting approach.

    You can also fine-tune your extraction with optional settings, like updating HubSpot contacts automatically or limiting results to recent posts only:

    • Push contact updates to HubSpot: Automatically update your existing HubSpot Contacts using the field mapping you’ve set.

    • Only extract from recent posts: Set a specific date to only extract data from posts published after that date. Target the freshest leads first!
