Sales Navigator Import

TL;DR: Use the Cleanlist Chrome extension to import leads directly from LinkedIn Sales Navigator search results into your Cleanlist portal for waterfall enrichment.

Sales Navigator Import

Import prospects directly from LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches into Cleanlist.ai. 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.ai 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
📸

Screenshot needed: LinkedIn Sales Navigator search page with filters applied — showing the search URL in the browser bar highlighted, with some example results visible below.

Step 2: Import into Cleanlist.ai

  1. Open the Cleanlist.ai 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
📸

Screenshot needed: The Sales Navigator import interface in the Cleanlist.ai portal — showing the URL input field, result count selector (dropdown or slider showing 100-2500), enrichment type toggle, and list selector.

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
📸

Screenshot needed: The enrichment progress view after a Sales Nav import — showing a progress bar, counts (e.g., "127 of 500 enriched"), and maybe a few results already appearing in the list.

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
