Hello Community! 🙂 My name is Ross, I'm leading the sales team at DataMix - Ukrainian software development house. I'm sure it won't be surprise for anyone that b2b companies all around the globe are using LinkedIn for sales. When you're an active LinkedIn user (like me), you quickly start getting tons of messages, notifications, mentions, both work and personal. So, I'm using LinkedIn Helper 2 software that helps me to automate some of my routine follow-up process on LinkedIn, and also keep track on communication that came from sales sequences. The best thing I love about it is that I can send a person of my choice to HubSpot CRM as a new Contact in one click. Integration is done via Zapier Webhook. LinkedIn Helper is transfering any public info about my 1st degree contact, including the LinkedIn Profile Pic. Right now, everything is perfect except for one thing. I'm getting new Contacts without a Photo. I love to have contacts "Clean" and photos of my prospects remind me who are they and what we talked about - in a single glance. I described the almost whole sequence for you in order to give more "background" on how everything works. Now, for profile pictures, I have to manually copy every pic I have and upload it to Contact Profile in CRM. Here's an example of how LinkedIn Profile photos are stored (link). Basically, it's a link to photo repository. The problem is, there's no corresponding Contact Field in HubSpot to which I can "feed" this link. The best match that I found looks like that: https://i.imgur.com/XcKwaSY.png Guess the easiest way for HubSpot to give me opportunity to automatically assign photo for Contacts is to create a separate, technical contact field (saying "Profile Pic URL") This way, if HubSpot received url of the picture, there should be a rule like "Profile Pic URL" has priority over "default profile photo" But of course, it's a very simplified way to see things. Then, I found a similar topic from 2016 here. The thing is, the feature I request doesn't violate LinkedIn policies. Profile pics are public. Moreover, I can export the whole LinkedIn profile as pdf and it will include profile pic. The only thing that is required is to take a pic from Repository A (LinkedIn) and save it in Repository B (HubSpot). Or even display it directly, so that if person removes it, photo will disappear in HubSpot. Do you think we can get it?
