Import Leads from a Prompt use cases
Describe your ideal lead in one sentence and Derrick turns it into a Sales Navigator search, then imports the matching profiles into Google Sheets - name, title, company, industry, tenure, location and LinkedIn URL. No filter menus to click through.
- Fast list building: go from an idea of your ICP to a real lead list without touching a filter menu.
- Testing a new segment: rewrite the sentence, run again, compare the two lists.
- Territory expansion: the same persona in a new country, in a single edit.
- Recruiting: describe the profile you want to hire and get the shortlist.
Use Import Leads from a Prompt via the API
Import Leads from a Prompt isn't tied to the Google Sheets sidebar. Every Derrick enrichment - this one included - is also exposed through the REST API and the MCP server, so you can run it from your CRM, your data pipeline, an AI assistant, or any no-code tool (Zapier, Make, n8n). Same credit cost as the add-on, same data. API access is included from the Standard plan up.

"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."
"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."
"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."
"Super easy to enrich linkedin urls using this tool. Both personal and company url data can be easily enriched with a click of a button."
"Amazing Tool, I would like to advocate this to my colleagues. So that you can get more users. Keep it Up. 5 Stars!"
"This app is fantastic. Brilliantly created to help small and mid sized businesses."
"I have been using other expensive apps or freemium like phantombuster, but Derrick has replaced them all. I love the simplicity of the Google sheet add-in, but what is best is the efficiency it delivers."
"The LinkedIn scraping and email finder combo is incredibly powerful. I can build a complete prospect list with contact info in under an hour. Absolute must-have for outbound."
"Have tested over 10+ LI scraper apps, Derrick beats them all. Simple to use, accurate data, and affordable price."
A Sales Navigator search is a dozen filter menus, and you only find out you got it wrong once the results load. Derrick removes that step: you write who you are looking for in one sentence, "CTOs in companies with 100-500 employees in Spain", and it builds the search for you, runs it on your own LinkedIn session, and writes every matching profile into a new tab of your Google Sheet. Name, job title, company, industry, tenure, location, connection degree and LinkedIn URL, one lead per row.
Because the target is a sentence, iterating costs nothing: rewrite it, run it again, compare the two lists. From there, enrich the imported profiles with verified emails and mobiles, and push the qualified rows straight to your outreach tool. A connected LinkedIn account with a Sales Navigator seat is required. 1 credit per lead, and the free plan gives you 100 credits every month, no card. See the Derrick pricing page.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything to use Import Leads from a Prompt?
Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Import Leads from a Prompt is one of the workflows available from the Derrick sidebar inside any Sheet. The same feature is also available via REST API and via the Derrick MCP server for Claude / ChatGPT.
Can I use Import Leads from a Prompt on a list of 1,000+ rows?
Yes - Import Leads from a Prompt runs as a batch job inside Google Sheets, with progress tracking and per-row credit accounting. The workflow scales linearly: 10 rows or 10,000 rows, the steps are identical and you can step away while it runs.
Where does the data behind Import Leads from a Prompt come from?
Derrick aggregates 10+ public-data sources (LinkedIn graph, company websites, registry data, web crawl, third-party providers) and runs a multi-source lookup for Import Leads from a Prompt. The first source that returns a confident match wins; if no source is confident enough, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.
Is Import Leads from a Prompt GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Derrick only enriches public data, doesn't store personal records beyond the duration of the lookup, and supports full deletion on request. The Sheets add-on runs inside Google's OAuth-protected environment so your data stays private to your account.
Can I trigger Import Leads from a Prompt automatically when I add a row?
Yes - set up a Google Sheets onEdit trigger (Apps Script, takes 2 minutes) so a new row in column A automatically runs Import Leads from a Prompt into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
