LinkedIn Profile Lookalikes → Enriched Outreach List

Clay

Give it one LinkedIn URL of someone who already converted, and it builds a fresh list of people who look just like them. It enriches the source profile to read the persona (title, seniority, industry, company size), searches FullEnrich for matching profiles, extracts the best matches, then runs a final enrichment so every lookalike comes with a verified work email and mobile phone, ready for outreach.

Source LinkedIn URL

Read persona

Lookalike search

Best matches

Emails + phones

Source: Read the reference persona

Turns one LinkedIn URL into a clean set of persona attributes the lookalike search can match on.

1. Source LinkedIn URL (Text input)

Entry point. The LinkedIn profile URL of the person you want to clone.

  • Example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederic-mathieu

  • One URL per row. Use a converted prospect, a closed-won champion, or an ICP target

2. Enrich Source Profile (HTTP API POST)

Sends the LinkedIn URL to FullEnrich to pull the full source profile: title, seniority, industry, company and headcount.

  • Method: POST

  • Endpoint: https://app.fullenrich.com/api/v2/contact/enrich/bulk

  • Auto-run: ON when Source LinkedIn URL is not empty

Returns the structured profile used to build the search criteria.

3. Source Persona Formulas (Columns 3 to 7)

A group of formula columns that parse the source profile into the criteria the lookalike search needs:

  • Title → the source job title

  • Seniority → the source seniority level (VP, Director, Head, etc.)

  • Industry → the source company industry

  • Company Domain → the source company, excluded from results so you do not get the same person back

  • Headcount → the source company size band, used to keep matches at a comparable scale

Search: Find the lookalikes

Searches FullEnrich for people who match the source persona, then extracts the best matches.

4. FullEnrich Lookalike Search (HTTP API POST)

Searches FullEnrich's People Search API for profiles matching the source title, seniority and industry.

  • Method: POST

  • Endpoint: https://app.fullenrich.com/api/v2/people/search

POST https://app.fullenrich.com/api/v2/people/search
{
  "limit": 10,
  "current_position_titles": [
    { "value": "{{Title}}" }
  ],
  "current_position_seniority_level": [
    { "value": "{{Seniority}}" }
  ],
  "industries": [
    { "value": "{{Industry}}" }
  ]
}

Returns the top 10 matches ranked by relevance, all sharing the source role, seniority and industry but at other companies.

5. Lookalike Result Formulas (Columns 5 to 11)

A group of formula columns that parse each match from the search response into clean, usable fields:

  • Name → the lookalike's full name

  • Title → their current job title

  • Company → the company they work at

  • Domain → their company domain

  • LinkedIn → their LinkedIn profile URL

Each match becomes a row ready for enrichment.

Enrich: Final enrichment

Turns the lookalike list into an outreach-ready list with verified work emails and mobile phones.

6. Find Work Email (FullEnrich Native)

FullEnrich's native email-finding action, fed with each lookalike's identity:

  • Full Name{{Name}}

  • Company Domain{{Domain}}

  • LinkedIn URL{{LinkedIn}}

Returns verified emails with a confidence score.

7. Find Mobile Phone (FullEnrich Native)

FullEnrich's native phone-finding action, fed with the same identity. Returns a verified mobile number when available, so outreach is not limited to email.

8. Most Probable Email (Formula)

Extracts the highest-confidence email from the enrichment response for each lookalike.

  • Output: one clean, send-ready email per row

The workflow in action: the source profile is a VP Sales at a SaaS company that just closed → the persona reads VP, Sales, Software Development, ~200 employees → the search returns 10 VP Sales at comparable SaaS companies → enriched into a list of 10 prospects with verified emails and mobiles.

How to execute this workflow:

  1. Drop a LinkedIn URL into the Source LinkedIn URL column

  2. The source enrichment fires automatically and reads the profile

  3. The Source Persona formulas extract title, seniority, industry and size

  4. The FullEnrich Lookalike Search returns the top matches

  5. The Lookalike Result formulas turn matches into clean prospect rows

  6. Find Work Email and Find Mobile Phone enrich every row

  7. Filter on found emails and push the list to your CRM or outreach sequence

When to use this template:

  • Clone converted prospects into a fresh list of similar buyers

  • Expand a working ICP from one strong example profile

  • Post-event prospecting from a single great connection

  • Territory building when you know the persona but not the names

One good profile in, a full enriched lookalike list out. Re-run with a different source whenever you find a new winner.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Source profile is not indexed

The LinkedIn profile is not in FullEnrich's database. Fill the Title, Seniority and Industry columns manually and the search still runs from those attributes.

Search returns 0 lookalikes

Job titles vary across companies and regions. Try a close variation of the title (for example "VP Sales" alongside "Vice President of Sales", "Head of Revenue") and re-run.

Volume too low

The filters are too narrow. Broaden one criterion first, typically the title or the seniority, before relaxing the industry.

Industry filter rejected

Common terms like SaaS or fintech are not valid FullEnrich values. Use the closest official value (Software Development, Financial Services, Technology, Information and Internet).

The source person comes back in results

Make sure the Company Domain formula is populated so the source company is excluded from the search.

API returns 401
