How to import prospects from a LinkedIn search into Kanbox?

Import up to 1,000 prospects from a LinkedIn search into Kanbox with the Chrome extension, while staying within LinkedIn’s limits.

Updated over a month ago

🔍 Start your LinkedIn search

  1. Go to LinkedIn

  2. Run a search from the main bar

  3. Click on the “People” tab

If the Kanbox Chrome extension is installed, you’ll see the Kanbox import module directly on the results page.


🚫 LinkedIn’s result limit: 1,000 profiles

LinkedIn only allows access to the first 1,000 results of any search — that’s 100 pages with 10 profiles each.
Kanbox will stop importing once this limit is reached.

🧠 Tip: Use filters to narrow your search and stay under 1,000 results to ensure a complete import.


⛔ Daily import limitations

Unlike Sales Navigator (up to 2,500 profiles/day), LinkedIn enforces stricter scraping limits — typically 100 profiles/day.
Kanbox reduces this to 80 profiles/day to protect your account, as LinkedIn’s limits can vary per user.

📌 If your list includes several hundred profiles, the import will run over multiple days, 80 profiles at a time.


🖱️ Start the import

  1. In the Kanbox module, enter a name for your list

  2. Click “Export list to Kanbox”


📂 Where to find your list

  1. Open Kanbox, go to the Leads section

  2. Your list will appear there automatically

  3. You can start other searches or close LinkedIn — Kanbox handles the import queue in the background

  • Click on the list name in Kanbox

  • You’ll see all imported profiles ready for filtering or campaign use
