2.1. LinkedIn & Sales Navigator

Open a LinkedIn profile you'd like to add to your folk CRM.

If the contact is not yet in your CRM, you'll see a button "Add to folk", just click on the button–and it will instantly retrieve the relevant data for this profile, such as:

  • For people: First name, Last name, Profile avatar, Company name, Company avatar, LinkedIn URL, Contact email (if public), Contact phone (if public), Job title, Description, Address

  • For companies: Name, Logo, URLs

If the contact is already in your CRM, you'll see a button "Open in folk", just click on the button -and it will instantly open the profile and enrich any new data (such as Avatar, Company name).

Before adding the contact to folk, you can select the relevant workspace at the top of the extension and the relevant group, where you want to add the contact.

Once the extension is opened on the right, easily edit any information directly from the extension:

  • Edit and fill in existing fields (like a status)

  • Add notes, or consult existing ones

  • Add reminders, or consult existing ones

  • Log an interaction, or consult exist ones

You can also add contacts in bulk from a targeted list. Just type keywords in LinkedIn Search (for instance "Head of sales") or apply filters in Sales Navigator, and save the whole list of people in your folk.

Click the "Add 10 people to folk" button at the top of the Search, or click the extension icon directly in your extension bar.

In LinkedIn, navigate page by page to add more contacts from the search results.

In Sales Navigator, you'll need to scroll down the page of results, to load all the contacts in the extension. You can add up to 25 contacts at once.
