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:

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

Create an extracting campaign or use existing contacts

Prepare a new campaign for 2nd and 3rd-degree connections. To do so, go to the Campaign menu of Linked Helper and pick Create New Campaign.
In the new window, name your campaign (1), pick the People type of a campaign(2), and select the Template called Visit & Extract (3) to Create (4) the campaign.

Note: The enrichment requires the extraction action and creation of the Webhook. Creating your campaign is the first step. At the same time, your campaign should have a connection to the other platform via webhook. Thus, creating a Zap connection is the subsequent step. If you have no zap connection yet, develop it first and then continue the campaign.

Create Zapier Webhook

To add the contacts to another platform, you will need to create a webhook. It contemplates that every time the connection is extracted, it will appear in the list of the other platform.

To do so, create an account on http://zapier.com.
After the login is completed, click Make a Zap, as indicated in the guide “Create a webhook in Zapier" to generate a custom Zap link. ## ## Perform "Send to Webhook" action within the Linked Helper Campaign
As soon you have created a Zap Link, as mentioned in the part of the guide, copy it from Zapier and perform the Send person to webhook action. For this, you will have to add a new action to the campaign.
