API Exchange Pro Extension

feature

API Exchange has released a brand-new Pro version of their Chrome extension — rebuilt from the ground up with AI capabilities and deeper CRM integrations.

Recruitly is a supported integration partner, meaning you can connect the extension directly to your Recruitly CRM.

What you can do

  • Import your LinkedIn connections into Recruitly with a single click — no CSV exports, no manual data entry
  • Search LinkedIn Talent Solutions and push candidates straight into your pipeline
  • Enrich candidate profiles with up-to-date contact details and work history

The Pro extension is fully compliant with LinkedIn's platform guidelines.

Before you install

If you have the older API Exchange extension, remove it first. The Pro version replaces it entirely — it's faster, more stable, and better aligned with LinkedIn's latest architecture.

WhatsApp Campaigns

feature

Reach candidates and clients where they're most responsive — directly on WhatsApp, at scale.

Highlights

  • Multi-device sending — distribute campaign volume across multiple WhatsApp numbers to maximise reach and protect your sender reputation
  • Live progress monitoring — watch delivery, read, and reply rates update in real time as your campaign runs
  • High-volume delivery — send thousands of personalised messages with intelligent pacing that keeps your numbers safe
  • Built-in rate limiting — automatic throttling prevents WhatsApp bans, so you can focus on the message, not the mechanics

WhatsApp campaigns pair perfectly with our existing email and drip-feed campaigns, giving your team a true multi-channel outreach engine.

How it works

  • Two-way messaging — send messages and see replies in the activity timeline, right alongside emails and calls
  • Message templates — use pre-approved WhatsApp templates for consistent, compliant outreach
  • Conversation history — every message is logged automatically, giving your whole team full visibility

Combined with WhatsApp Campaigns, this gives your agency a complete WhatsApp communication stack — from one-to-one conversations to large-scale outreach.

Protect your candidate CVs before sharing them with clients. Add your agency's watermark to any PDF with a single click.
