migrate · linked helper
Leave the desktop running one last time
Linked Helper earned a decade of loyalty by being cheap and capable: 500,000+ users since 2016. It also needs a computer that never sleeps, campaigns configured by hand, and exports you have to babysit. Migration is one CSV, and nothing you built is lost.
- 1Export from Linked Helper
In LH: your account → export contacts → CSV. Do it for every seat you run: each export carries that seat's full contact history.
- 2Import into LinkedBoost
Tell Claude: “import this Linked Helper export.” We parse it as LH actually writes it: including the quirks below, and every contacted person becomes suppression memory instantly.
- 3Describe your first motion
Your old campaigns were lists + steps. Describe the same audience in a sentence and the desk rebuilds it: with research-based drafts instead of templates, queued for your approval.
We know LH exports better than we'd like to
This page exists because we ran multi-seat Linked Helper operations for years before building LinkedBoost. Three export quirks bite almost everyone, and our importer handles each:
| LH export quirk | What goes wrong if ignored | Importer behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Delimiter drifts between accounts | Some seats export semicolons, others commas: naive parsers silently drop rows | Delimiter is sniffed per file; imported count is checked against the file's row count and any mismatch is reported, never swallowed |
| Last-message field ignores direction | The export's last-message column holds the latest message in the thread regardless of who sent it: read naively it can overstate replies severalfold | We don't infer replies from that column at all; reply state rebuilds from actual thread direction after your seat connects |
| Case-sensitive profile URLs | Member URNs break if lowercased, so dedupe by URL misses duplicates | Identity resolution keys on the profile, not the string: case never splits one person into two |
What changes after the switch
| Linked Helper | LinkedBoost |
|---|---|
| Desktop app must stay running (or you rent a VPS) | Managed cloud: close the laptop |
| Limit counters are numbers you typed: nothing enforces them | Caps, ramps, and the acceptance kill switch enforced in infrastructure |
| Suppression = re-exporting CSVs and hoping they're fresh | Live contacted-universe memory across every seat |
| Campaigns configured step-by-step in a tree UI | Described in a sentence to Claude; drafts wait for your yes |
| Template messages with variables | Agent reads the prospect before writing |
| $15–45/mo per license | From $29/account: founding beta free for 30 days, price locked |
Honest note: if $15/month and full manual control matter more to you than your time, LH remains the value pick of the old generation: our full comparison says so. This page is for the day the desktop babysitting stops being worth it.
Bring your export. Keep your history. Retire the desktop.
