LinkedIn Connections Export

Here's a tutorial to help you set up the LinkedIn Connections Export Phantom:

There are two ways to export your LinkedIn connections depending on your goals and limitations:

Option 1: Use PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Connections Export (recommended for small to medium exports)

This Phantom automatically extracts your connections from LinkedIn using your session cookie. You can also chain it with another Phantom (like the LinkedIn Profile Scraper) to enrich each profile.

Option 2: Download your LinkedIn archive manually (recommended for large lists)

You can request a full archive of your LinkedIn connections directly from LinkedIn and then upload the resulting file to a Google Sheet. This is often faster and bypasses automation limits.

How to download your connections from LinkedIn:

1. Go to your LinkedIn profile, click Me, and select Settings & Privacy.

2. Navigate to Data privacy > How LinkedIn uses your data.

3. Click Get a copy of your data.

4. Select Connections and click Request archive.

5. LinkedIn will email you a spreadsheet in 5–10 minutes.

You can then use this spreadsheet as input for any Phantom, such as the LinkedIn Profile Scraper.

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Event Inviter Automation helps you automatically invite your 1st-degree LinkedIn connections to your events. This tutorial covers how to set up and launch the Automation efficiently.

• Requirements: A connected LinkedIn account, a list of 1st-degree connections (not a single profile URL), and an active LinkedIn Event where you are an admin.

• Safety limits: The workflow will not send more than 100 invitations per day; for account safety, spread actions across weekday working hours.

• Input preparation: Google Sheets must be shared as "Anyone with the link" and CSV inputs must be publicly accessible.

• Free plan limits: CSV upload as input is not supported; exports include only the first 10 rows and lack download links or JSON options.

• Execution footprint: This Automation uses 1 Phantom slot.

1. Choose which connections to invite: Provide a list of 1st-degree connections using a saved LinkedIn Leads List, a Google Sheet, or a CSV file. Ensure you use LinkedIn profile URLs for best accuracy rather than names.

2. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension to connect your LinkedIn session in one click, or manually retrieve your session cookie if not using Chrome or Firefox.

   Browser maintenance: Keep Chrome or Firefox updated; outdated browsers can cause cookies to expire quickly and require frequent reconnection.

3. Provide your event URL: Paste the LinkedIn Event URL into the Event URL field.

4. Configure behavior: Set the number of profiles to invite per day (leaving this blank defaults to the maximum of 100) and choose whether to send invitations during weekday working hours or randomly.

   Scheduling limitation: Only two timing options are available—weekdays during working hours or randomly; custom schedules are not supported.

5. Optional: Adjust advanced settings: Fine-tune advanced options like execution limits, retries, notifications, and proxies, though defaults are optimized for most users.

6. Launch and monitor results: Toggle the ON/OFF switch to start the Automation and track progress in the Leads and Report tabs.

   Troubleshooting: Some errors may not appear in the dashboard; check the Logs from the workflow’s console page for full details.

For more details, see the full tutorial on the help center.

In the "Behavior" step, you can select the order in which you would like to extract the profiles from your connections list:

1. Recently added

2. First name

3. Last name

To continually extract new connections as they are added, select the "Recently added" option and set up repeated launches. This way, with each launch the new profiles that have appeared since the last launch will be extracted and added to your already-extracted connections.

Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!

This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.

For more automatic launch options, click on the three little dots in the top right and "Show advanced settings."
