The short answer
Clean's LinkedIn integration connects your own LinkedIn account through the Clean extension for Chrome. Clean verifies the connection from the cloud, so you can close Chrome once you have confirmed. With it connected, Clean finds the right people at each company, checks where they work today, and shows the warm paths your network already has to them. The connection is read-only: Clean never posts, messages, or changes anything on your LinkedIn account.
01
What the LinkedIn integration does
Records tell Clean which companies have a reason to buy. LinkedIn tells it who to talk to there. With your account connected, Clean looks for the people at each company who own the problem, reads their profiles, and adds them to the lead with their role.
- The right people at each company Clean surfaces, with their roles
- Current employer and title confirmed from their experience, not a stale headline
- Warm paths: people you already know who are connected to them
02
Current roles, checked
A headline is whatever someone wrote about themselves. Clean reads each person's experience to confirm where they work today and what they do there, so the people on a lead are the ones actually at the company now.
03
Warm paths through your network
When someone you already know on LinkedIn is also connected to the person you want to reach, Clean shows that introduction on the lead. Your team starts from a shared connection instead of a cold message.
04
Read-only by design
Clean only reads through your LinkedIn account: profiles, work history, and your connections. It never posts, sends messages or connection requests, reacts, accepts invitations, or changes anything on your account.
05
Your account, verified from the cloud
Clean works through the LinkedIn account you connect. Once the connection is verified, Clean keeps it running from the cloud, so Chrome does not need to stay open. If LinkedIn asks you to sign in again, the LinkedIn row shows Reconnect, and Disconnect removes the connection at any time.
06
How to connect LinkedIn to Clean
Connecting takes a minute and uses the LinkedIn account you are already signed in to. The LinkedIn row in Integrations shows the connection's status and offers Reconnect if LinkedIn ever asks for it.
- Open LinkedIn in Integrations. In your Clean workspace settings, open Integrations and choose Connect on the LinkedIn row.
- Add the Clean extension for Chrome. If it is not installed yet, Clean asks you to add the Clean LinkedIn extension to Chrome and make sure it is enabled.
- Confirm your account. Confirm the LinkedIn account you are signed in to. Clean verifies the connection from the cloud, and you can close Chrome after confirming.

Common questions.
Can Clean post or send messages from my LinkedIn account?
No. The LinkedIn integration is read-only. Clean reads profiles, work history, and your connections, and never posts, sends messages or connection requests, reacts, or changes anything on your account.
Do I need to keep Chrome open?
No. The Clean extension for Chrome is used to connect and confirm your account. Clean then verifies the connection from the cloud, and you can close Chrome.
Why does Clean check someone's experience instead of their headline?
A headline is free text a person writes about themselves and is often out of date. Their experience shows the company they work for now and their title there, so Clean uses it to confirm current roles.
What happens if LinkedIn asks me to sign in again?
The LinkedIn row in Integrations shows Reconnect. Reconnecting restores the connection without losing your leads or their people.
How do I disconnect LinkedIn?
Open Integrations in your workspace settings and choose Disconnect on the LinkedIn row. Clean stops using the account, and you can connect again at any time.
