You can manually add LinkedIn connections to any Connector in The Swarm using two methods:
Two Ways to Add Connections to Connetor:
Bulk Upload via LinkedIn CSV
Upload a CSV file of LinkedIn connections (just like you would for your own profile).
Manual Entry via LinkedIn URLs
Paste one or multiple LinkedIn profile URLs directly.
Once uploaded, The Swarm will enrich, map, and associate the connections with the selected Connector. These can then be found under Connector Connections (and People tab) and used to uncover potential intropaths through network filters.
✅ Uploading takes just a few seconds.
✅ There’s no limit to how many connections you can upload per Connector.
💡 Use Case Example
If you don’t want to burden colleagues, investors, or friends with onboarding, you can simply add them as Connectors (we'll then run AI Network Mapper automatically) and you can import their LinkedIn connections on their behalf.
Just ask them to send you their LinkedIn CSV or a list of LinkedIn profile URLs. You’ll instantly expand your network—without needing them to join the platform.
⚠️ While this feature is powerful, we always encourage inviting others to actively join your Swarm team. A collaborative network builds trust and opens the door to genuine warm introductions.
