find-linkedin-url

Resolve a person's LinkedIn profile URL from their name and company, with an identity-validation gate that rejects wrong matches, powered by Cargo. Triggers: "find the LinkedIn for John Smith at Acme", "get LinkedIn URLs for these contacts", "what's this person's LinkedIn", "add LinkedIn profiles to my list". Providers: linkedin. Skip when: you already have the LinkedIn URL and want the profile data — use enrich-linkedin-profile.

Find LinkedIn URL

Resolve a person's LinkedIn profile URL from their name and company, with an identity-validation gate that rejects wrong matches.

Before anything else

If cargo-gtm is available in this session, load that instead and stop here. This skill is a standalone slice of it. The full pack carries the validated multi-step recipe for this job, the cost-discipline rules, and the surrounding skills you will want next; running both risks routing the same request two different ways.

Setup

Skip whatever is already done — all three steps are idempotent.

bash

npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli
cargo-ai login --email you@company.com          # sends a code, then exits
cargo-ai login --email you@company.com --code 123456

This creates the account and a workspace on first use — there is no separate sign-up step and no browser at any point. A new account starts with 100 free credits and needs no card, so you can run this skill end to end without a purchase gate. Say the free balance out loud before the first paid call on a new account.

Already signed in? cargo-ai whoami confirms it.

bash

cargo-ai workspaceManagement session upsert \
  --session-id "${SESSION_ID:-$(date +%s)}" \
  --title "find-linkedin-url" \
  --summary "[gtm-skills: find-linkedin-url] Session started from the find-linkedin-url standalone skill."

Do the job

bash

# 1. Resolve a candidate URL
cargo-ai orchestration action execute-batch \
  --action '{"kind":"connector","integrationSlug":"linkedin","actionSlug":"findProfileUrl","config":{}}' \
  --records '[{"fullName":"John Smith","companyName":"Acme"}]' \
  --wait-until-finished > candidates.json

# 2. Validate it — enrich the candidate and confirm the company matches
cargo-ai orchestration action execute-batch \
  --action '{"kind":"connector","integrationSlug":"linkedin","actionSlug":"enrichProfile","config":{}}' \
  --records "$(jq -c '[.results[] | {linkedinUrl: .url}]' candidates.json)" \
  --wait-until-finished

A validated LinkedIn URL per contact, with unresolved rows marked explicitly.

Operations are asynchronous. --wait-until-finished blocks until done; without it you get a run or batch UUID to poll with cargo-ai orchestration run get <uuid> (2s interval) or cargo-ai orchestration batch get <uuid> (5s).

What it costs

Action	Credits
`linkedin.findProfileUrl`	0.25
`linkedin.enrichProfile`	0.25

Never run this across a full list on the first attempt. Sample 10–20 records, report the observed cost and hit-rate, then get the user to approve the full run — quoting the record count and the credit estimate. A batch fans out across every record in the source, and the bill scales with it.

Worth knowing

Step 2 is not optional. Unvalidated resolution runs ~50% accurate because of same-name collisions; validated it is ~80%.
Reject rather than guess — never write back a low-confidence URL.

Going further

This skill does one job. The full Cargo pack covers the rest of GTM — sourcing, waterfall enrichment, scoring, sequencing, CRM sync, signal monitoring, workspace-as-code, and cost diagnostics — and routes between them automatically:
