Transfer contacts who last messaged you to your CRM system
1. Network export
To find out which of your LinkedIn contacts have responded to your messages, start with the network export. First, navigate to the network export feature, which you can find under "Add more features."
The idea is to copy all your LinkedIn contacts into CompLeadly. There is a limit of 2,500 contacts. If you have more contacts, there are alternative ways to import them into CompLeadly.Here
2. Use the campaign messages feature
The campaign messages feature in CompLeadly is normally used to send messages. In this case, however, we use it to check whether contacts have responded to your messages.
Select the target audience you previously created through the network export and set a start date. Enter the number of contacts you want to check in the relevant field. The text can simply be a full stop, as this step is only about scanning contacts, not sending messages.
This value must contain 999999 (six 9s) so that no one is contacted. Replies will also appear in the reply table.
Identify and save replies
The main goal is to identify which contacts have responded to your messages. By setting the last message to be from you, CompLeadly can check whether there has been a response from the contact. If the last message is not from you, the contact has replied. These contacts are then saved in a new target audience, which you can call "Test 2," for example.
3. Profile export and data transfer
Once you have identified the replies, move on to the profile export. Here, you can export all contacts who replied to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. The spreadsheet must be public so that CompLeadly can access it. This step is particularly important if you plan to use the data later with automation tools such as Zapier. The tools can then access the Google Sheets spreadsheet and transfer the data to your CRM system. If you have any questions or are unsure about anything, you can use the support button in CompLeadly to get help.
This process makes it easier to organise and analyse your LinkedIn contacts by automating the export, reply checks, and data transfer to other systems. This allows you to efficiently identify which contacts respond to your messages and use this information for your further sales strategies.
