- How can I get my contacts from Gorilla into Linked In?
ANSWER
You will first need to export your data from Gorilla. Follow the steps in our article on How to Export Data from Gorilla to get this done. When you get to the point of choosing the fields to export, you will only need to export First Name 1, Last Name 1, and Email Address.
Now that you have an exported list from Gorilla you are ready to import them into LinkedIn.
- Go to LinkedIn and sign in.
- Click on the "Add Connections" button on the top right of the main window.
Click on "Import your desktop email contacts" link.
Select “Choose File” and browse to the file you just exported from Gorilla. Once chosen, select “Upload File”.
- LinkedIn will begin processing the list. Do not click on anything while it processes!
- When it finishes processing you will receive a list of any contacts that were found on LinkedIn. You can then go through and check the ones you would like to connect with.
- Once you have selected all the contacts you’d like and click on “Invite selected contacts”.
- LinkedIn will send out invites to everyone you had selected.
