What it is
One of the first things we do before meeting a new Stakeholder is look them up on LinkedIn.
StratNavApp.com provides a convenient way of navigating from the Stakeholder record to their LinkedIn profile page.
The LinkedIn bookmarklet allows you to navigate in the opposite direction: from LinkedIn to their stakeholder page.
It also allows you to pull their profile image and LinkedIn id back into their Stakeholder record.
How to use it
- From any LinkedIn profile page, click on the StratNavApp.com LinkedIn Bookmarklet.
- This will open up a new page showing possible matching Stakeholders in StratNavApp.com.
From there you can:- Navigate to an existing matching Stakeholder record.
- Merge the LinkedIn image and ID into an existing Stakeholder record before navigating to it.
- Create a new Stakeholder record, in any project, adding the name, profile picture and ID from LinkedIn, before navigating to it.
How to install it
- Desktop/laptop: Drag this link >> StratNavApp.com LinkedIn << to your bookmarks bar.
- iPad/iPhone: create a new bookmark and replace the link address with this text
javascript:personNameElement=document.querySelector("a h1");personName=personNameElement?personNameElement.innerText.trim():"";imageElement=document.querySelector("img.pv-top-card-profile-picture__image--show");imgSrc=imageElement?imageElement.src:"";encodedUrl=encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);encodedName=encodeURIComponent(personName);encodedImgSrc=encodeURIComponent(imgSrc);finalUrl=`https://www.stratnavapp.com/reference/LinkedIn?name=${encodedName}&face=${encodedImgSrc}&url=${encodedUrl}`;console.log("Navigating to:",finalUrl);window.open(finalUrl,"_blank");
into it.
Where to find the LinkedIn bookmarklet
You can install the bookmarklet directly into your browser. How and where it appears will depend on which browser you use.
