The Extract Contacts feature allows you to quickly extract contact information from external resources like LinkedIn, TheOrg, or other platforms. This powerful tool saves hours of manual data entry by converting copied text into actionable contact data.
How It Works
Navigate to Your Resource:
Open the platform containing the list of contacts (e.g., LinkedIn search results, TheOrg’s organizational charts).
If the platform does not support direct exports (e.g., CSV files), simply highlight and copy the desired text containing contact information.
Paste and Extract:
Paste the copied text into the textbox in the Extract Contacts tab.
Right-click and select “Extract the Contacts from the Input Box” or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E.
The system will process the pasted data and populate the Contacts Tab with the details available.
Actions and Shortcuts
From the Context Menu:
Extract Contacts (Ctrl+Shift+E):
Extracts contact details from the pasted text and sends them to the Contacts Tab.
Clear Input Box (Ctrl+Shift+9):
Clears all text in the input box for a fresh start.
What Happens Next?
After extracting the initial details, the contacts are available in the Contacts Tab, where additional actions can be performed, like enriching the data with complementary information such as:
No need to manually copy and paste individual fields; extract hundreds of contacts at once.
Streamlines Workflows:
Automatically organizes extracted data into a structured format.
Supports Networking:
Enables easy outreach by quickly populating your contacts database.
Example Use Case: Building a Targeted Contact List

Tired of spending hours crafting tailored applications? With MyJobOutreach, you can extract job details, generate personalized scripts, and send polished applications in just a few steps. Here’s how.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Extract Job Details
Streamline the process of gathering job details:
From the Extract Job Tab, Copy and Paste the job description into the input box or paste the job URL directly.
Click Extract the Job From the Input Box
The extracted details will automatically populate the Job Details Table in the Outreach Tab.
💡 Pro Tip: Extraction based on job URLs is an experimental feature. Check the FAQ to learn more about Experiemental Features.
Step 2: Add Relevant Contacts
After extracting job details, the source may already include relevant contacts. These will automatically populate the Contact Details Table in the Outreach Tab.
If no contacts are found:
From the Company Details Table in the Outreach Tab, search for the company using:
Alt+O to search the company in TheOrg.
Alt+L to search the company in LinkedIn.
Once you’ve identified the company, right-click the Contact Details Table and select Extract Contacts or press Ctrl+Shift+E.
Paste the source containing the relevant contacts in the textbox that will pop-up, just like you would do in the Extract Contacts Tab and click “OK”.
Step 3: Enrich Contact Information
Before generating outreach scripts, make sure the contact details are complete. Use the Enrich Data feature to gather missing information, such as work emails, phone numbers, or LinkedIn URLs:
In the Contact Details Table, select the rows you want to enrich.
Right-click and choose:
Enrich Data for All Selected Rows (Ctrl+Shift+R) – Enriches data for the highlighted contacts.
Enrich Data for All Empty Work Email Rows (Ctrl+Shift+Y) – Enriches data only for the contacts where the work email is missing.
💡 Pro Tip: The contact enrichment feature requires the SalesQL or TheOrg API’s, ensure your API key is configured in the Settings Tab.
If enrichment isn’t possible or doesn’t yield results:
Use Search Contact in LinkedIn (Ctrl+Shift+L) or Search Contact in TheOrg (Ctrl+Shift+O) to manually gather information.
Use the Suggest Emails feature:
Suggest Emails for the Selected Contact(s) (Ctrl+Shift+Q) – Suggests potential email addresses for the selected rows.
Suggest Emails for All Empty Work Emails Rows from the Selected Contact (Ctrl+Shift+W) – Suggests emails only for contacts without an email address.
Step 4: Generate Personalized Scripts
Choose a Job Application Template from the dropdown in the top-right corner of the Outreach Tab.
You may also select a personalized script tailored to the role, contact, or company.
Generate outreach scripts:
Click Generate Outreach Scripts for All Contacts (Ctrl+Shift+S) or Generate Outreach Scripts for Selected Contacts (Ctrl+Shift+K).
The generated scripts will appear in the Outreach Scripts Table.
Step 5: Fine-Tune Your Scripts
Personalization is key to making your outreach stand out. MyJobOutreach allows you to easily customize scripts for maximum impact:
Rephrase or Regenerate:
Right-click on any cell in the Outreach Scripts Table and select Rephrase Selected Cells (Ctrl+Shift+P), Regenerate Outreach Script Row (Ctrl+Shift+Z) or Regenerate Outreach ScriptCell(s) (Ctrl+Shift+F).
Manual Edits:
Click into any script field and manually adjust the text to make it even more personalized.
Assign Different Scripts to Different Contacts:
You can select unique templates for specific contacts and regenerate scripts for them individually.
💡 Pro Tip: Use placeholders in your scripts to make bulk personalization easy and efficient. Click here to learn more about the placeholders available.
Step 6: Generate a Tailored Cover Letter
Right-click the job entry in the Job Details Table and select Create Cover Letter (Alt+Shift+C).
A tailored cover letter is automatically generated based on your profile and the job description.
To make edits:
Adjust as needed, and convert it to PDF using the Convert Cover Letter to PDF option (Alt+Shift+F).
The updated Cover Letter Paths (Word and PDF) will be saved automatically and included in the outreach.
Step 7: Send Your Personalized Emails or InMails
Once your scripts and cover letter are ready, it’s time to send your outreach:
From the Contact Details Table, click on the relevant email column (e.g., 1st Email Date, 1st InMail Date, or follow-up date).
Right-click and select Send Email (Ctrl+Shift+M).
This action will:
Open the email in Outlook with the personalized subject line and body.
Automatically attach the tailored cover letter and resume.
Review the email content and click Send to finalize your outreach.
