ProspectBuddy

ProspectBuddy is the next-generation command center for human-centric LinkedIn prospecting, engineered to dismantle the archaic and inefficient workflows of manual data entry. It is a paradigm-shifting browser extension that seamlessly bridges the dynamic world of LinkedIn with the structured power of Airtable and Trello. Designed for the modern go-to-market professional—sales teams, recruiters, founders, and operators—it transforms the chaotic process of lead capture into a single, intelligent click. ProspectBuddy champions a revolutionary philosophy of "augmented manual prospecting," where you retain complete control and compliance, while AI-powered intelligence handles the heavy lifting. It captures and structures vital profile data, uncovers verified contact information, and generates hyper-personalized outreach, all without risky automation bots. This isn't just a tool; it's a strategic workflow evolution that eradicates errors, saves countless hours, and ensures your CRM becomes a source of truth, not a repository of chaos.

One-Click Lead Capture to CRM

Revolutionize your data flow with instantaneous, structured export from LinkedIn to your operational hub. With a single click, transform any LinkedIn profile into a perfectly formatted record in your connected Airtable base or Trello board. This feature completely obliterates the tedious, error-prone ritual of manual copy-pasting, ensuring data consistency, saving critical time, and allowing you to focus on strategy and human connection instead of administrative drudgery.

AI-Powered Outreach Message Generation

Leverage cutting-edge generative AI to craft compelling, personalized outreach messages in seconds. The system intelligently analyzes the captured LinkedIn profile data—such as job experience, skills, and about sections—to produce tailored opening lines and message drafts that resonate. This feature amplifies your human touch with algorithmic precision, dramatically increasing engagement rates while maintaining an authentic and personalized communication style.

Verified Contact Enrichment

Unlock direct lines of communication with advanced data enrichment capabilities. ProspectBuddy goes beyond public profile data to discover verified business email addresses and direct phone numbers (for B2B users). This transforms a simple profile save into a fully actionable lead record, empowering your team to execute multi-channel outreach strategies with confidence and accuracy, all while conserving credits only for successful finds.

Customizable Field Mapping & Selective Capture

Take command of your data schema with granular control over what information is captured and where it lands. This feature allows you to select only the specific LinkedIn fields relevant to your workflow—be it name, headline, skills, or job history—and map them precisely to corresponding fields in your Airtable table. This ensures your database remains clean, organized, and perfectly tailored to your team's unique operational processes and reporting needs.

Sales Team Pipeline Generation

Sales development representatives and account executives can systematically build a high-quality, enriched pipeline directly from LinkedIn. They can identify ideal customer profiles, capture their structured data and contact details into a shared Airtable base with one click, and immediately follow up with an AI-crafted personalized message. This creates a seamless, efficient, and scalable outbound engine that maximizes productivity and conversion potential.

Recruitment and Talent Sourcing Pipeline

Recruiters and hiring managers can streamline candidate sourcing by instantly saving promising LinkedIn profiles as structured cards in a Trello hiring pipeline. Each card contains the candidate's key details, skills, and experience, enabling easy sorting, collaboration, and progression tracking through stages like "Contacted," "Screened," and "Interview." This eliminates spreadsheet chaos and centralizes the entire talent acquisition workflow.

Founder and Operator Network Building

Founders, startup operators, and business developers expanding their professional network can use ProspectBuddy to meticulously manage connections. They can save potential partners, investors, or advisors to a dedicated Airtable base, enriching records with contact information and personal notes. This builds a powerful, organized, and actionable network database that fuels strategic relationship-building and partnership development over time.

Agency Lead Management and Client Reporting

Marketing and consulting agencies running lead generation campaigns for clients can ensure flawless data handoff. ProspectBuddy allows teams to capture leads from LinkedIn, enrich them with verified details, and populate a client-specific Airtable base in a consistent format. This provides clients with clean, immediately usable lead lists and enables transparent reporting on sourcing activities and lead quality.

Is ProspectBuddy safe to use with LinkedIn?

Absolutely. ProspectBuddy is architected from the ground up for safe, compliant, manual prospecting. It does not employ automation bots or perform any actions on your behalf. You remain in full control, manually initiating every profile parse and data save while working directly within your LinkedIn session. This human-in-the-loop model makes it a vastly safer and more sustainable alternative to bulk scraping tools or risky automation workflows that violate platform terms.

How do I connect my Airtable or Trello account?

Connection is a swift, one-click process designed for instant integration. Simply navigate to the Connect screen within the ProspectBuddy extension, select either "Airtable" or "Trello," and follow the prompts to grant secure access to your specific workspaces, bases, or boards. The connection status is then managed from your Profile page, and you can disconnect at any moment, giving you complete control over your data integrations.

What can I use credits for in ProspectBuddy?

Credits are your internal currency for premium enrichment actions within the ecosystem. Primarily, they are spent on performing verified email searches (10 credits per successful find) and revealing direct phone numbers for B2B profiles. Crucially, credits are only consumed when a valid email is successfully discovered, ensuring you pay only for tangible value and intelligence added to your lead records.

Why are some of my Airtable fields not appearing for mapping?

ProspectBuddy supports mapping to specific, compatible Airtable field types to ensure data integrity. Supported types include Attachment (for photos), URL, Text, Email, and Phone fields. If a field in your table is of an unsupported type (e.g., a checkbox, rating, or formula field), it will not appear in the mapping dropdown. To resolve this, ensure the target field in your Airtable base is created with one of the compatible data types listed.
