Verified Email & Phone Discovery
Find accurate contact information at lightning speed. ProspectBuddy's powerful enrichment feature allows you to uncover verified business emails and direct phone numbers directly from a LinkedIn profile. This eliminates hours of guesswork and searching across different platforms, putting the most critical contact details directly into your structured record so you can start your outreach faster and with greater confidence.

This feature provides a powerful starting point that you can refine, helping you break the ice with relevance and personalization without sacrificing the speed of your prospecting cadence.
Customizable Field Mapping
Capture only the data you need, exactly where you need it. ProspectBuddy lets you select specific fields from a LinkedIn profile—like name, current role, skills, or about section—and map them directly to corresponding fields in your Airtable or Trello. This ensures your database contains clean, relevant, and consistently formatted information, making segmentation, reporting, and outreach hyper-efficient.
Use Cases of ProspectBuddy
Sales Teams Building Targeted Pipelines
Sales development representatives and account executives can rapidly build a qualified pipeline. They can visit a target company's LinkedIn page, click through relevant profiles, and with one click per profile, populate their Airtable sales pipeline with enriched, ready-to-contact leads. This speeds up list-building by over 10x, allowing more time for actual selling and outreach.
Recruiters Sourcing Candidates
Recruiters and talent acquisition specialists can streamline their candidate sourcing. While searching on LinkedIn, they can instantly save promising profiles to a Trello board configured as a hiring pipeline. Each candidate becomes a structured card with all key details attached, making it easy to track, evaluate, and move candidates through stages without messy spreadsheets or manual entry.
Founders & Operators Networking
Founders, startup operators, and business developers conducting partnership outreach or investor research can efficiently manage contacts. They can save profiles from networking events or research sessions directly to their Airtable CRM, ensuring no connection is lost. The AI message helper then assists in crafting personalized follow-ups, making scaling genuine connections much faster.
Agencies Managing Client Campaigns
Marketing and lead generation agencies running campaigns for multiple clients can maintain impeccable organization. They can use different Airtable bases or Trello boards for each client and use ProspectBuddy to swiftly capture leads from targeted LinkedIn searches. This ensures clean, separated data for each campaign and provides clear, auditable trails of sourced prospects.

Is ProspectBuddy safe to use with LinkedIn?
Absolutely. ProspectBuddy is explicitly built for safe, manual prospecting. It does not perform any automated actions, scraping, or messaging on your behalf. You remain in full control, working directly from the LinkedIn interface. This manual approach makes it a fully compliant and safer alternative to bulk scraping tools or automation bots that violate LinkedIn's Terms of Service.
How do credits work in ProspectBuddy?
Credits are your internal balance used for specific premium actions within the extension. You purchase credits securely via Stripe, and your balance updates automatically after payment. Credits are primarily spent on actions like searching for a verified email (which costs credits only if an email is successfully found) or generating AI outreach messages.
Why can't I see some of my Airtable fields when mapping?
ProspectBuddy supports specific, compatible Airtable field types to ensure data integrity. Supported types include: Attachment (for photos), URL, Text, Email, and Phone. If your Airtable field is a different type (like a checkbox, rating, or formula), it will not appear in the mapping dropdown. Ensure you are mapping to a field with a compatible type.
