Connect Folk
On this page
Connect Folk to have a Ghost watch the LinkedIn posts of the people in a Folk group and log each Find on the person as a note or an interaction. PitchGhost reads the group and writes to people already in it. It never creates people in Folk.
Connect Folk
Folk connects with an API key, not a sign-in screen. Admins and owners connect it, on an active plan. A company connects one Folk workspace at a time.
- In Folk, open Settings, then Features, then API, and create an API key.
- In PitchGhost, open Settings then Integrations and click Add on the Folk card.
- Paste the key into Folk API key and enter your Workspace name.
- Click Connect Folk.
PitchGhost checks the key with Folk and stores it encrypted.
Sync a group to a Ghost
The group feeds a LinkedIn user monitor Ghost through Smart Sync . The Ghost reads the group again each time it scans.
- Create or edit a LinkedIn user monitor Ghost.
- Under Users to monitor, click Smart Sync and choose Folk.
- Under Folk Group, pick a group. It must be a People group.
- Under LinkedIn profile URL field, pick the text field that holds LinkedIn URLs.
- Choose whether to turn on Enrich LinkedIn Profiles.
- Under Action on Find, choose a note, an interaction or Do nothing. For a note, set Note Visibility to public for the whole team or private for only you.
- Click Link, then save the Ghost.
People need a first name, last name and company name, or a LinkedIn profile URL. The dialog shows the list requirements, including how many contacts sync.
What PitchGhost writes to Folk
After each scan, PitchGhost adds a note or an interaction to the person for every new Find. With Enrich LinkedIn Profiles on, it also saves the LinkedIn profile URL it found to the field you picked. It changes nothing else.
A Find is logged only when the post’s author matches a person in the group.
Change the key or remove Folk
To use a different key or workspace, remove the integration and connect it again.
To remove Folk, click Settings on the card, then Remove integration, then Remove. This removes Folk for every Ghost that syncs with it, and it cannot be undone. You can also delete the API key in Folk.
