This automation extracts mutual connections from LinkedIn and saves them to Google Sheets, streamlining professional networking and contact management.
Discovering Mutual Connections on LinkedIn
Finding mutual connections on LinkedIn is a crucial step before you can think about saving them to Google Sheets. The process is relatively straightforward. Begin by logging into your LinkedIn account. Use the search bar at the top of your LinkedIn homepage to find the profile of the person whose connections you wish to see. Once on their profile, look for the 'Connections' section, which typically displays a number indicating how many connections they have. Clicking on this number will reveal their connections, provided you are a 1st-degree connection with them and they haven't opted to hide this information. Remember, LinkedIn allows users to control the visibility of their connections, so you might not always be able to see all the connections of a person.

For those you share mutual connections with, LinkedIn simplifies the process. These mutual connections are often listed directly on the user's profile, under the 'Mutual Connections' section. This feature is handy for quickly identifying how you are connected, which can be particularly useful for networking or when reaching out to new contacts.
Exporting Mutual Connections to Google Sheets
Once you've identified mutual connections, manually saving this data into Google Sheets involves a bit of effort. You would need to open Google Sheets, create a new spreadsheet, and manually input the data such as names, titles, and any other relevant information you wish to track about your mutual connections. This process can be time-consuming, especially if you have a significant number of connections to document.
