How to enrich contacts after Visit & Extract action via third-party email finder

Linked Helper allows extracting information from connections in your Linkedin. It refers to different kinds of data, including email and company name, and involves the scraping process. At the same time, the extraction of the emails of 2nd and 3rd-degree connections require additional efforts. One can use an integrated solution within Linked Helper, or use another platform to enrich the contacts and improve leads.

To do it with another platform, you will need to send the contacts via the Zapier webhook to the third-party tool and handle the enrichment process there. GetProspect email finder was chosen for enrichment due to its capacity and integrations.

To enrich your contacts on the other platform, you will have to:

  1. Create the extraction campaign or use your existing contacts
  2. Create a Zapier Webhook
  3. Perform Send person to webhook action within the Linkedin Helper Campaign.
  4. Set your Zap with GetProspect to create new contacts.
  5. Check new contacts at GetProspect and enrich them.

Create an extracting campaign or use existing contacts
