How to find emails in LinkedIn profiles?

Regarding emails, they are a few solutions, however, they depend on your current relationship with the prospect, and on its profile settings:

  1. Extract emails of 1st-degree connections. LinkedIn profiles’ emails are in 90% of cases displayed to 1st-degree connections. You can see that for yourself by browsing the “Contact info” section of their profiles. For that reason, a big strategy when looking for email on LinkedIn is to first connect with your prospects, then scrape their emails. You can automate the LinkedIn connection process with our LinkedIn Connection Request automation.
  2. Extract 2nd-degree and more connections’ emails. In case you have too many prospects and connecting to all is not an option, we’ve got you covered: TexAu integrates with email enrichment services that’ll enrich them with verified email addresses. We can’t guarantee to find an email but depending on industries, the success rate reaches 80%+.

How to extract lists of LinkedIn Profiles URLs?

Before running the LinkedIn profile scraper, you’ll need some fuel: In other words, LinkedIn profile URLs of prospects in your target market. You could collect those profiles manually, but at TexAu we’re automation nerds, so here are 5 ways to collect relevant profiles easily:

  • Scrape the profiles off a LinkedIn search. Where better than extracting the profiles resulting from a great LinkedIn Search? Use LinkedIn Profiles Search Scraper to do this.
  • Scrape the visitors of your own LinkedIn profile. People visiting your profile are already 1-step down your funnel. They have seen your name and are therefore much more likely to consider what you have to say. Using the LinkedIn Visitors Extractor to collect all those profiles.
  • Scrape the profiles of people who have commented on your posts. Follow-up on conversations that you’ve started publically by talking with the commenters of your posts. LinkedIn Commenters Extractor will scrape that list. If it’s too short, consider also extracting people who’ve liked your LinkedIn post too.
  • Scrape the people you’re DMing. Extract the LinkedIn profile URLs off your own messages. Super useful to gather information with your close audience.
  • Extract members of LinkedIn groups. Your target audience is active in LinkedIn groups. These groups are perfect since they gather all the people interested in one specific topic. Find those perfect groups and extract members before you scrape their profiles.
  • Scrape profile URLs from LinkedIn course students. If you’re an educator and want to get in touch with those engaging with existing courses on LinkedIn, scrape the profile URLs of people having liked that course. Your ice-breaker can be as simple as “I noticed you like such course”, and the list can be extracted with LinkedIn Courses Likers Extractor.

There are several such automation that can help you scrape LinkedIn Profile URLs. Find more here.

FAQ

How do I add a new profile?

Why would I use Google Sheets?

When you want to export multiple targets without having to change the #2 field every time, you can use a Google spreadsheet URL instead.

To do this, simply put every target URLs you want to target in the first column of the sheet like so:

Then make your Google sheet public. Without it, TexAu won’t be able to access it.

How to schedule my automation to launch multiples times?

Automation is not always welcomed. To avoid being suspended, prefer making many small launches over one big launch.

How to download your results?

After you launch your automation, you’ll see TexAu performing its job in the log section. It will look something like that:

Once the launch is over, click “Download CSV” to download your data to a .CSV spreadsheet.

Best practices

If you have a standard LinkedIn account, we recommend scrapping up to 20 profiles per day. Going over this limit increases your chances of getting your account temporarily suspended.

For Sales Navigator and Premium users, you can increase this figure to 50 profiles per day.
