Important Chrome Extension Update

What's changing?

We would like to inform you of an upcoming update to the Interseller Chrome extension beginning January 8, 2024.

In order to comply with LinkedIn's terms and conditions, we are updating our Chrome extension so that it will no longer scrape data from user profiles.

Instead, you will be able to use the extension to perform email lookups in the following ways:

• Download resume PDF: When viewing an individual public LinkedIn profile, users will select the option to save the contact's resume. This will automatically open the Chrome extension and parse the resume PDF and perform a single email lookup.
• Export a CSV: When viewing LinkedIn Recruiter in the project stage, select the contacts and click the option to export a CSV. This will automatically open the Chrome extension and parse the CSV file and perform bulk email lookups.

Check out this help guide to learn the new email lookup workflow.

Why is this changing?

We understand that this is a change to the previously supported workflows; however, this change is important to ensure we are not violating LinkedIn's terms of use around data scraping. 

LinkedIn can take action against users who use tools that violate their data scraping policies, up to and including interrupting account access and banning individual accounts from the platform. 

For more information on LinkedIn's changes, please refer to the following articles:

• Enhancing protections against unauthorized scraping
• Prohibited software and extensions
