search_linkedin_people
Search LinkedIn people. RECOMMENDED FOR PROSPECTING: set decisionMakers:true, provide company, departments and limit 20-30. Salesbot resolves the company, performs ONE company-scoped provider search (Sales Navigator also applies seniority), then ranks the returned senior employees locally by department. This is broader and safer than retrying exact titles. Use title/titles only when an exact role is required. EXISTING CONNECTIONS reads only the local cache and consumes zero search quota. The workspace setting selects Standard/Classic or Sales Navigator automatically. Respect retry_after; never immediately retry a protected or timed-out request. On LINKEDIN_PROVIDER_TIMEOUT use search_google_xray, then retry LinkedIn only after the stated delay.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results (default 10; capped automatically at 20 Classic or 30 Sales Navigator) | |
| title | No | Single job title to search for (e.g. 'CEO'). Use `titles` instead when you have a priority order. | |
| titles | No | Up to 3 ordered plain job titles. With explicit companyId each title is sent as top-level keywords with CURRENT COMPANY applied. A raw batch with no role-relevant headlines counts as a miss. Classic may return the third title in remaining_titles because its safety budget permits only 2 provider searches. Run later batches only after retry_after. | |
| company | No | Company NAME for diagnostics, resolution, and guarded keyword fallback (e.g. 'Doosan'). Keep this a string; the provider company array is constructed internally. | |
| network | No | Ignored for company-role searches. Existing-connections mode always applies 1st-degree internally. | |
| keywords | No | Free keyword phrase for existing-connections mode, e.g. 'fleet manager'. Requires connectionsOnly: true. | |
| location | No | Target geography. For Czech prospecting pass 'Czech Republic' or 'Czechia'; applied together with the company filter. | |
| companyId | No | Numeric LinkedIn company ID. Also provide `company`: in Sales Navigator mode Salesbot validates/re-resolves the ID against the Sales Navigator parameter directory before applying CURRENT COMPANY. | |
| locationId | No | Raw LinkedIn geography ID. Prefer location unless you already know the correct ID. | |
| departments | No | Business areas used to rank decision makers. Example: ['finance','operations','facility']. Used with decisionMakers:true. | |
| decisionMakers | No | Recommended company prospecting mode. Performs one company-scoped search for senior employees and ranks them locally; requires company. Do not combine with title/titles. | |
| connectionsOnly | No | When true, search the owner's synchronized 1st-degree connection cache locally. Requires keywords and performs zero LinkedIn searches. |
