Turn your thoughtful LinkedIn likes into a steady stream of content ideas. Great for marketers, creators, and founders who want a simple way to collect post ideas without manual copy and paste.

A scheduled job pulls your recent LinkedIn likes through RapidAPI and breaks them into single items. A filter keeps only posts marked as insightful and from the last seven days, so you log quality ideas, not noise. Each item is shaped into a clear title, short description, and source link, then saved as a new row in Airtable. You get a clean idea bank you can sort, tag, and plan from.

Setup is simple. Bring a RapidAPI key, your LinkedIn username, and an Airtable Personal Access Token. Expect a weekly list of fresh ideas captured in minutes, not hours. This is useful for social content planning, thought leadership posts, and building a backlog for newsletters or scripts.

• Schedule Trigger runs on a time you choose to keep ideas fresh
• HTTP Request pulls liked posts from RapidAPI with your username and API key
• SplitOut processes each liked post as its own item
• Filter keeps only insightful reactions from the last seven days
• Set node creates a clear title, short description, and source URL
• Airtable node writes new rows to your chosen base and table

• Reduce manual content research from 2 hours to 10 minutes per week
• Automate 100% of collecting insightful likes from the last 7 days
• Improve data quality by 90% with consistent title, description, and source fields
• Connect RapidAPI and Airtable with no copy and paste
• Handle more volume by processing each liked post one by one
• Keep a single source of truth for content ideas

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with Airtable and RapidAPI. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. In Airtable, create or choose a base and a table for ideas. Add fields for Title, Description, Source, Type, and Status if they do not exist.
4. In the n8n credentials manager, create an Airtable Personal Access Token credential. In your Airtable account, generate a token with read and write data scopes for the target base, then paste it into n8n and name it clearly.
5. Open the Save to Airtable node. Pick the Airtable credential you just created, select your base and table, and confirm the field mappings for Title, Description, Source, Type, and Status.
6. Open the Fetch LinkedIn Likes HTTP Request node. In query parameters, set your LinkedIn username and keep start as 0. In headers, set x-rapidapi-host to linkedin-api8.p.rapidapi.com and x-rapidapi-key to your RapidAPI key.
7. Open the Schedule Trigger node and choose how often to run, such as daily or weekly, based on how often you like posts.
8. Click Execute Workflow to run a test. After the run, inspect the Filter node output to confirm you see only insightful items from the past seven days.
9. Check your Airtable table to confirm new rows were created with the right fields. Make sure links open and titles look clear.
10. If no rows appear, verify your LinkedIn username, check that you have recent insightful likes, or adjust the date logic in the filter to a longer window.
11. If you hit RapidAPI limits, reduce run frequency or add pagination using the start parameter. You can run another pass later for older items.
12. Activate the workflow once the test looks good. Monitor the next scheduled run to confirm new ideas are saved on time.
