For many B2B businesses, LinkedIn is the go-to destination for discovering and nurturing leads. But manually copying and pasting every name, company, and job title becomes a time sink, and can sap your motivation too. Luckily, there’s an easier way.

Capsule users can collect lead data from profiles on LinkedIn, creating and enriching contacts in your CRM – all with the help of Magical’s nifty extension for Chrome. What is Magical? I’ll spell it out for you now…

What is Magical?

Magical facilitates data transfer between tens of thousands of apps and platforms, automating the mundane and repetitive tasks that can eat into your valuable time.

It works by locating relevant fields in target datasets to populate CRMs and spreadsheets, transfer contact details from your customer support platforms, and automate cold outreach messages.

While its “AI agent” helps customer support teams and recruiters alike, it’s a huge benefit to your sales team’s toolkit. Using Magical with LinkedIn can supercharge your sales efforts, helping your team build pipelines and enrich contact records in Capsule.

What does Magical transfer from LinkedIn?

Magical scans a LinkedIn profile page to find data points like:

  • First and last name
  • Job title
  • Employer/organization
  • Email address.

You can, also, modify the automation to pull in additional details to store in your Capsule custom fields.

What are the benefits of capturing LinkedIn profiles with Magical?

People proudly update their LinkedIn profiles with new job titles and promotions, so you know you’re more likely to find accurate lead information on LinkedIn. And using Magical’s automated data transfer tool has additional benefits:
