Update an existing contact from LinkedIn

When the extension recognizes that a LinkedIn profile may already exist in your organization, you can update the existing contact instead of creating a duplicate.

Update a contact

1. Open the LinkedIn profile.
2. Open the RUBINLAKE extension.
3. Review the existing contact match.
4. Compare the visible profile details with the current RUBINLAKE contact.
5. Choose Update contact when the match is correct.
6. Review the updated contact in RUBINLAKE.

When to update

Update a contact when:

• The person changed roles or companies
• Profile details are more complete than the saved record
• Your team needs current context before outreach or recruiting follow-up

Tips

• Do not update a contact if you are unsure it is the same person.
• Review key fields after updating.
• Add a note or task when the update changes the next step for your team.
