ProspectBuddy is a safe manual LinkedIn prospecting tool that saves contacts from LinkedIn profiles to Airtable or Trello in one click, built for sales teams, recruiters, and operators who need a compliant alternative to automation bots.
What is ProspectBuddy?
ProspectBuddy is a Chrome extension that lets you capture structured LinkedIn profile data (name, subtitle, skills, about, job experience, photo, email, phone, URL) and send it directly to Airtable or Trello as new records. It also provides verified business email and phone number search, and AI-generated personalized outreach messages. The tool is developed by the ProspectBuddy team and emphasizes fully manual, safe prospecting with no automated actions.
Key Features
- One-click CRM export — Send LinkedIn profile data to Airtable or Trello with a single click after mapping fields in a Setting. Uses 1 credit per export.
- Verified email search — Find verified business emails from LinkedIn profiles. 10 credits per search; no charge if no email is found or if the profile was already searched.
- Phone number enrichment — Reveal direct phone numbers (for B2B users with a business email). 50 credits per search; no charge if not found or already searched.

What can you do with ProspectBuddy?
- Manual LinkedIn prospecting: Open a LinkedIn profile, parse it, select fields, and click "Send to Airtable" (or Trello) to instantly add a structured contact record. The entire workflow is manual and compliant.
- Enrichment and messaging: Search for a verified business email or phone number from the profile, then use the AI to draft a personalized message based on that data — all within the extension.
- Batch leads without automation: Because each action requires a click and explicit user choice, you stay in control while building a consistent lead list in your CRM.
How does ProspectBuddy work?
After installing the Chrome extension, you connect your Airtable or Trello account via the Connect screen. Then create a Setting to map LinkedIn fields to your CRM fields. On any LinkedIn profile, click the extension icon, parse the profile, select the fields and Setting, and click "Send to Airtable" (or Trello) to add the contact. Credits are deducted per action. You can purchase credits via Stripe.
