    Here's a tutorial to help you set up the Sales Navigator Profile Scraper:

  2. How to use the LinkedIn Group Members to Emails

    PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Group Members to Emails Automation extracts LinkedIn group member profiles and finds their email addresses. This tutorial guides you through setup, extraction, and key settings for safe and efficient use.

    • Access and inputs: You must be a member of the group to view and extract the member list. Provide valid LinkedIn group URLs only.

    • Safety limits: Extract up to 40 profiles per day with a Basic account, or 75 with Sales Navigator. Halve these limits if email discovery is enabled.

    • LinkedIn constraints: LinkedIn only displays the most recent 2,500 members per group; older members cannot be accessed.

    • Email discovery: Enabling discovery consumes credits (or requires an API key) and increases processing time. Not all profiles will yield a verified email.

    • Free plan limits: CSV exports include only the first 10 rows, and JSON exports are unavailable.

    1. Verify access and gather inputs: Confirm you can see the members list for each target LinkedIn group (join private groups if needed) and collect the group URLs.

    2. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension to connect your LinkedIn session automatically, or manually provide your session cookie.

    3. Provide group URLs: Paste a single LinkedIn group URL, or provide a Google Sheet URL (shared with "Anyone with the link").

    4. Set extraction limits: Configure how many profiles to extract per day (default 40) and per group (default 2,500).

      This Workflow runs once per day and retrieves as many profiles as possible in that single launch. It cannot resume mid-group in the same day.

    5. Enable email discovery (optional): Select a discovery service to find emails using PhantomBuster credits or by connecting Dropcontact, Hunter, or Snov via API key.

    6. Adjust advanced settings (optional): Leave defaults unless you need to fine-tune execution limits, proxies, or webhooks.

    7. Launch and retrieve results: Turn on the Automation to start extraction, monitor progress in the Results tab, and export your data.

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

  3. Give the URLs of the Sales Navigator profiles you're interested in

    You have two options:

    1. Process a single profile
    Copy the Sales Navigator profile URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

    2. Process multiple profiles
    Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the Sales Navigator profile URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.

    Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.

    Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

  4. Specify the number of profiles to process per launch

    Choose how many profiles you want this automation to process each time it runs. This helps you control your usage and stay within platform limits.

  5. Enrich your leads with verified professional email addresses

    Turn LinkedIn profiles into full-fledged leads by enriching them with professional email addresses.

    How email discovery works:
    The service uses each profile’s full name and company name to search for a professional email address, verify it, and return the result.

    Choose your enrichment method:
    1. Use PhantomBuster credits
    Each PhantomBuster plan includes monthly email discovery credits:

    • 1 credit = 1 attempt to find and verify an email for 1 profile.

    • Credits reset monthly.

    2. Use your own third-party service
    Connect an external email discovery tool by entering your API key from one of these platforms:

    Take note: Not every profile will return a verified email address, but this step can dramatically increase your chances of landing in inboxes, not just InMail. It depends on the data available, so your number of emails found may be lower than your credits used.

    Tip: To reduce the risk of hitting platform rate limits when using email discovery, process about half of the default daily recommendation for your Phantom. For example, with the LinkedIn Profile Visitor Phantom, aim for 40 profiles per day instead of the default 80.

  6. How to use the Domain Name Finder

    PhantomBuster’s Domain Name Finder Automation uses public search engines to find a company’s main website domain. This short tutorial walks you through setting inputs, processing options, scheduling, and retrieving results.

    • Matching limitations:

      Returns one main domain (best match) per company. Country & Language settings guide search context but cannot strictly restrict results to specific TLDs (e.g., .fr).

    • Input requirements:

      Google Sheets must be public (anyone with the link); CSV URL input is available on paid plans only. No session cookies are required.

    • Performance & Safety:

      Processes ~14 domains per minute using 1 slot. Search engines may temporarily block shared IPs if requests are too frequent; if stopped, wait ~15 minutes or use a proxy.

    • Free plan limits:

      CSV exports include only the first 10 rows. JSON exports, dynamic CSV download links, and CSV uploads as inputs are unavailable.

    1. Provide the company names:

      Choose an input source (My Lists, manual names, a Google Sheet/CSV URL, or My Phantoms), then optionally set Country & Language to guide the search context.

    For spreadsheet/CSV inputs, the Phantom reads column A by default. To target a different column, specify its header name in the input settings.

    • Configure processing settings:

      Add any domains to ignore, set how many companies to process per launch for spreadsheet/CSV inputs, and optionally rename the results file.

    "Number of companies to process per launch" applies only to spreadsheet/CSV inputs (default 100). Renaming the results file between launches will create a new file and restart processing from scratch.

    • Select launch frequency:

      Run manually, schedule a one-time run, launch repeatedly, trigger it after another Phantom, or use Advanced scheduling for precise timing.

    • Optional: Adjust advanced settings:

      Keep defaults unless you need to fine-tune execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, webhooks, or file management.

    • Launch and retrieve results:

      Click Launch, then open the Results tab to view found domains and download or export your results.

    For full details and configuration options, see the tutorial on the help center.
