Want your LinkedIn connections in an Excel sheet?
Whether you’re planning a LinkedIn outreach campaign, updating your CRM, or just want a safe backup of your professional network—exporting your LinkedIn connections to Excel is a smart move. It gives you a clear, structured view of who’s in your network, where they work, and how to reach them. No more scrolling through your LinkedIn connections one by one. With a few clicks, you get a ready-to-use list that can power your outreach, help you segment contacts for follow-ups, or simply keep your records up to date. And the best part? You can do it all in under 5 minutes.
Can you export your LinkedIn connections?
Yes, absolutely. LinkedIn allows you to export your connection data (names, emails, job titles, companies, etc.) straight from your account. You’ll get it as a downloadable .CSV file—which opens perfectly in Excel or Google Sheets.
How to Get a List of Your LinkedIn Connections
- Go to LinkedIn.com and log in to your account.
- Click on “Me” at the top (your profile icon), then select “Settings & Privacy.”
- In the left sidebar, click on “Data privacy.”
- Select “Get a copy of your data.”
- You’ll find this under the “How LinkedIn uses your data” section.
- Choose “Connections” and click “Request archive.”
- Enter your LinkedIn password to confirm.
- Wait for an email from LinkedIn (usually takes a few minutes).
- Click the download link in the email or come back to the same screen to download the .CSV file.
💡 You’ll only get email addresses of those connections who have allowed visibility of their email ID in their settings.
When you export your LinkedIn connections, the Excel (.CSV) file will include the following columns:
- First Name: The first name of your connection as it appears on their LinkedIn profile. Helpful for personalizing your outreach messages.
- Last Name: The last name or surname—useful for sorting or filtering your list, especially if you’re working with large datasets.
- Email Address (if available): You’ll get this only if the connection has made their email visible to their network in their LinkedIn settings. Great for syncing with your CRM or launching email campaigns.
- Company: The current company your connection works at, as listed on their profile. Ideal for segmentation—say, if you’re targeting specific industries or organizations.
- Position/Job Title: Their role or designation. This lets you identify decision-makers, influencers, or specific personas for your outreach campaigns.
- Connection Date: The date you first connected with them on LinkedIn. It’s useful for identifying new vs. older connections—and tailoring your follow-ups accordingly.
With just this one export, you’ve got everything you need to create a structured outreach sheet, segment by company or title, and start building warm, personalized campaigns.
