FAQ
Can I get banned from LinkedIn using the extension?
You can't get banned or restricted using the extension. Here we are doing exactly what a human will do on the browser, just automating it, we’re not tapping in the LinkedIn API.
Can folk enrich the exported list from the extension?
When exporting your leads list from LinkedIn, there may be a small percentage of LinkedIn profile URLs that the extension cannot access and therefore they will not appear in the delivered list.
