⚡ Important Notes & Best Practices


✔ Search Size & Pagination

Outboundry automatically scrolls through multiple pages of Recruiter results and imports leads safely.

Tip: Narrow down filters to improve targeting and reduce unnecessary imports.



✔ LinkedIn Safety Limits

LinkedIn enforces usage limits. Large imports may take time and are processed gradually to maintain account safety.



✔ Duplicate Handling

Outboundry automatically prevents duplicate leads across campaigns and workspaces.



✔ Supported Account Types

This import method supports:

  • ✅ LinkedIn Recruiter

  • ✅ LinkedIn Recruiter Lite

If you're using standard LinkedIn or Sales Navigator, use the respective import options.
