LinkedIn Search to Emails

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Search to Emails Automation extracts LinkedIn profiles from people search results and can enrich them with professional emails. This tutorial guides you through setup, input options, and retrieving results.

• Input requirements: Works only with standard LinkedIn people search URLs. Google Sheets must be shared with "Anyone with the link"; CSV upload is available only on paid plans.

• Safety limits: Scrape up to 40 profiles per day (75 with Sales Navigator). Halve this limit if email discovery is enabled to reduce detection risk.

• Search visibility: LinkedIn displays a maximum of 1,000 results (2,500 with Sales Navigator). Split queries to capture more leads.

• Email discovery: 1 credit equals 1 search attempt. Match rates depend on available data and are not guaranteed.

• Free plan limits: Exports include only the first 10 rows; dynamic/JSON exports and CSV inputs are not supported.

• Account usage: This Automation runs on a fixed schedule and uses 2 slots in your PhantomBuster account.

1. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension and link your LinkedIn session in one click. If you’re not on Chrome or Firefox, follow the manual cookie guide.

   Keep Chrome or Firefox updated to prevent session cookies from expiring quickly.

2. Add LinkedIn people search URLs and set extraction limits: Input targets by pasting a search URL, linking a public Google Sheet, or uploading a CSV. Adjust the number of results or daily profile scraping limits as needed.

3. Enrich leads with professional emails (optional): Choose an email discovery service—use PhantomBuster credits or connect a third-party provider by API key.

   Enabling email discovery increases execution time per launch due to additional processing.

4. Adjust advanced settings (optional): Fine-tune execution behavior, notifications, or integrations in Advanced settings. Defaults suit most users.

5. Launch and retrieve results: Start the Automation with the ON/OFF switch, then review and download results from the Results tab as CSV or JSON, or view them as a dynamic list.

   If the Automation stops or behaves unexpectedly, check the Logs section in the workflow console for errors.
