How to Import Leads from LinkedIn Search?

You can easily import leads into Outboundry directly from LinkedIn’s standard search results using a Free or Premium LinkedIn account.

This method allows you to build highly targeted outreach campaigns without manually copying profile URLs.

🔎 Step 1: Perform a LinkedIn Search

1. Go to LinkedIn.com

2. Use the search bar to enter your target keyword (e.g., “Marketing Manager”, “Founder”, “HR Director”)

3. Click the People filter

4. Refine your results using filters such as:

   • Location

   • Current company

   • Industry

   • Connections (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

   • Language

💡 The more refined your search, the better your campaign targeting and reply rate.

📋 Step 2: Copy the Search URL

Once your search filters are applied:

1. Copy the full URL from your browser’s address bar

2. Ensure the URL reflects the filtered results

Example:

https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=founder&location=...

🚀 Step 3: Import Leads into Outboundry

1. Go to your desired Campaign in Outboundry

2. Navigate to the Leads tab

3. Click Import Leads

4. Select LinkedIn Search

5. Paste the copied LinkedIn search URL

6. Choose how many leads you want to import

7. Click Start Import

Outboundry will begin fetching leads from your LinkedIn search results.

📊 What Information Gets Imported?

For each lead, Outboundry imports:

• First Name

• Last Name

• LinkedIn Profile URL

• Job Title

• Company Name

• Location

• Headline

You can later enrich these leads with email finder (if enabled) to run multi-channel campaigns.

⚙️ Important Notes

• LinkedIn may limit how many profiles can be accessed per day

• Very large searches should be imported in batches

• Only publicly visible search results accessible to your account can be imported

• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree connections can be imported depending on your search filters

🔁 Can I Import More Leads Later?

Yes. You can import additional leads into the same campaign anytime by repeating the process.

🎯 Best Practices for Better Results

• Use specific job titles instead of broad keywords

• Filter by location and industry for better targeting

• Avoid importing thousands of leads at once

• Use multi-channel campaigns (LinkedIn + Email) for higher reply rates

✅ Summary

With LinkedIn Free or Premium accounts, you can import filtered search results directly into Outboundry campaigns and start outreach immediately — no manual copy-pasting required.
