LinkedIn allows you to download a CSV file with information about your 1st-degree connections. However, the file does not contain the profile's email and phone numbers. But as long as such information is available on your LinkedIn 1st-degree connection profile page, it can be scraped and extracted by Linked Helper 2.
At the same time, LinkedIn doesn't show emails of your 2nd or 3rd-degree connections. Using Linked Helper, you can extract emails of your 2nd and 3rd-degree connections either with a help of LH Email Finder (check this article - How to get emails of your 2nd and 3rd connections in LinkedIn) or with a help of Snov.io integration. It allows you to get job emails of profiles that are not your 1st connections in 3 simple steps:
- Create and adjust your extracting campaign
- Get Snov.io API keys
- Run the campaign and download the profiles when extraction finishes
Note: snov.io cannot extract every profile's email since sometimes there is no enough information provided (for example, LinkedIn shows only the first letter of surname, not all of them) or profile asked snov.io to hide his emails from others.
This ability can be at hand for those who works in the marketing industry and uses email as one of the marketing channels.
Create and adjust your extracting campaign
Using the "Visit & Extract" action you can extract emails of your 1st connections. But if you add your Snov.io API credentials in the action, you can also extract emails of 2nd/3rd connections. Here is what you need to do:
1. Create a new campaign from a template with predefined actions.
- Go to Campaign menu, open the list of campaign templates, choose "Visit & extract profiles" and click Create campaign...
A campaign consisting of only one action will be created, but you can adjust the workflow by adding extra actions if needed.
2. Collect the profiles into your campaign.
- Click "Collect" button near the campaign Queue.
- Choose a source from where to collect profiles
- Please, refer to this detailed instruction on how to do that: How to add profiles into the campaign?
- Once profiles were collected, you can review them if needed: How to manage profiles in Linked Helper?
3. Enable the "Extract emails from Snov.io" option in advanced settings
- Navigate to "Advanced settings" of the "Visit & Extract" action
- Enable "Extract emails from Snov.io for contacts out of my network" option:
Now you need to add your Snov.io credentials as per the next chapter.
Get Snov.io API keys
If you already have Snov.io account and logged in, please click on "Where can I find my Snov.io credentials" to get redirected to your Snov.io API credentials:
In case you are not logged in Snov.io or don't have an account yet, create an account or log in:
After that, please:
- Navigate to https://app.snov.io/account#/integrations/linked-helper to get to the page with your API credentials. You should see something like this:
- Copy and paste those credentials into Visit & Extract profiles action in Linked Helper. You can save emails in the Snov.io list as well:
Run the campaign and download the profiles when extraction finishes
In order to start the campaign, click the Start campaign button in the left menu or click the Start button at the top:
Once the campaign is started, you see that campaign status has changed and in the LinkedIn menu on the left Linked Helper shows you when the next step will be performed, as well as what that step is and what profile to be processed. The action that is currently being performed in the campaign will be marked with a green text above:
Profiles that were visited end up in the "Successful" sub-list of the campaign. To get a CSV with emails, please:
