Importing LinkedIn Contacts to Zentact

I just imported my LinkedIn contacts. It took me less than 5 minutes and I had to find the export instructions from LinkedIn.

To make it even faster for you, here are the complete instructions for Firefox on WindowsXP.

  1. Log into your LinkedIn account and click on ‘Contacts’ found in the left hand navigation.
  2. Click on ‘Export Connections’ found at the bottom of that page.
  3. Make sure that ‘Microsoft Outlook (.csv File)’ is selected from the drop down menu
  4. Enter the text you see in the Security image.
  5. Click on ‘Export’.
  6. In the pop up window select ‘Save to Disk’ then click on ‘Ok’.
  7. Log into your Zentact account.
  8. Click on ‘Import Contacts’.
  9. Click on ‘CSV Import’.
  10. Using ‘Browse’, choose the file named ‘linkedin_connections_export_microsoft_outlook’. You should find it in your default downloaded files location.
  11. Click on ‘Import’.

That is it. Visit the LinkedIn Export Page. All of your contacts will be automatically tagged with their name.

Good luck!
