Dex seamlessly syncs with LinkedIn. Once you’ve connected your LinkedIn account:
  • 🔨LinkedIn Connections will be seamlessly added to Dex and kept up-to-date every 3-5 days. We’ll automatically update your contacts’ titles, pictures, and more continually.
  • 📧 You’ll receive notifications when your LinkedIn Connections’ titles change. When your connections start a new job, it’s the perfect opportunity to reach out!
  • 📝 Last Interaction is automatically updated with your latest LinkedIn conversation, allowing you to recall context, open relevant conversations with a click, and filter views based on the date of your last message for effective stay-in-touch reminders.

FAQ

Depending on the number of contacts being synced, this can take from an hour to 24 hours.
Re-triggering the sync by disconnecting and reconnecting it will help.
LinkedIn Sync has a limit of 8,000 contacts you can sync. These 8,000 contacts will be taken from the most recent connections. The ongoing sync allows new connections to sync with Dex every 3-5 days.
If you’re seeing a LinkedIn restriction error or hitting viewing limits, it’s not because of Dex (since Dex doesn’t view profiles for you). It’s likely because you’ve visited too many profiles.
When integrating with LinkedIn, we pull in all first-degree connections.
You can archive the contact and this won’t be included in the sync.
Deleting a contact that was imported via the LinkedIn sync may cause it to be re-imported during the next sync cycle. Instead of deleting the contact, please archive it to prevent it from reappearing.
