Sales Navigator Import

Import prospects directly from LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches into Cleanlist. Paste a Sales Nav search URL and get up to 2,500 prospects auto-enriched with verified emails and phone numbers.

Prerequisites

• Active LinkedIn Sales Navigator account
• A saved search or search URL from Sales Navigator
• Sufficient Cleanlist credits (1 per email, 11 per full enrichment)

How to Import from the Portal

Step 1: Get Your Sales Navigator Search URL

1. Go to LinkedIn Sales Navigator (opens in a new tab)
2. Build your search with filters (title, company, geography, etc.)
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar

Step 2: Import into Cleanlist

1. Open the Cleanlist portal
2. Use the AI Search or navigate to a lead list
3. Paste your Sales Navigator URL
4. Set the number of prospects to fetch (25–2,500)
5. Choose enrichment type: Partial (email) or Full (email + phone)
6. Select or create a destination lead list
7. Click Import

Step 3: Monitor Progress

The import runs in the background:

• Prospects are fetched from Sales Navigator in batches of 25
• Each prospect is queued for enrichment through the waterfall system
• Real-time progress updates show in the portal via WebSocket

Step 4: Review Results

Once complete, your lead list contains:

• Full LinkedIn profile data (name, headline, location, experience, education)
• Verified email addresses with deliverability status
• Phone numbers (if full enrichment selected)
• Company data (name, domain, industry, employee count)

Tips

1. Start small — Test with 25-50 prospects to verify your search filters match expectations
2. Use narrow filters — Tighter Sales Nav filters = higher enrichment match rates
3. Partial first — Start with email-only enrichment, then selectively upgrade high-priority contacts to full
4. Check credits — Verify your balance before large imports (GET /api/v1/extension/credits)
5. Combine with ICP — Score imported leads against your ICP profiles to prioritize outreach
