Add a simple LinkedIn button to Your QuickBase Sales/CRM Application

By | Posted on

You can enhance your QuickBase Lead Tracking, Sales and CRM applications by adding a LinkedIn button that does intelligent lookups into LinkedIn. Frequently we call people and companies and we wished we knew more about who we are calling. Try adding a simple button to your application QuickBase. QuickBase will pass the company and contact’s name to LinkedIn for a quick lookup.

linkedinresult

All you need to do is add the following to a new Formula URL field:

“http://www.linkedin.com/search?search=&sik=1178917462007&keywords=”&URLEncode([Name]&”+”&[Company])

If you only have “First Name” and “Last Name”, modify the link so it reflects your usage. Like this:

“http://www.linkedin.com/search?search=&sik=1178917462007&keywords=”&URLEncode([First Name]&”+”&[Last Name]&”+”&[Company])

Right-click and add the link to your button

We talk about things like this in many of our 10 weekly live webinars. All are welcome whether you want to ask questions or just watch.

    Thanks Kirk!

    Got me thinking about whether we can replicate this for Twitter. It’s not perfect, but it works!
