Bringing your network to Contra just got easier. With our import tool, you can sync your LinkedIn contacts in a few simple steps using the Contra Network Finder browser extension.

What can I do with imported contacts?

Once your contacts are synced to Contra, you’ll be able to:

  • Follow contacts who are already on Contra

  • Add contacts not yet on Contra to your network — we will NOT notify them

  • Add & invite contacts not yet on Contra — we’ll send them an invite via email

To import your LinkedIn contacts:

  1. Click "build network" from the network page

  2. Click "import contacts" from the build network dropdown

  3. From the build import contacts page, select “LinkedIn”

  4. Download the Contra Network Finder extension

  5. Log into Contra through the extension

  6. Click “Sync Contacts”

  7. Wait for sync completion

  8. Land or get directed to the “build your network” page

FAQ

How do I know when my sync is completed?

You’ll receive a confirmation via email and an in-app notification once your LinkedIn contacts have finished syncing.

What should I do if my import from LinkedIn fails?

If the import fails, try syncing again through the browser extension. If the issue persists, please reach out to us at hello@contra.com and we’ll be happy to help.

How do I re-sync my LinkedIn contacts?

To re-sync your contacts:

  1. Open LinkedIn in your browser

  2. Click on the Contra Network Finder extension

  3. Select “Sync” again to restart the process

Note: We currently do not automatically sync new LinkedIn contacts

Will Contra notify my LinkedIn contacts when I import them?

No. Importing your contacts is private. We do not send messages or invitations to any of your contacts unless you explicitly choose to invite them after the sync.
