LinkedIn Search and LI Prospect Finder find emails as part of the search.

Search by URL, Sales Navigator or filters, with <strong>Save without emails<\/strong> turned on in LinkedIn Search or LI Prospect Finder. Profile links (file import) always find emails, so use them for email or multichannel campaigns. On a LinkedIn Automation subscription, this is free: saving prospects without emails doesn't use credits, and reaching them with LinkedIn actions doesn't use recipients. If you later add email steps, the subscription includes 50 credits and 100 recipients for finding emails and sending email follow-ups.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"search-methods\"><strong>Search methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"search-url\"><strong>By LinkedIn search URL<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/finder-tools\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finder tab<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and choose <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/linkedin\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn Search<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click <\/span><b>Add from the search results<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab to look for prospects by LinkedIn URL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the LinkedIn account that Snov.io will use to gather leads from search results.
