Find Profile turns a LinkedIn profile URL into structured profile data through Enrich Layer. It runs on your own Enrich Layer account.
Before you start
Account: your own Enrich Layer account. Nothing is charged from your wallet. Connect it first (steps below).
Input: the row needs a LinkedIn profile URL.
Auto-run: check Auto-run at the top left of the toolbar before you run anything. See Run columns safely: Auto-run, test one row, then run the rest.
How do I connect Enrich Layer?
Open Settings, then Connections.
Click Create.
In the Connect an account window, find Enrich Layer in the list and click it.
Follow the steps that open for Enrich Layer.
Then open the column's settings: the Account block shows which account the column uses, with a Manage accounts link. See Connections: Loopster-provided accounts and your own.
How do I use Find Profile?
Click Add column, then Add enrichment.
Open the Enrich tab and search for Enrich Layer or Find Profile.
Choose Find Profile. It can also be listed as Person profile.
Map the input or inputs the panel shows: click an input, press
/and pick a column. See Map an enrichment's inputs.Click the arrow next to the main button and choose Add column without running.
Click the play button on one row, then double-click the cell to read the result.

How do I check it worked?

The details show the fields of the result. Hover a field and click Add to column to put it in its own column. See Put a result's fields into their own columns.
Troubleshooting
Quick answer
Auto-run is off, or the column was added without running.
A required input or setting has no value (the panel footer warns).
The cell says Error: open it and read the message. Then check the Enrich Layer connection under Settings, then Connections.
Nothing happens, or the cells stay empty
What you see: The column exists, but no row has run.
Why it happens: Auto-run is Off (the app says "New rows and values will not run on their own"), or you chose Add column without running.
What to do: Click a row's play button, or use the column header's Run column dialog. See Why didn't my column run?.
The footer says "Select a column for … before running"
What you see: A warning such as "Select a column for … before running." in the panel footer.
Why it happens: A required input or setting (marked with *) has no value. An input can be empty even when a suggestion names a column.
What to do: Click the input, press / and pick a column from the list. Do not close the list with Esc: a / or @ is then left in the field as plain text.
My cells say Skipped
What you see: Skipped in the cells.
Why it happens: Skipped means "Did not run because of filters or missing dependencies."
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Check that every input is mapped to a column, and look under Run Settings for Add run condition ("Only run if this formula resolves to true.").
My cells say Unsatisfied
What you see: Unsatisfied in the cells.
Why it happens: Unsatisfied means "Enrichment ran correctly, but output didn't match expected format."
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Check the input values in that row, and test one row before you re-run many. See What a cell's message means.
A cell says Error
What you see: The cell says Error, and the footer shows a count such as "1 cell failed".
Why it happens: Error means "Crashed, something went wrong." The message is in the cell it happened in.
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Then open Settings, then Connections, and check the Status of the Enrich Layer connection. Fix the cause before you re-run.
I am not sure which Enrich Layer account a column uses
What you see: You want to know which Enrich Layer account a column runs on.
Why it happens: Enrich Layer runs on your own account, and the column's Account block shows which account it uses.
What to do: Open the column's settings and look at the Account block. Its Manage accounts link is next to it. Settings, then Connections, lists every account the workspace can run on. If Enrich Layer is not there, click Create and find Enrich Layer in the list.
The result did not change after I edited an input
What you see: A finished cell keeps its old result after you change an input.
Why it happens: With Auto-run on, Keep existing results is ticked: "Only errored, empty and new cells run. A completed answer is left alone even when one of its inputs changes."
What to do: Double-click the cell and click Re-run this cell, or click the play button on the column header and choose Overwrite all N rows in the Run column dialog. Read the line under each option first.
What does it cost?
Enrich Layer runs on your own account. Nothing is charged from your wallet. See Your wallet and keeping spend under control.
Good to know
Find Profile is the only Enrich Layer action in Loopster. It is in the Enrich tab.
It is not marked as eligible for a waterfall step.
It does not create rows in your table.
It does not write outside Loopster.
Other providers show some of the same names (Person profile). The panel's ACTION line reads Provider › Action, so check the provider name before you add one.
