Since 2010, Pipedrive has been streamlining sales funnels and enhancing sales productivity. With over 500 integrations and a suite of sales-focused features, Pipedrive still lacks one critical tool for closing deals in 2025: native LinkedIn integration.

Why does this matter? LinkedIn is the go-to platform for over 1 billion professionals worldwide, with projections suggesting that this number will keep growing until 2028. As a result, CRMs that can leverage social selling capabilities – the practice of using LinkedIn to connect with and engage prospects – are no longer optional but essential.

To help you stay competitive, we’re highlighting some of the best LinkedIn integrations for Pipedrive that will elevate your outbound sales strategy and drive more deals to close.

🤔 Why Integrate LinkedIn with Pipedrive?

Syncing data from LinkedIn to Pipedrive does more than just tap into an ever-growing pool of leads and prospects — it empowers your sales team in several key ways:

• Enhanced Lead Generation and Prospecting: Access a broader network of potential clients directly within your CRM.

• Centralized Contact Management: Keep LinkedIn and Pipedrive contacts conveniently at arms reach in one unified inbox.

• Real-Time Interaction and Notifications: Stay updated on LinkedIn interactions without leaving Pipedrive.

• Automated Sales Outreach and Follow-Ups: Streamline communication with prospects using automated workflows.

• Improved CRM Data Accuracy: Reduce manual data entry and ensure consistent, up-to-date information.

Now we dive into our top picks to supercharge your sales process with Pipedrive. 

🚀 The 5 Best LinkedIn Integrations for Pipedrive in 2025

1) Surfe (FKA: Leadjet)

Summary: 

Surfe, the self-proclaimed “next-generation productivity software,” bridges the gap between Pipedrive and LinkedIn by automating repetitive tasks and supporting sales teams throughout the entire sales cycle.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 1-Click Contact Management: Easily add contacts to your CRM, manage deals and pipelines, and edit contact data directly from LinkedIn without leaving the platform.

• Lead Enrichment & Prospecting: Surfe’s enrichment tool pulls verified professional email addresses from various data providers and automatically syncs them to Pipedrive.

• Centralized Lead Management: Sync LinkedIn messages to Pipedrive, add notes to LinkedIn profiles that auto-update in Pipedrive, manage deals directly on LinkedIn, and export lead lists from Sales Navigator to Pipedrive seamlessly.

• Personalized Outreach & Analytics: Access message-ready templates for personalized outreach — intros, follow-ups, demo proposals — and track template performance with response rate analytics.

Pricing & Availability

⚠️ My HONEST Opinion ⚠️ Surfe has the potential to bridge the gaps left by Pipedrive and even enhance certain features — but it comes at a cost. By industry standards, Surfe is pricey, and if you’re already paying a premium for Pipedrive, your monthly expenses can quickly add up. My solution? Consider a CRM that offers native LinkedIn integration right out of the box, like Breakcold. After all, it’s about working smarter, not harder. 😗

2) LinkMatch

Summary 

Designed to minimize time spent on manual tasks, LinkMatch helps boost productivity while ensuring your CRM records stay accurate and up to date. From lead enrichment to contact and task management, LinkMatch aims to streamline your sales cycle — making it faster, simpler, and more profitable.

Key Features & Benefits 

• Import LinkedIn Profiles: Effortlessly import LinkedIn person and company profiles into Pipedrive.

• Lead Enrichment: Automatically add verified emails and phone numbers to your contacts.

• Prospect Management: Instantly identify which LinkedIn profiles already exist in your Pipedrive CRM.

• Two-Way Message Sync: Sync LinkedIn messages directly into Pipedrive for seamless communication tracking.

• Seamless Task Management: Create leads, deals, and activities from LinkedIn with just a few clicks.

• View & Edit Contacts: Manage your Pipedrive contacts and organizations without leaving LinkedIn.

• Bulk Import: Import multiple LinkedIn profiles at once to save time and effort.

• Custom Fields Support: Fully compatible with custom fields in Pipedrive, so you can tailor your data to fit your workflow.

