/v1/actions/salesnavigator-extract-employees-distribution/run/liveExtract Sales Navigator Employees Distribution breaks a company's workforce into structured buckets — by function, seniority, geography, and growth trend — and returns them as typed JSON you can feed into scoring, reporting, or targeting. You get the same view Sales Navigator shows in the insights panel, but as data your stack can actually query.
It runs on the Sales Navigator level and reads company insights through your connected Sales Navigator seat.
You pass a Sales Navigator company URL or ID. Edges signs the request with your authenticated Sales Navigator session, loads the company's insights payload, and maps each distribution bucket into a stable schema with counts and percentages. The action runs on Edges infrastructure with safe rate-limiting, so you do not need to manage cookies, retries, or pacing.
Because the output is structured per-bucket, you can diff runs over time to track how the shape of a company changes, not just its size. That makes this action the natural companion to raw headcount extraction when you want the "why" behind the number.
Reach for Extract Sales Navigator Employees Distribution when headcount alone is too coarse. Knowing that an account grew 12% is useful; knowing that the growth sits entirely inside Engineering while Sales shrank 4% is what triggers a different SDR play. This action plugs directly into the LinkedIn profile & company data API workflow.
It is especially effective for persona-specific GTM: if your ICP is RevOps leaders, a company with growing Operations headcount is a sharper signal than global growth.
One company per run. To process a list, loop the action over results from Extract Sales Navigator Accounts List or a saved search.
Your Sales Navigator seat. Edges executes every request through the session you connect, and all activity is attributable to that account.
Yes. Most teams pair it with Search Sales Navigator Company Employees to go from distribution to named people in the same flow.
