Email to LinkedIn URL matcher: join two lists by name
In short: Paste one list of emails and one of LinkedIn profile URLs. Each address is matched to a profile when its name part agrees with the profile name, and you download the pairs and the leftovers. Limit: It matches names only; it cannot know that two people with the same name are different.
Paste one list of email addresses and one list of LinkedIn profile URLs. The tool cleans each URL to its profile name, then matches an address to a profile when the part before the @ is the full name, either way round, or the first initial and last name. Pairs, addresses with no profile and profiles with no address come out as files.

A name match joins the lists. A check shows whether the mailbox exists.
- Download every address with its LinkedIn column, or use the check button under the result.
- Upload or paste it at /verify. Every address gets a live mailbox check, and the first 100 email checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card.
How do I match emails to LinkedIn profiles?
- Paste the email addresses in the left box, one per line.
- Paste the LinkedIn profile URLs in the right box, one per line. Tracking, country subdomains and trailing ids are handled.
- Press Match the lists and read the pairs.
- Download the matches, every address with a LinkedIn column, or the profiles with no address.
Example
- You enter
- Example lists: five addresses (ava.example@, b.sample@, cara-demo@, dev.person@, nobody.here@ on example domains) and four LinkedIn profile URLs (ava-example, ben-sample, demo-cara, pat-other).
- You get
- Five addresses and four profiles read: 3 matched by name and 2 addresses with no profile. ava.example@ and cara-demo@ match as full names and b.sample@ as first initial and last name; pat-other has no address.
- Limits
- Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How does the match work?
A profile link like linkedin.com/in/ava-example-4a1b2c3 gives the name words ava and example once the trailing id is dropped. The address ava.example@ matches as a full name, example.ava@ and avaexample@ do too, and a.example@ matches as the first initial and last name. A plus tag after the name is ignored.
If two profiles fit one address, the row says several profiles fit and lists them, so you can choose.
Does a match mean it is the right person?
No. It means the names agree. Two people can share a name, and the address may belong to someone else with that name at another company. Spot-check the pairs before you use them, and check the mailbox before you send.
To tidy a column of profile links first, use the LinkedIn URL cleaner.
Which addresses cannot be matched?
Addresses with no name in them (info@, sales@), addresses that use only a first name, and addresses built another way are not matched. They come out as addresses with no profile. To guess the name from an address, see name from email.
Who uses this tool, and for what?
- Sales ops
- Attach a LinkedIn link to addresses from one export using profiles from another.
- Cold email senders
- Join a scraped profile list to the emails you found, with the leftovers on both sides.
- Recruiters
- Line up contact emails and profile links for the same shortlist.
What can’t this tool tell you?
- It matches names only; it cannot know that two people with the same name are different.
- Addresses with no name in them are not matched.
- Profile links that hide the name behind an id, such as Sales Navigator links, are skipped.
- Names with nicknames or married names may not agree between the address and the profile.
Common questions
- What do the URLs need to look like?
- A link containing linkedin.com/in/ followed by the profile name. Company, post and Sales Navigator links are skipped.
- Does it look anything up on LinkedIn?
- No. It compares the text of the two lists only, in your browser.
- What if the profile name has a number or id at the end?
- A trailing number or short id that LinkedIn adds to separate people with the same name is dropped before matching.
- Why is an address with only a first name not matched?
- A first name alone fits too many people to match safely.
- What does several profiles fit mean?
- More than one profile in your list agrees with the address. Pick the right one by hand.
- Is my list uploaded anywhere?
- No. It is read in your browser.
A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.
Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
- Upload the cleaned file as it is: CSVs up to 100,000 rows
- A real SMTP mailbox check on every row, with catch-all detection