Pricing & Availability

⚠️ My HONEST Opinion ⚠️ Even if LinkMatch has implemented multiple safeguards to minimize duplicate data, it can only reduce the risk — not eliminate it entirely. When syncing and importing data between platforms, especially through third-party integrations, you’re always at risk of compromising your data hygiene. One of the most common causes of data duplication is weak integration between systems, and let’s face it — not every sales rep is tech-savvy. No tool is perfect, but the fewer steps and handoffs your data has to go through, the lower the risk of duplication — or worse. So instead of settling for third-party solutions that only patch part of the problem, invest in a CRM with native LinkedIn integration. It’ll save you real time and money in the long run.  This is what one of the founders of the tools mentioned in this article said about Breakcold. No rivalry, as we're partners, just a testimony of our strength!

3) Dux-Soup

Summary: 

Dux-Soup is yet another LinkedIn automation tool born from founder Will van der Sanden frustrations with obtaining, compiling and managing qualified contacts from LinkedIn. From streamline LinkedIn outreach to lead generation so you can focus on growing your business and closing deals.

Key Features & Benefits 

• Create & Update Records: Update “People” and “Organization” records directly from LinkedIn.

• Personalized Outreach: Send personalized LinkedIn connection requests directly from Pipedrive.

• Automate LinkedIn engagement, including:

  • Profile visits

  • Messaging

  • Connection requests

  • Follows

• Direct Messaging: Send direct messages to your LinkedIn connections from within Pipedrive.

• Seamless Campaign Sequences: Enroll Pipedrive contacts into smart drip campaigns for efficient follow-ups.

• Automated Activity Creation: Automatically create Pipedrive activities when, a new LinkedIn connection is made or LinkedIn message is received.

• Flexible Workflow Execution: Run actions in bulk or individually to match your preferred workflow.

Pricing & Availability

⚠️ My HONEST Opinion ⚠️ Unlike most automation tools, Dux-Soup relies on a browser extension and requires an open LinkedIn tab to function. As you may have guessed, this means Dux-Soup is not fully automated and not cloud-based — which can be a dealbreaker for many users. If you regularly work with dozens (or hundreds) of tabs open, there’s a real risk of accidentally closing the LinkedIn tab that keeps Dux-Soup running. This can cause more than just an interrupted session — it may lead to data loss or warnings from LinkedIn that can slow down your outreach efforts temporarily or for good.

4) Expandi

Summary:

Expandi is a cloud-based LinkedIn prospecting tool with human-micmicking capabilities to keep you out of hot water with LinkedIn’s stringent rules and regulations. From lead generation to multichannel outreach, Expandi aims to automate as many stages of the sales engagement process as possible.

Key Features & Benefits

• Account Warming Capabilities: Expandi allows you to fine tune the platform to mimic human-like behaviour (or yours) so you don’t end up in any hot water with LinkedIn. 

Pricing & Availability

⚠️ My HONEST Opinion ⚠️ Sure, Expandi is a reliable sales engagement tool with some solid lead enrichment capabilities. However, its outdated UI, occasional bugs, and unclear pricing structure leave me with a few reservations. Overall, it’s a decent tool — it doesn’t outperform the competition, but it doesn’t fall flat either. That said, when you’re paying a minimum of $99/month, “just good enough” really isn’t GOOD enough. If you're looking to spend half the price for twice the tool, Breakcold offers a range of pricing plans to help you close deals in 2025 and beyond.

5) Lemlist

Summary:

Lemlist specializes in personalization at scale, multichannel outreach, and deliverability/conversion optimization. Simply put, lemlist is great at doing what many outreach automation tools aren’t so great at: getting a response. 

Key Features & Benefits

💭 Final Thoughts + Takeaway

While Pipedrive’s third-party integrations offer a decent short-term workaround, there appear to be no long-term plans for native LinkedIn integration — and that’s a problem. Nearly half the world’s population is active on social media, and LinkedIn has evolved from just another platform to THE platform for sales reps to engage with leads.

This isn’t to downplay the powerful features Pipedrive brings to the table, but if there’s one key takeaway from this article, it’s this: your CRM should adapt to your workflow — not the other way around.

The reality is, Pipedrive wasn’t built for LinkedIn-first workflows — but Breakcold is. If you’re looking to start closing deals on LinkedIn in 2025 and beyond, it might be time to consider a relationship-driven CRM like Breakcold.
