Overview

La Growth Machine lets you import leads not only from LinkedIn but also from your own external sources — CRMs, spreadsheets, databases, events, you name it. This guide walks you through importing a CSV file and enriching your leads automatically with emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn profiles, and Twitter accounts.

Key benefits

  • Easy CSV import from any external source.

  • Data flexibility with custom attributes for better personalization.

  • Multi-channel readiness for LinkedIn, email actions.


How to import your CSV file

Step 1 — Prepare your file

  1. Make sure your file is in CSV format.

Step 2 — Start the import

  1. Go to LeadsImport leadsImport CSV.

  2. Upload the CSV file you want to import.

Step 3 — Map your fields

Help LGM understand the fields in your file by matching them to attributes such as:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Job title

  • Company

  • LinkedIn profile URL

  • Email, etc.

Tip: to maximize personalization in your sequences, you can add Custom Attributes in your CSV (e.g., product used, industry, region) and import them.

Step 4 — Choose your audience

Select an existing audience or create a new one.

You’re done — your list is now imported!

What information does LGM need?

La Growth Machine reaches out on LinkedIn, email, and Twitter, so the more data you provide, the better.

Best-case scenario: you provide LinkedIn profile URLs

If your CSV contains LinkedIn profile URLs, LGM can:

  • Scrape public information from each LinkedIn profile

  • Enrich professional emails

  • Find Twitter accounts

If your CSV contains emails

If you already have emails, LGM keeps them as-is.


Important: we follow a data primacy principle — your imported email is never overwritten by enrichment.

Tip: use pre-enrichment before launching your campaign so all leads are ready to go the moment your sequence starts.

Missing LinkedIn profiles, emails, or Twitter accounts?

No worries — LGM automatically enriches your leads.

FAQs

Can I import other file formats?

No. Currently, only CSV files are supported for import.

What if my file fails to import?

Check that:

  • The file is in CSV UTF-8 format.

  • Leads have at least a first name + last name + company name or a LinkedIn URL.

  • There are no special characters in the column headers.

Does LGM modify my data?

No. LGM enriches and completes your data but never replaces what you’ve already provided.
