With over 756 million users and 57 million businesses, LinkedIn promises to be the most powerful platform for prospecting and research.
And as a Pipedrive user, you are working with one of the most robust CRM tools on the market.
In this article, you will discover how to automate LinkedIn activities and supercharge your sales process.
LinkedIn is a go-to tool of every respectable sales rep. We use LinkedIn for identifying sales opportunities (prospecting), research people and companies to tailor our products and services, and of course for outreach. We also use AI prospecting tools to find more leads.
LinkedIn to a sales rep is what a sword is to a Viking 🗡 or Figma to a designer. Let’s take a look at making LinkedIn and Pipedrive work together. Seamlessly.

You need volume to meet your sales goals. But if you don’t follow up, what’s the point of outreach?
The first touchpoint on LinkedIn (or anywhere else for that matter) is just 1/5th of the lead’s potential.
Tracking your outreach opportunities and follow-ups are the key! So when you are manually prospecting on LinkedIn, you should log opportunities to your CRM. You can copy-paste data from LinkedIn to CRM the old-school way. Or you can automate this process with a click of a button.
Try these automations:
The automations above are the best for sniper salespeople. Meticulous and hyper-targeted.
But if you like going full Rambo at prospecting with the machine-gun approach, there is an automation for that too.
Navigate to LinkedIn search and set your search query. When ready, let’s extract a list of LinkedIn profile pages.

One of the biggest challenges with every CRM is syncing communication across different channels. And to be entirely fair, it’s tough to do given that messengers don’t open up data.
As a result, we are stuck with incomplete CRM records OR manually copy-pasting information...
