From LinkedIn, it is now possible to add and edit CRM records (company and contact).


Installing the BoondManager extension for LinkedIn

From Chrome: I invite you to go to Chrome Web Store to add the Boond extension to your browser.

Then remember to allow the gadget to run even in private browsing if you wish.

Create or update a company

Create a company

Here are the very simple steps to follow:

  1. Establish the connection with Boond

  2. Select the company to import

  3. Click on the Boond link

  4. Check the pre-filled information

  5. Create in Boond

Here are some animations describing the different situations:

If you do not have a BoondManager session open in your browser, the gadget will first prompt you to log in:

Once on a LinkedIn profile, the gadget allows you to create the company from the information available on the page.

Update a company's information

When you are on a company record, the gadget will check and suggest an update if it detects a difference between the information in Boond and the information on LinkedIn.

You can select the information you want to update:

Create and update a contact

Two situations may arise:

The contact's company already exists in Boond

Here are the very simple steps to follow:

  1. Go to the contact

  2. Click on the Boond gadget

  3. Check and update the pre-filled information

  4. Create in Boond

The contact's company does not exist in Boond

In this case, BoondManager offers to create the contact and then create the company.

With two clicks, it's in Boond!

Update a contact

Just like for companies, if BoondManager detects a difference between the information entered in the tool and the information on LinkedIn, an update will be suggested.
