## How It Works

Every time you publish on LinkedIn, people quietly raise their hands by liking or commenting. This workflow turns that engagement into pipeline. A scheduled n8n run calls Phantombuster to pull the latest likers and commenters, enriches each person with a verified email and company data through Dropcontact, keeps Airtable as the source of truth, and finally pushes clean contact records into HubSpot while kicking off a Lemlist cold email sequence and a LinkedIn connection request.

### Setup Steps

1. **Create Phantoms**: In Phantombuster, set up the "LinkedIn Post Likers", "LinkedIn Post Commenters", and "LinkedIn Network Booster" phantoms and target the post you want to track.
2. **Connect Credentials in n8n**: Add Phantombuster, Dropcontact, Lemlist, HubSpot, and Airtable credentials inside n8n.
3. **Prepare an Airtable Base**: Create a Contacts table with fields for name, email, company, status, and LinkedIn URL.
4. **Configure a Lemlist Campaign**: Build the cold email sequence in Lemlist and copy its campaign ID into the Lemlist node.
5. **Schedule the Cron Node**: Choose how often to check for new engagement. The default runs hourly, which fits most posting cadences.
6. **Activate the Workflow**: Turn the workflow on in n8n so each tick checks for fresh likers and commenters.

### Automation Workflow

```
Cron (hourly) → Phantombuster Launch (Post Likers + Post Commenters)
    ↓
Phantombuster Get Output → Dropcontact Enrichment
    ↓
Airtable List → IF (contact already in Airtable?)
    ↓
Set Fields → Airtable Update  OR  Airtable Append
    ↓
Lemlist Add to Campaign → Phantombuster Launch (Network Booster)
    ↓
HubSpot Create or Update Contact
```

### Benefits

- **Zero manual exports**: Likers and commenters flow straight into HubSpot without CSV handoffs or copy-paste.
- **Enriched contact records**: Dropcontact appends a verified email, job title, gender, and legal company information before HubSpot sees the record.
- **Multi-touch outreach**: Lemlist delivers a personalized cold email sequence while the LinkedIn Network Booster sends a connection request from your profile.
- **Deduped against Airtable**: Existing contacts are updated in place and only new engagers are appended, which keeps HubSpot clean.

### Advanced Features

- Multi-phantom orchestration across Post Likers, Post Commenters, and Network Booster
- Conditional routing that updates existing Airtable records or appends new ones based on the IF node
- Chained enrichment and outreach across Phantombuster, Dropcontact, and Lemlist in a single scenario
- Hourly Cron trigger with phantom scheduling that respects LinkedIn rate limits
- Dual-destination writes with Airtable as the source of truth and HubSpot as the CRM of record

### Use Cases

- B2B founders turning LinkedIn thought-leadership posts into qualified pipeline
- Sales teams warming up engagers before SDR outreach
- Agencies running LinkedIn-first lead generation on behalf of clients
- RevOps teams keeping HubSpot in sync with social-channel engagement
- Solo operators who want to stop manually screenshotting post reactions after every launch

**Pro tip:** You can now get similar results directly with the [Phantombuster HubSpot integration](https://phantombuster.com/automations/hubspot/1386033999114383/hubspot-contact-sender?referral=fmc-f8VgvF4). It will however, consume a Phantom slot and might require you to upgrade to a higher plan
