LinkedIn groups are a great place to find new, targeted prospects. With this Flow, you can automatically extract their emails.
How to export emails from a LinkedIn group?
How do you find the mail addresses of LinkedIn group members? You can automate this.
Set up the LinkedIn Group Members to Emails Flow from PhantomBuster and:
- Export target profiles from LinkedIn groups.
- Extract their professional email addresses.
- Add the full list of profile data to your sales automation CRM.
Here’s how it work;
Step 1: Open PhantomBuster
If you don’t have one already, create a free PhantomBuster account (no credit card details needed)!
Step 2: Select the Flow and connect to LinkedIn
Open the LinkedIn Group Members to Emails Flow. By entering a few details, this automation can take care of everything for you.
First, you must connect the Flow to LinkedIn by adding your session cookie.
To do this, download PhantomBuster’s browser extension in two clicks:
- Get it for Chrome
- Get it for Firefox
- Find it manually for another browser
Once you’ve downloaded the browser extension, you can open the Flow, click the Connect to LinkedIn button, and it will automatically add your session cookie.
Step 3: Share the URL(s) of the LinkedIn groups you’re interested in
If you are only interested in one LinkedIn group, you can search and copy the group URL and paste it into the Behavior section.
Remember, this PhantomBuster Flow functions only if you are a member of the group, so if you haven’t already, join the groups you want to process.
To process multiple groups:
Copy the LinkedIn URLs and paste them into a Google Sheet. Include one URL per row, all in column A. Make the sheet public so that PhantomBuster can process the information, and then copy/paste the URL into the Behavior section of the Flow.
Step 4: Specify how many LinkedIn profiles you want
In the Behavior section, you can also decide how many group member profiles you want PhantomBuster to scrape:
- Per group
The number of profiles you’d like to obtain from each LinkedIn group. LinkedIn only displays the most recent 2500 group members, so this is the maximum number of profiles you can obtain with PhantomBuster.
- Per day
The number of LinkedIn profiles you’d like to gather per day (100 maximum). If the Phantom does not get all the profiles from a search in a day, it will pick up where it left off the next day.
Step 5: Set up your email finder service
Email discovery services will use a profile’s name and business details to identify and verify their professional email address.
With PhantomBuster, your plan includes monthly email discovery credits (1 credit = 1 attempt at finding a profile’s email address).
If you already use another service, you can click the dropdown menu and add the API key for:
- Dropcontact
- Hunter.io
- Snov.io
Not every profile processed will deliver an email address, which means your email return rate may not always match your credit count.
Step 6: Set your notification settings and launch the Flow
Indicate when or if you would like to be notified regarding the automation (e.g. in case of success), save your settings, and then switch the toggle to turn on the Flow.
Once the Flow is complete, the list of results will appear below. From here, you can view, copy or download the CSV file or download a JSON version if you prefer.
How to make the most of this automation
With cold emailing, you need a valid, relevant reason to contact the person.
With this PhantomBuster Flow, the key is to select LinkedIn groups that match your target audience.
For example, suppose your company offers personalized SEO help and advice. In that case, you can be pretty sure that people in a group named ‘SEO beginners hacks’ will be receptive to your cold outreach message.
Then, once you have their trust and attention, send quality content that adds value and nurtures the relationship.
If we take our analogy a little further, you might send an email message with the top 10 SEO search tools of the year and a call to action for people to check out your services.
That way, you can already share value with your content and incentivize your leads to learn more.
Conclusion
Your LinkedIn Group Members to Emails Flow is up and running—leaving you time to focus on more important things! Once the data is neatly organized in a file or your sales automation CRM.
Remember to keep your outreach targeted and only send relevant content to your new prospects. Then, you’ll be well on your way to boost lead generation and happy customers.
