In the message field you get to be creative. By clicking on the “insert fields” button, add work email to the email field, first name to the first/full name field, and last name to the last name field. In step 5 you get to do some very basic field mapping to three fields. If both criteria are not met, then the invitation is not sent. Because email address and first name of the contact will be required, we will add both of those as AND filters. In step 4, we can add conditions that limit when a new business card transcription is used to send an invite. In steps 2 and 3 of creating the Zap you will simply authenticate your FullContact and LinkedIn accounts. Be sure to select “Send Invite” as the action for LinkedIn. The action, “…do this”, will be LinkedIn. The trigger, “when this happens…”, will be FullContact Card Reader. Creating this ZapĪgain, you’ll need to have FullContact Card Reader, a free Zapier account, and a LinkedIn account. If you are the type that needs to know how things work, or how to create a Zap like this from scratch, read on. Select Zapier and ensure that this new Zap shows up.
Now open FullContact Card Reader and go to Settings.
You can add this Zap template to your Zapier account by simply following this link:Ĭard Reader Integration to Connect on LinkedInĪfter setting up the Zap, ensure that it is turned on. To get going, all you need to have FullContact Card Reader, a free Zapier account, and a LinkedIn account. Upon transcription of a business card with Card Reader, an invitation to connect on LinkedIn is sent to the email address of your new contact. The third most requested feature on our forum was to add the ability to send a contact an invitation to connect on LinkedIn. So, we’ll get things started with a heavy hitter. We thought it would be fun to share a few Zap ideas that can be done with this integration.
Recently we announced our integration of FullContact Card Reader with Zapier. We will continue to attempt to work with LinkedIn – but until they are receptive to working with us, we unfortunately can no longer offer this functionality. We understand this is an inconvenience, and have attempted to work with LinkedIn to secure a partnership to continue this functionality – but the company has not been responsive to our requests. Because of this, we are no longer able to offer the ability to connect on LinkedIn. UPDATE: As of May 2015, LinkedIn has moved to shut out all but just a few developers from its social network.
