Troubleshooting
Problem: Recipe shows 0 matches or Review is empty.Try this:
• Scroll LinkedIn search to load more profile cards into the DOM.
• Stay on the tab where links are visible.
• Try Find All → ★ LinkedIn profiles instead of raw Grab All.
Best practices
• Run the recipe on the same tab where you scrolled People results.• Prefer canonical /in/ URLs for ATS imports.
• Deduplicate in Review before CSV export.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Link Grabber scrape LinkedIn profiles?No. Link Grabber collects links already visible in your browser — same as copy-pasting hrefs. The recipe only filters which URLs are kept.
- Is Link Grabber a Chrome extension?Yes. Install from the Chrome Web Store. Recipes activate automatically on hosts like linkedin.com.
- Will I get duplicate profile URLs?The recipe drops /details/ and /overlay/ section URLs. Review also deduplicates by URL before export.
- Can I export Sales Navigator leads?Sales Nav uses /sales/ and /talent/ URLs — excluded by design. Export canonical /in/ links from People search instead.
- Can I customize the recipe rules?Yes — Options → Manage Recipes. Edit bundled LinkedIn profiles or Save as Recipe from Review filters.
