How to Use People Database – Knowledge Base

Hey Skyleaders 👋

We’re introducing People Database, a new way to find potential contacts directly from the database.

This feature is separate from LinkedIn and allows you to search for contacts by applying different filters, preview the results, and save them into your Lists for later use.

Opening People Database

To get started, open the People database tab from the left-side menu.

Here, you’ll see all available filters on the left. Since the database needs at least one filter to start searching, the results area will stay empty until you apply your first filter.

Once you choose the filters that match your ideal contacts, the database will start showing potential matches.

Choosing filters

In the filter section, you can choose the information you want to use to find the right contacts.

People Database allows you to search by different contact, company, and profile details, such as:

First name
Last name
Keyword
Current job title
Past job title
Current company name
Past company name
Current company URN
Past company URN
Current company website
Past company website
Current company ID
Past company ID
School
Languages
Skills
Location
Limit results

You can also use the Limit results filter to control how many contacts you want to save in the list.

Adding included and excluded values

Once you open a filter, type the values you want to search for.

You can add multiple values by pressing Enter/Return or adding; between them. Each value will appear as a tag, so you can easily see what has been added and remove it if needed.

Use the Include field for the information you want the contacts to match, and the Exclude field for anything you don’t want included in your results.

For example, if you want to find contacts from specific companies, add those company names under Include. If there are companies you want to avoid, add them under Exclude.

Once you’re done setting the filters, click Apply filters to start searching.

Previewing the results

After you apply the filters, the matching contacts will appear in the preview table on the right side of the screen.

Here, you can review the results and check if they match the type of contacts you’re looking for. If the results are too broad, you can go back to the filter section and add more filters to narrow down your search.

Once you’re happy with the preview, click Save in the top-right corner.

Saving contacts to a list

After clicking Save, a pop-up will appear where you can choose where to store the filtered contacts.

You can either save them to a New list by entering a new list name.

You also have an option to add the contacts to an Existing list by selecting one from the dropdown.

Once you choose the option that works best for you, click Save to store the filtered results.

The saved contacts will then be added as a list to the Lists section, where you can later open it, review, and filter the contacts you saved from People Database. From there, you can also add the list to a campaign. If you save the contacts to an existing list that is already connected to a campaign, those leads will be added to that campaign as well.
