The Cognism Chrome Extension integrates with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, allowing you to access Cognism contact and company data without leaving Sales Navigator.
From lead and account pages, you can view available contact information, explore company insights, and export records directly to your connected CRM or Sales Engagement Platform (SEP).
Before You Begin
Before using the extension with Sales Navigator, ensure that:
- The Cognism Chrome Extension is installed.
- You are signed in to the extension.
- You have access to LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Open the Extension
To use the extension:
- Open LinkedIn Sales Navigator in Google Chrome.
- Navigate to a Lead or Account page.
If Auto-open Extension is enabled, the Cognism panel opens automatically.
If it doesn't, click the Cognism icon in your Chrome toolbar.
The extension opens alongside the Sales Navigator page.
View Contact Information
When viewing a Lead profile, the extension displays available Cognism contact data, including:
- Business email addresses
- Mobile phone numbers
- Job title
- Seniority
- Company information
- Contact location
If certain information is unavailable, the extension indicates which data points are not currently available.
View Company Information
When viewing an Account page, the extension displays company insights such as:
- Company size
- Industry
- Headquarters location
- Revenue range
- Technologies used by the company
This information helps you determine whether an account matches your ideal customer profile before exporting or prospecting further.
Export Leads and Accounts
You can export records directly from Sales Navigator.
To export a Lead or Account:
- Open the Lead or Account page.
- Open the Cognism Chrome Extension.
- Click Export.
- Select your connected CRM or Sales Engagement Platform, if prompted.
- Confirm the export.
The selected record is exported to your connected integration.
Best Practices
To get the most from the Chrome Extension:
- Review both contact and company information before exporting.
- Use Sales Navigator search filters together with Cognism data to identify your ideal prospects.
- Export records directly from the extension to avoid manual data entry.
- Verify that your CRM integration is connected before exporting records.
Troubleshooting
The Extension Doesn't Open
If the Cognism panel doesn't appear:
- Refresh the Sales Navigator page.
- Confirm that you're signed in to the extension.
- Click the Cognism icon in your Chrome toolbar.
- Ensure the extension is enabled in Chrome.
Contact Information Isn't Available
Not every contact has every available data point.
If a mobile number or email address isn't displayed, the extension will indicate that the information is unavailable for that contact.
Export Isn't Working
If you can't export records:
- Verify that your CRM or Sales Engagement Platform integration is connected.
- Confirm that you have permission to export to the selected integration.
- Refresh the page and try again.
