You can easily extend your network by adding LinkedIn profiles as Connectors — people whose professional experience helps map shared relationships and reveal new paths within your network.
🔒 Permissions
Only Team Owners and Admins can add and manage Connectors.
If you don’t see this option, ask your team Owner to adjust your role.
🧭 How to Add Connectors
1. Go to the Connectors tab
As a Team Owner or Admin, open the Connectors section from your main navigation.
2. Click Add New Connectors
Find the “Add New” button in the top-right corner.
3. Paste LinkedIn Profile URLs
Enter one or multiple LinkedIn profile URLs.
You can paste up to 100 profiles at once.
Our LinkedIn URL matcher will validate each link automatically.
✅ Accepted formats:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/connorsdavid
https://linkedin.com/in/connorsdavid
linkedin.com/in/connorsdavid
www.linkedin.com/in/connorsdavid
4. Assign a Group
After adding profiles, select the group where these connectors belong.
You can choose from:
Employees
Investors
Customers
Partners
Advisors
Others
Grouping connectors helps keep your network structured and easier to navigate.
At the moment creating new custom groups is not available.
5. Automatic Relationship Mapping
Once added, The Swarm automatically maps each connector’s professional relationships based on:
Work experience overlaps
Education overlaps
Shared investors
These relationships appear in your People tab, where you can explore paths and filter by specific connectors using the “Connected to” filter.
🕓 This process runs quietly in the background — connectors are never notified or invited.
🔁 Inviting Connectors to Join Your Team – Invite Users
If you later decide to give a connector access to your workspace:
Remove them from the connector list.
Send them an invite to join as a User (Guest, Contributor, Admin).
Once they accept, they’ll automatically remain listed as a connector — now with their own account and data sources connected.
