LinkedIn Activity Imports — My Network, My Conversations, and Post Engagement

How to import leads from your LinkedIn connections, conversation participants, and post engagements — what each import does, how it runs, and what to check if it gets stuck.

GetSales can automatically pull leads into your CRM from three types of LinkedIn activity: your connections, your conversations, and engagement on a specific post. All three appear as imports in the CRM, but they work differently behind the scenes.

This article covers where to find these imports, what each one does, what to expect while it runs, and how to troubleshoot when something looks stuck.

Where to find LinkedIn Activity imports

Go to Contacts → Imports (top navigation bar). The Imports page has four filter tabs across the top:

  • Basic Search — LinkedIn search-based imports.

  • Sales Navigator Search — Sales Navigator search-based imports.

  • LinkedIn Activity — the three import types covered in this article.

  • CSV — file-based imports.

Click LinkedIn Activity to see only these imports. The dropdown shows the three sub-types: My Network, My Conversations, and Post Engagement. Select one to create a new import of that type.

Import list columns

Once you have imports running, the table shows:

  • Import type — My Network, My Conversations, or Post Engagement.

  • List — the CRM list that imported leads are saved to.

  • StatusIn progress, Paused, Completed, or Failed.

  • Import Progress — how many leads were saved, plus any errors, duplicates, or blacklisted entries.

  • Creator & Date — who created the import and when.

Use the row menu (⋮) on the right for per-import actions.

Overview

Import type

What it imports

My Network

Your 1st-degree LinkedIn connections

My Conversations

Participants from your LinkedIn conversations

Post Engagement

People who reacted, commented, or reposted a specific LinkedIn post

My Network

Imports your LinkedIn connections as CRM leads. Each connection becomes a lead record with their name and LinkedIn profile linked.

One-time vs recurring

  • One-time: the import runs once, pulls all connections, and marks itself as completed.

  • Recurring: after finishing a pass, the import waits for the interval you specified and runs again — picking up any new connections that appeared since the last run.

My Conversations

Imports participants from your LinkedIn conversations as CRM leads. This includes both regular LinkedIn messages and Sales Navigator InMail conversations.

One-time vs recurring

Same as My Network — choose one-time or recurring with an interval.

Post Engagement

Imports people who interacted with a specific LinkedIn post — reactions, comments, and reposts — as CRM leads.

How it works

You provide the URL of the LinkedIn post, and optionally choose which types of engagement to import (likes, comments, reposts) and set a limit.

Accepted URLs

The post URL must be a standard LinkedIn post or feed URL — for example:

Limitations

  • Cannot be paused — once started, the import runs until it finishes or fails.

  • Cannot be edited — if you need to change the URL or engagement types, create a new import.

One-time vs recurring

Both modes are supported. Recurring is useful if you want to periodically re-check a viral post for new engagement.
