Creating a CSV file in a proper format that the LinkedFusion Sequence can understand.
To create a CSV file you can any of the following tools, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Notepad, LibreOffice, and similar kind of tools. In this article, I'll be using Google Sheet to create a CSV file.
If you want to follow along, then open Google Sheets and create a blank spreadsheet.
Populate your spreadsheet with the LinkedIn Profile URLs, and unlike any other CSV file don't put a heading on the top of the column.
NOTE: Make sure that the LinkedIn Profile URLs that you add to your Spreadsheet is in the following format:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxOnce your spreadsheet is ready with all the LinkedIn Profile URLs, Click on File -> Download -> And select Comma-separated values (.csv) option. This will convert your spreadsheet to a CSV Format file.
Not without making any further modifications to the file, you can upload this file to your LinkedFusion Sequence.
Troubleshooting the most common error that people make while setting up this Integration.
Listed below are the most common mistakes to people usually make while setting up their sequences with a CSV file.
The uploaded CSV file will not work if it has a column heading. Simply removing the heading from the top, will fix the problem.
The LinkedIn profile URLs added to the CSV file are not properly formatted.
Correct LinkedIn URL format:https://www.linkedin.com/in/xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxIf the CSV file has more than 1 column.
The CSV file should only have 1 column which should contain only LinkedIn profile URLs.
