Export from a profiles list.
If you want to export all the available information about contacts' organizations from one of your Linked Helper 2 lists, then you can get their companies' URLs by simply adding profiles into the Queue of Organization extractor action.
Please, note that this can be done only if profiles were visited by Linked Helper. This works as follows: when Linked Helper visits a profile page, it scrapes all available information from the page, including a LinkedIn company URL if available. If profiles were collected, but not visited, then no company URL will be scrapped.
- First, you need to add contacts from one of your lists to the Queue of Organizations extractor function. Click on the Add button in the left Linked Helper 2 menu:
- Select the Lists (1) option, choose the needed campaign (2), and sub-list (3) of desired contacts. Click Add from selected:
- Confirm the converting process by clicking Yes:
- See the results in the Queue list:
Note: numbers for contacts and organizations can be different because contacts may have the same organization mentioned as a place of work and Linked Helper 2 doesn't collect duplicates within one campaign.
3. Review action settings and collected organizations.
You can check the collected organizations in the Queue list. There you can exclude some organizations if you for some reason do not want to extract information about them - How to exclude contacts from a campaign in LH 2?
