Your old export is your best suppression list
Importing a CSV turns everyone you have ever contacted into suppression memory on day one, so nobody receives a second first-touch. It is the single highest-value action when moving off another tool, and it takes one sentence.
Who this is for: Anyone migrating from Linked Helper, Dripify, Waalaxy, Expandi or a spreadsheet.
Why this is worth automating
- Duplicate first-touches are the fastest way to look automated to a person who already knows you.
- Most migrations lose contact history entirely, which means the new tool re-invites people who already said no.
- A CSV is the one artefact every tool exports, so it is the only migration path that always works.
How to run it, step by step
You type the sentence. The agent picks the tools.
- 1
“Import this CSV as a new lead group called 'LH export, September'.”
Rows become leads; the group becomes an audience you can suppress against.
- 2
“Tell me who in this group I have already spoken to.”
Duplicate protection before anything is enrolled.
- 3
“Mark everyone who replied previously as do-not-contact.”
Past conversations stay out of new campaigns.
- 4
“Enroll only the people I have never contacted.”
Enroll exact new IDs rather than a whole old group.
The numbers
| Setup time | one sentence | No field mapping UI |
| Known Linked Helper quirks handled | 3 | Delimiter drift, reply-direction, case-sensitive URLs |
What goes wrong
Enrolling the whole imported group
A whole old group can restart people who already completed or stopped. Enroll the new IDs only.
Trusting the export's reply column
Some tools record reply direction incorrectly. Verify before treating a row as contacted.
Questions people actually ask
Can I import my contacts from another LinkedIn tool?
Yes. Export a contacts CSV from the old tool and import it. Your contacted universe becomes suppression memory immediately.
Will importing send anything?
No. Import creates leads. Sending requires a sequence and your explicit approval at enrollment.
Connect the LinkedBoost MCP server and say the sentences above. Every send waits for your yes, and the caps are held by the server rather than typed into a settings field.
