Findymail Chrome Extension: How to Find Emails From LinkedIn

The Findymail Chrome extension lets you open a LinkedIn profile and get that person's verified work email, or click "Get phone" for a number, without leaving the page. Findymail's own pages describe it as a single-profile tool; a Sales Navigator list export is documented only in Instantly's help center, so treat that part as something to confirm in your account. For everything else Findymail does, start with our Findymail review.

We did not install or test the extension for this guide. The steps and figures below come from Findymail's pages, the Chrome Web Store listing and Instantly's help center, with sources at the end.

The Findymail extension at a glance

Here is what the Chrome Web Store listing showed when we checked it on November 9, 2026. Store figures change often, so read them as a snapshot.

Findymail's email finder page calls it the "Single Search Chrome Extension," and its integrations page says it finds emails "from LinkedIn and more as you browse." The store text says it works on "the largest professional networks" without naming LinkedIn, so we cannot confirm which other sites it supports.

If you want to try it, create a free Findymail account first; the extension needs an account to run lookups.

Who the extension is for

The extension is a good fit when you prospect one person at a time and want a verified address on the spot. It is a weaker fit when you need thousands of contacts a week, which is what Findymail's bulk upload and integrations are for.

Best for:

• Founders and account executives researching a short list of target accounts.
• SDRs who check a profile before a call or a personal email.
• Recruiters and partnership leads who reach out to specific people.
• Anyone who wants a quick phone number for a US contact.

Not ideal for:

• Building a 5,000-contact campaign list. Use a CSV upload instead.
• EU phone numbers, which Findymail does not provide.
• Personal emails like Gmail, which Findymail says it does not provide.

How to install and set up the extension

Findymail's blog post on exporting leads from Sales Navigator (published October 2, 2026, modified October 12, 2026) gives these steps for the extension.

1. Create a Findymail account. Sign up at Findymail with no credit card and get 10 free credits, per its pricing page.
2. Install the extension. Add "Findymail - Email & Phone Finder" from the Chrome Web Store.
3. Pin it. Click the extensions (puzzle piece) icon in Chrome and pin Findymail so it stays in the toolbar.
4. Log in. Click the extension and log in to your account.
5. Open a profile. Visit the lead's profile and activate the extension. Findymail says it retrieves a verified address "within a few seconds."

Instantly's help center describes the login step slightly differently: copy your Findymail API key from the Findymail site, then paste it into the extension to log in. Your API key lives on Findymail's API tokens page. If one login method does not work, try the other. If you do not have an account yet, sign up for Findymail free before installing.

Checklist before your first lookup

• Findymail account created and confirmed.
• Extension pinned in the Chrome toolbar.
• Logged in (account login or API key).
• You know which plan you are on, since lookups count against it.
• If you plan to sync contacts, your CRM or sequencer is connected in Findymail first.

Finding an email from a LinkedIn profile

The core flow is short. Open a person's profile, click the Findymail extension, and it returns a verified work email if it can find one.

Findymail says finding and verification happen in one step, so the address you get has already been checked. On its credit-based plans, Findymail says "No charge if we can't find it," so a miss costs nothing.

You can also run the same single search inside the Findymail web app with a full name plus a company website, or with a profile URL. That is useful when you have a name from a conference list or a website and no profile open.

Finding a phone number

On a social profile, click "Get phone," per Findymail's phone finder page. Findymail pulls mobile and direct-dial numbers "from social profiles," so the profile URL is the input.

Two limits matter. Findymail says phones are not available for EU contacts because of GDPR, and its API docs describe the phone field as "Only available for US numbers." A phone also costs more than an email: 10 credits on credit plans, and more of your allowance on usage plans.

Sales Navigator: what is documented and what is not

This is where most guides overstate things, so here is exactly what we could verify.

On Findymail's own site: its current pages describe single-profile lookups. The blog post titled "how to export leads from Sales Navigator" covers manual Sales Navigator searching with Boolean filters, then single-profile email lookups with the extension. It does not describe a list export.

In Instantly's help center: an article marked "Updated over 10 months ago" documents a Sales Navigator flow with the Findymail extension. Its steps are:

1. Add the Findymail extension to Chrome.
2. Copy your Findymail API key and paste it into the extension to log in.
3. Run your search in LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
4. Click the export option ("Export to CSV") to download the results, and save the file.
5. Import the CSV into an Instantly campaign.

