If your leads live in a spreadsheet — a CSV export, a conference attendee list, a scraped set of names and companies — the slowest part of prospecting is usually the same: opening LinkedIn, searching each name one at a time, and hoping the right "John Smith" comes up first. That doesn't scale past a handful of rows.
LinkFinder AI resolves a full name and company straight to a LinkedIn profile URL, and there are two ways to run that against a Google Sheet: a one-time bulk pass through the dashboard for a list you already have, or a live workflow that watches the sheet and fills in the LinkedIn URL automatically every time a new row is added — no manual export/import round-trip at all.
One-time bulk enrichment via CSV
The fastest path for a list you already have sitting in a sheet — export it, run it through LinkFinder AI, and bring the results back.
Export your names and companies as a CSV
From your Google Sheet, go to File → Download → Comma Separated Values (.csv).
Open the LinkedIn URL Finder and upload the CSV
Go to linkfinderai.com, select LinkedIn URL Finder, and switch to "Upload CSV (bulk)."
Run the "Name + Company → LinkedIn URL" search
Pick the matching popular search — Find LinkedIn Profile URL: Name + Company → LinkedIn URL — then process the list.
Export the enriched results
Once processing finishes, click Export to download the same list with a LinkedIn URL column added.
Bring it back into Google Sheets
Back in Sheets, go to File → Import, upload the enriched CSV, and choose "Replace spreadsheet" (or import as a new sheet if you'd rather keep the original).
Fully automated: auto-fill on every new row
Instead of re-running a CSV export every time your sheet gets new leads, LinkFinder AI's built-in Workflows can watch the sheet directly and fill the LinkedIn URL in automatically. One-time setup, then it just runs.
Create a new workflow
From your LinkFinder AI dashboard, open Workflows and click "Create workflow."
Set the trigger to "On row added"
Connect the workflow to your Google Sheet and set it to fire whenever a new row is added — this is what makes it automatic instead of something you re-run by hand.
Add an HTTP Request node calling the LinkedIn URL endpoint
Add an HTTP Request step. Rather than building the request by hand, grab the ready-made example from the API docs — open API documentation → B2B Data Lookup → "Find a person's LinkedIn URL from their full name and company" and copy the cURL example, which already has type set to lead_full_name_to_linkedin_url.
Import the cURL example and add your API key
Paste the cURL command in with "Import cURL" so the request is pre-filled, then swap in your real API key.
Add "Update row in sheet" as the last step
Add a final action that writes the returned LinkedIn URL back into the same row it came from, then publish the workflow.
Test it: type a name into the sheet
With the workflow published, add a new row — name and company, e.g. "Bill Gates Microsoft" — and the LinkedIn URL fills in on its own, no manual step required.
