Managing existing connections

This page describes how to create workflows for retrieving and removing people from your existing LinkedIn connections.

Retrieving connections

To retrieve your connections, you need to include st.retrieveConnections action in your workflow. Here's an example:

Workflow:


{
  "actionType": "st.retrieveConnections",
  "filter": {
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "position": "CEO",
    "locations": ["New York", "San Francisco", "London"],
    "industries": ["Software Development", "Professional Services"],
    "currentCompanies": ["Tech Solutions", "Innovatech"],
    "previousCompanies": ["FutureCorp"],
    "schools": ["Harvard University", "MIT"]
  }
}

Completion:


{
  "actionType": "st.retrieveConnections",
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "publicUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe",
      "headline": "Founder & CEO at Example Company",
      "location": "Lisbon, Portugal"
    },
    {
      "name": "Jane Smith",
      "publicUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/janesmith",
      "headline": "CEO at Tech Solutions",
      "location": "San Francisco Bay Area"
    },
    {
      "name": "Carlos Santos",
      "publicUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlossantos",
      "headline": "Project Manager at Startup Hub",
      "location": "Madrid"
    }
  ]
}
💡
If you want to perform actions on the retrieved connections, use st.doForPeople action.

Removing connection

To remove a person from your connections, use st.removeConnection action in your workflow. Here's an example:

Workflow:


{
  "actionType": "st.removeConnection",
  "personUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/person1"
}

Completion:


{
  "actionType": "st.removeConnection",
  "success": true
}
💡
If you need to remove several people from your connections, use this action multiple times within an array workflow. This approach is significantly faster than creating separate workflows for each person due to API optimizations.
This page provides examples of workflows and their completions. For detailed documentation on constraints, parameters, and possible results of specific actions, always refer to the corresponding action documentation pages.