That article is a third-party source, and the extension has been updated since. Lead caps per export are not stated anywhere we read. Before you plan a workflow around Sales Navigator export, install the extension, run one small search and confirm the button still exists and what it returns.

If you need a dependable bulk path today, use Findymail's documented bulk finder: upload a CSV or XLS of names plus domains, profile URLs, or domains plus job titles. Our how to use Findymail guide walks through bulk finding step by step, and the complete Findymail review covers row limits by plan.

What the extension costs

The extension has no separate price. Every lookup draws from the same Findymail plan you use in the web app.

Findymail says one usage pool is shared across the web app, extension, integrations and API, and by everyone on the plan. So a teammate's bulk upload and your extension lookups come out of the same allowance.

Findymail does not publish how many lookups fit in each usage window. When you hit a limit, it says "nothing is charged"; you wait for usage to free up or move to a higher plan. On the Starter credit plan, an email works out to about 2 cents and a phone to about 20 cents, based on $99 for 5,000 credits.

For a fuller breakdown, see the pricing section of our Findymail review or check Findymail's current plans.

From extension to campaign

A lookup is only useful if the contact ends up somewhere you can act on it. Findymail gives you three routes.

Push to a sequencer

Findymail lists native integrations with Instantly, Smartlead and lemlist. For Instantly and Smartlead, Findymail says you "connect your API key once, pick a campaign, and every contact you find goes straight into your sequence," with properties attached. Sync frequency and caps are not published.

Our Findymail to Instantly guide covers that workflow, and our Instantly review explains Instantly's plans.

Push to a CRM

Findymail lists native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive, and also lists Zoho, Close and Copper. Its HubSpot page describes connecting the CRM "in a few clicks," then pushing verified contacts "in one click." Field mapping details are not published on the pages we read.

Export a CSV

For any tool Findymail does not connect to, download a CSV and import it. PlusVibe, for example, is not on Findymail's integration list, so a CSV, Zapier, Make or the API is the route there.

Tips for using the extension well

• Verify the company domain first. If a person lists an old employer, the email you get may be for the wrong company.
• Batch your research. Open profiles from one account at a time so contacts land in the same list or campaign.
• Skip EU phone lookups. They will not return a number.
• Watch shared usage. On Team and Scale, tell the team when a big bulk upload is running.
• Do not double-pay for verification. Findymail says its emails are verified at the moment of finding, and Instantly's help center says the same of Findymail data imported into Instantly.
• Keep sending infrastructure ready. Verified emails help, but warmed mailboxes and correct DNS still decide inbox placement. Our cold email infrastructure guide covers setup.

LinkedIn's rules

The extension runs on profile pages you visit, which keeps it close to normal browsing. Still, LinkedIn's User Agreement restricts scraping and the use of unauthorized bots or automated methods, and LinkedIn publishes a help page on prohibited software and extensions.

Findymail's pages do not discuss LinkedIn's terms. Read LinkedIn's rules yourself, keep lookups manual and at a human pace, and be more careful with any bulk export from Sales Navigator.

Findymail extension vs other prospecting extensions

Many B2B data tools offer a browser extension, and they differ mainly in what sits behind them. Lusha's FAQ says its extension works on LinkedIn profiles, Sales Navigator and company websites, shows whether an email, direct dial or mobile exists, and saves revealed contacts to your CRM. Our Findymail vs Lusha comparison goes deeper on that choice.

Apollo takes a different approach: its pricing page describes a platform where credits cover emails and phones from its own database, with email sequencing included, which suits teams that want search, data and sending in one tool. You can start with Apollo here. Our guide on how to use Apollo for prospecting shows that workflow.

Rather not build the list yourself?

Looking up profiles one by one is fine for ten prospects and slow for a thousand. Nerdy Joe is owned by Agency Growth Partners (AGP), and AGP builds verified lead lists and runs outbound for agencies.

If you would rather skip the manual research, book a call with David.

Bottom line

The Findymail Chrome extension is a simple, focused tool: open a profile, get a verified work email or a US phone, and send it to your CRM or sequencer. It is not documented by Findymail as a bulk Sales Navigator exporter, so confirm that behavior yourself before relying on it, and use the bulk finder for large lists.

To try it, sign up for Findymail, install the extension and spend your 10 free credits on profiles you already know. For pricing, accuracy claims and alternatives, read the full Findymail review.
