Key Takeaways
- Scrapes any Meetup group's members - Extracts name, bio, city, country, role, join date, and more
- Automatic pagination - Loops through pages using Meetup's GraphQL cursor pagination
- LinkedIn enrichment - AI searches for each member's LinkedIn profile using web search and LinkedIn connector
- Saves to Google Sheets - Writes enriched member data to your spreadsheet in real time
- You must be a group member - Uses your authenticated browser session to access the member list
What This Workflow Does
This workflow scrapes members from any Meetup group you belong to, enriches each member with a LinkedIn profile URL using AI, and saves everything to Google Sheets. You copy a GraphQL fetch() request from DevTools, and the workflow loops through all member pages, extracts profile data, finds LinkedIn matches, and writes each batch to your spreadsheet.
Use cases:
- Build a contact list from a professional Meetup community
- Find LinkedIn profiles for members of industry groups
- Research the audience of a competitor's Meetup group

FAQ
Q: Do I need to be a member of the group? A: Yes, you need to be a member to access the member list via the API.
Q: How many members can this export? A: The loop is configured for up to 50 pages. Meetup returns about 20 members per page.
Q: How does LinkedIn matching work? A: The AI node uses the member's name along with the Meetup group name and location to search for a matching LinkedIn profile. Match accuracy depends on how unique the name is.
