How to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator from your AI app

Can my AI app search Sales Navigator for me?

Yes, on your own seat. Describe the people you want in your own words: a title, a place, a company size, an industry. Your AI app turns that into a Sales Navigator search and shows you the people it found. It only reads, so nothing changes on your account.

• "Find heads of marketing at software companies in Berlin with 50 to 200 people, in my Sales Navigator."
• "Run my saved Sales Navigator search for founders and show me who is new since last week."

• search_linkedin_sales_navigator_peopleSearch people in Sales Navigator on your own seat, with each Sales Navigator filter as its own typed input.
• search_linkedin_sales_navigator_companiesSearch companies in Sales Navigator on your own seat, with each Sales Navigator filter as its own typed input.
• lookup_search_idsFind LinkedIn's id for a place, company, school, industry, job title and the like, by name.

Sales Navigator filters take LinkedIn's own ids, not names. Your AI app looks each id up first, so you never have to. The same goes for your saved and recent searches: name one and it runs it again.

Can I paste a search I already built?

Yes. Copy the address of a results page out of Sales Navigator and paste it. Your AI app runs that exact search and lists the people, ten at a time unless you ask for more, up to a hundred.

• "Run this Sales Navigator search and give me the first 50 people."

• search_linkedinRun a search from a results link copied out of LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter.

How do I save someone as a lead?

Point at a person in the results and say save. Your AI app saves that one person as a lead in your Sales Navigator, into a lead list if you name one. Each save counts toward a daily limit of 100 for leads saved and Recruiter candidates moved.

• "Save the first three people as leads in my list Q4 prospects."

• save_leadSave one person as a lead in your Sales Navigator.

Can it message people through Sales Navigator?

Yes. Ask your AI app to write to someone from the results, read what it drafts, and tell it to send. The message goes through Sales Navigator from your own seat. It is sent only when you say so.

• "Draft a short message to the second person about their new role, and show me before you send it."

• start_conversationStart a new conversation: an InMail, a message through Sales Navigator or Recruiter, a group, a company page, a job applicant.

To see how many InMail credits each account has left before you write, just ask. That only reads.

• get_inmail_creditsRead how many InMail credits each of your accounts has left.

What if I have more than one contract?

Ask which Sales Navigator contracts each of your accounts can use and which one is active. If you want another one, say so and your AI app makes it the active one.

• "Which Sales Navigator contracts can I use, and which one is active?"

• list_sales_navigator_contractsList the Sales Navigator contracts each of your accounts can use, and which is active.
• switch_sales_navigator_contractMake another Sales Navigator contract the active one on an account.

What if I have no Sales Navigator seat?

The searches above run on your own seat. Without one, the Agent plan can search people and companies and find the decision makers at one company through a shared seat. It shows what a search would cost in credits first, and pulls the people only after you agree. Plans are on the pricing section.

• search_people_sales_navigatorSearch people in Sales Navigator through a shared seat, by names of titles, places, industries and companies.
• find_decision_makersFind the people at one company by title, seniority and function, through a shared Sales Navigator seat.

Whichever you use, set it up once in the app you ask from: Claude, ChatGPT, Meta Muse, n8n, or the plain API.
