Use Athean in LinkedIn & Sales Navigator

The Athean Chrome extension puts contact context beside the people you find in LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. On Sales Navigator results, you can see available Athean contact details and activity before deciding who belongs in your next prospecting batch.

For example, review a people search for buyers at Acme Corp., check which results already have contact details or activity in Athean, and capture a few relevant people. Continue in Athean to confirm their accounts, import the contacts, and organize follow-up.

Choose the capture method that fits your work:

• Browsing individual people: use the extension on a LinkedIn profile or Sales Navigator lead page.
• Choosing people from the results in front of you: select contacts in the extension sidebar on a Sales Navigator people search or lead list.
• Bringing in a larger search or saved lead list: use Import from Sales Navigator URL in Athean.

Install the Athean Chrome extension and sign in to Athean in the same browser. Connect the LinkedIn account you intend to use, following Connect your tools. Your LinkedIn account needs access to the Sales Navigator search or lead list you want to use.

If the extension shows Link LinkedIn to Athean, confirm you are signed in to the intended LinkedIn account and select Connect. If it says You’re signed out of LinkedIn, sign in on LinkedIn and return to the panel.

The extension supports these prospecting pages:

For a standard LinkedIn search, open the person's profile to use the extension. Company pages and Sales Navigator account searches are not supported capture pages.

1. Open a Sales Navigator people search or lead list and let its results load.
2. Find the Athean sidebar along the page's right edge. If it is minimized, select the Athean logo tab halfway down that edge; hover over the tab to see Open Copilot.
3. Review the contact cards. Each shows the person's name, role, and company when available. Matched Athean contacts can also show email addresses, phone numbers, and a company link that opens the account in Athean.
4. Check the activity indicators. The envelope, phone, and meeting icons show available email, call, and meeting counts. Hover over an export indicator to see when that profile was exported.

Use the context to decide which people to capture or investigate further. Missing details or activity indicators mean those details are not available in the card; they do not establish that nobody on your team has contacted the person. An export timestamp records an earlier capture, not a completed CRM import.

1. Use the checkbox at the right of each contact card to choose particular people. On a people search, the square button beside Export All at the top of the sidebar selects or clears all loaded contacts; hover over it to see Select All or Deselect All.
2. Check the count on Export All in the sidebar header. If you selected people, the action captures that selection. With no selection, it captures all contacts currently loaded into the sidebar.
3. Select Export All and wait for the queued confirmation.
4. Select Finish Export in Athean to open the captured batch and continue its review.

Export All applies to the contacts loaded in the extension. It does not collect every page of a Sales Navigator search. Check the sidebar as more results load. To rescan the current page, select the circular-arrow button beside Export All; its hover label is Refresh contacts on this page. Refreshing clears your selection, so choose the intended people again afterward.

For a larger audience, copy the people-search or lead-list URL and follow Import from Sales Navigator URL. That workflow provides an import limit and runs in the background.

1. Open the person's ordinary LinkedIn profile or Sales Navigator lead page.
2. Open the Athean sidebar from the logo tab at the page's right edge and let the profile details load. Check that the card shows the person you intend to capture.
3. Select Import to Athean beneath the contact card when the action is available.
4. After Contact queued for import appears, select Finish Import in Athean.

The individual-profile action also opens the import-review workflow. Continue there to check the account match and resulting contact.

The extension's confirmation means the profiles were queued for review. Open the batch through its finish link or return to LinkedIn imports in Athean.

Follow Review account matches and import contacts to resolve missing account matches and import ready rows. Check the resulting contact records before adding them to a list or sequence.

For available phone and email enrichment, review matching and enrichment settings. For Salesforce, follow when contacts reach your CRM and check the CRM result separately. Capturing a profile does not by itself complete those later steps.

• The sidebar is hidden: select the Athean logo tab halfway down the page's right edge to reopen it. The extension remembers whether you left the panel open or minimized. See the Chrome extension guide if the extension is not available.
• You see a sign-in message: sign in to Athean, then select Re-check Login. If LinkedIn needs connecting, sign in to the intended LinkedIn account and complete Connect in the panel.
• “This page is not supported”: open a supported people search, lead list, or individual profile from the table above.
• “No data yet” or the results are outdated: let the Sales Navigator results load, then select the circular-arrow button in the sidebar header, labeled Refresh contacts on this page on hover. Wait for any active export to finish before refreshing, and reselect contacts afterward.
• “Could not extract profile data from this page”: check that you are on the person's profile and that the page has finished loading, then reload the page and reopen the panel.
• Fewer contacts were captured than expected: compare the sidebar count with your selection. The extension captures loaded contacts and skips search-result contacts without a job title. For a larger search or lead list, use the URL-import workflow.
• The profile was captured but no contact or CRM record appeared: open the batch in LinkedIn imports and finish its review. Check enrichment and CRM results after importing the reviewed contact.

If the issue continues, contact support with the page type, the action you tried, and the message shown.
