Sales Navigator Inbox Scraper

How to use the Sales Navigator Inbox Scraper

PhantomBuster’s Sales Navigator Inbox Scraper Automation extracts messages from your Sales Navigator inbox, helping you organize and analyze conversation data. This quick guide shows you how to set up and run the Automation efficiently.

• Requirements: You need a connected Sales Navigator account and the PhantomBuster browser extension to auto-detect your session.

• Safety limits: Extract around 100 threads per launch and run up to 8 times per day to avoid session errors.

• Free plan limitations: CSV exports are limited to the first 10 rows, JSON exports are unavailable, and CSV upload is not supported.

• Slot usage: This Phantom uses 1 slot.

1. Connect your Sales Navigator account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension (Chrome or Firefox) to connect your session in one click, or manually retrieve your session cookie. Ensure your browser is up to date to prevent session expiration.

2. Select the inbox section to scrape: Open the dropdown menu and choose to extract all messages or a specific category such as Unread, Sent, or InMail.

   This Phantom only scrapes the Sales Navigator inbox; use the LinkedIn Inbox Scraper for standard LinkedIn messages.

3. Configure extraction filters: Set the number of threads to scrape per launch and optionally apply a cutoff date (MM-DD-YYYY) to limit the range.

   The "From" date filter applies primarily to InMails; combine it with a "before date" to define a specific range.

4. Configure result file and fields (optional): Name your results file and specify which data fields to include if you need a custom CSV output.

   Renaming the results file between launches creates a new file and restarts processing from scratch. Providing a field list generates a second CSV containing only those columns.

5. Advanced setup (optional): Enable "Use your second Sales Navigator team" if you belong to multiple teams; otherwise, leave advanced settings at their defaults.

6. Set launch frequency: Choose to run the Phantom manually, at a specific time, on a recurring schedule, or after another Phantom finishes.

7. Launch and retrieve results: Click Launch, monitor progress in the Results tab, and download your data as a CSV or JSON file.

   Results are not pushed to the LinkedIn Leads page; to manage leads there, use a Phantom that outputs profile data.
