How to Import from Sales Navigator?

Option 1: Manual Import

Step 1. Add a LinkedIn account that has a Sales Navigator subscription. Go to LinkedIn → + LinkedIn. This guide on adding LinkedIn accounts might come in handy: https://help.quickmail.com/linkedin/adding-linkedin-accounts/.

Note: LinkedIn accounts showing a brown icon are supported for Sales Navigator. If the icon is blue, the account is not compatible.

Step 2. Go to Sales Navigator → search for the leads you would like to import → use filters to narrow down your search if needed → copy the URL.

Note: Recent Search links are not yet supported. The URL must start with https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people?query= from a fresh search.

Step 3. Go to List → + Add Leads → Import from Sales Navigator.

Step 4. Paste the URL copied from Sales Navigator → follow the on-screen instructions to set up the import.

What happens when I lose permission to my LinkedIn account?

When permission to access your LinkedIn account is lost, it will be highlighted in red and imports from Sales Navigator will no longer be possible. Click Re-authenticate to restore access.

Auto-Import continuously monitors your saved Sales Navigator search. When a new lead appears, it is automatically added to your list or campaign.

FAQs

Q: I tried importing via Sales Navigator and it keeps showing 0 leads found.

This is most often caused by the error "2FA Login challenge not found." This means LinkedIn is adding an extra security step — such as emailing you a login code or triggering a CAPTCHA — when you attempt to log in.

To resolve this, try the following:

1. Log out of your LinkedIn account in your browser and log back in to see if the security challenge is triggered.

2. If that does not work, try logging in through an incognito window to complete the login challenge.

3. If neither works, you will need to wait until LinkedIn stops sending those codes before you can reconnect the account to QuickMail. This cannot be bypassed since the code is sent to an address or system that QuickMail does not have access to.
