# ➕ Import contacts

TalkToHumans starts with the people already in your LinkedIn account: existing **conversations, invitations, and connections**, but you can also import new contacts in different ways. Here’s how:

## Your existing network and conversations

Once you have [set up TalkToHumans](https://www.talktohumans.app/docs/product/setup), your LinkedIn data syncs automatically.

You can find contacts from your existing **conversations, invitations, and connections**.

<Info>
  For large LinkedIn accounts, the initial sync can take a moment

## Import from a LinkedIn profile

When you visit a LinkedIn profile, you can use TalkToHumans’ **Smart Embed** to quickly import that person into TalkToHumans:

If the person is already in TalkToHumans because you connected, messaged, or imported them before, the panel shows their existing contact instead of an **Import** button:

<Info>
  You can quickly start a conversation with that person by clicking the “Start conversation” button. This will open the TalkToHumans chat sidebar directly on LinkedIn.

## Import leads from a Sales Navigator search

If you have a Sales Navigator subscription, you can import selected leads directly from a people search:

Use the checkboxes beside the search results to select the leads you want. You can keep selecting leads across several pages of the same search.

Then click **Import** to import those leads into TalkToHumans.

A dedicated contact view will be created once the import is complete.

<Info>
  Sales Navigator imports will run in the background, so larger selections may take a moment to appear in TalkToHumans

## Import contacts via the MCP or API

For contacts coming from your CRM, Clay, a spreadsheet, an AI search, or another part of your GTM stack, use the TalkToHumans MCP or API:

* Use the [TalkToHumans MCP](https://www.talktohumans.app/docs/developers/mcp) to let tools such as Claude or Codex import and organize contacts.
* Use the [Import contact API](https://www.talktohumans.app/docs/developers/contacts/import-contact) to push contacts from your own workflows and integrations.

## Find imported contacts

Open the default **Imported** view in TalkToHumans:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/talktohumans/DrlWDS5HTiiuh-Ib/images/imported-view-contacts.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=DrlWDS5HTiiuh-Ib&q=85&s=fa7425232531a193e4c1bf9f61181ac8" alt="Imported View Contacts" width="3032" height="1996" data-path="images/imported-view-contacts.png" />

From the **Imported** view, you can filter contacts into a more focused list, add tags, or open a contact to start a personalized [sequence](https://www.talktohumans.app/docs/product/messaging/sequences).
