Sales Navigator import lets Team Admins create Audiences from supported Sales Navigator people searches or people lists.

Requirements

Before starting an import, confirm:
  • your Team has access to Sales Navigator import
  • you are a Team Admin
  • the selected user has an alive LinkedIn Connected Account with Sales Navigator access
  • the URL begins with https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people or https://www.linkedin.com/sales/lists/people
  • the requested amount is a whole number from 1 to 500 and does not exceed the selected account’s remaining daily availability
Normal LinkedIn profile URLs, Sales Navigator company searches, and Sales Navigator account lists are not supported.

Create An Import

From Audiences or Flow Plan source setup, choose Sales Navigator and provide:
  • Audience name
  • Sales Navigator people search or list URL
  • connected LinkedIn account to use
  • maximum number of prospects to import
  • optional AI context for messaging

Imported Data

Imported Audience rows can include available person and company identity from the Sales Navigator source. Some fields can remain missing and may require enrichment before outreach.

Statuses

Sales Navigator imports use these statuses:

Pause And Resume

Team Admins can manually pause an active import and resume a manually paused import. Contacts imported before the pause remain in the Audience. Waiting for the selected account’s daily Sales Navigator quota is not the same as a manual pause. FirstTouch shows the quota wait and reset time when available, then continues after daily capacity becomes available; there is no manual resume action for quota waiting.

Troubleshooting

If an import does not start or finish, check:
  • Sales Navigator URL format
  • connected LinkedIn account status
  • whether the account is alive and has Sales Navigator access
  • import size and daily limits
  • whether the source list or search still exists in Sales Navigator
  • visible error text on the Audience row
Sales Navigator import creates an Audience. It does not automatically guarantee outreach unless that Audience is attached to a valid Flow Plan and the enrollment mode allows prospects to start.
