Saving leads from LinkedIn

Install the Find extension, open a LinkedIn profile, click + CRM. The lead lands in your dashboard.

TL;DR. Install the Find Chrome extension, open any LinkedIn profile or search result, click the floating "+ CRM" button. The lead lands in your dashboard under "New" and AI enrichment runs automatically in the background.

When to use this

Whenever you spot someone on LinkedIn worth tracking — a prospect, a future hire, someone who replied to a post, a referral. Save first, qualify later; that's the whole point of the CRM layer.

Step-by-step

  1. Make sure the Find extension is installed. If not, see Install the extensions.
  2. Open a LinkedIn profile (or hover a person card in a search result).
  3. Hover the floating "+ CRM" button in the bottom-right of the page. It expands to show a small form.
  4. Pick the pipeline stage (defaults to New) and optionally a temperature tag (cold / warm / hot). Hit Save.
  5. The lead lands in your Find dashboard within a second. AI enrichment (fit score, temperature, key insights) kicks off as a background job and is usually ready in 10–30 seconds.

Common questions

Why isn't the "+ CRM" button showing on a company page? Find only saves people, not companies. The button appears on individual profiles and on people-cards in search results — not on company landing pages.

Can I save someone I haven't connected with? Yes. Find scrapes the publicly-visible fields (name, title, company, photo, headline). Connection is unnecessary.

Does enrichment cost against my AI quota? Yes — each enrichment counts toward your monthly AI messages. See Understanding your usage for the accounting. The Pro and Team plans have unlimited enrichment.

What if the same person is saved twice? Find dedupes by LinkedIn profile URL. Saving the same profile again opens the existing lead's panel rather than creating a duplicate.
