You'll learn how to: Connect your LinkedIn profile (yours, not contacts') so Nynch can do relationship strength analysis grounded in your real network.
Time: 2 minutes.
Prereqs: A LinkedIn account. This is your personal LinkedIn, not the Chrome extension for capturing contacts.
Why connect
The Chrome extension captures contacts FROM LinkedIn. This separate connection is about YOUR profile: who you are, what your network looks like, what positioning you've claimed publicly. Nynch uses it to:
- Calculate relationship strength scores based on connection signals.
- Detect overlap between you and your contacts (mutual connections, shared groups, common employers).
- Inform AI-drafted email tone (LinkedIn bio shapes your authority claim).
- Surface dormant connections worth reactivating.
If you skip this, AI features still work but relationship scoring is less accurate.
Steps
- Open Settings (gear icon, bottom-left).
- Click the Profile tab.
- Scroll to the Relationship Intelligence card. The card has a Brain icon and a description: "Enable AI-powered relationship strength analysis and touchpoint insights".
- Click Connect LinkedIn Profile.
- Walk the LinkedIn enrichment dialog. The flow typically asks for your LinkedIn URL or signs you in through LinkedIn OAuth.
- Confirm. Nynch fetches and indexes your profile.
Once connected, the card shows an Enabled badge in the header, and the button changes to Update LinkedIn Profile.
What gets fetched
- Your headline, current job, location.
- Your work history (used as authority context).
- A summary of your connections (counts, industries, locations). Nynch does not store individual connection details from this step; the Chrome extension is for individual contact capture.
- Public posts you've made recently (used for tone).
Update later
If your LinkedIn changes (new job, new headline, you publish significant new posts):
- Open Settings > Profile > Relationship Intelligence card.
- Click Update LinkedIn Profile.
- The flow re-runs and pulls the latest data.
A small "Last researched" timestamp on the card tells you when the data was last refreshed.
See the Relationship Intelligence report
Below the Connect / Update button, the Relationship Intelligence Report section shows what Nynch learned about you:
- Your authority signals.
- Your network composition (by industry, by region).
- Your touchpoint patterns (how you actually engage with your network historically).
Use it to spot-check that the AI is grounding in the right things.
If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "Relationship Intelligence card isn't there." → Fix: Your plan may not include it. Check Settings > Account.
- Symptom: "Connect button greyed out." → Fix: Reload the page. The button can fail to enable on slow page loads.
- Symptom: "Connection completes but the Enabled badge doesn't appear." → Fix: Refresh the page. The badge updates on next data load.
- Symptom: "I want to disconnect." → Fix: Look for a Disconnect action on the card's more-actions menu. Disconnecting clears the indexed profile data from Nynch.
Privacy
- Nynch fetches data from your LinkedIn profile that's visible to you while signed in.
- Nynch does NOT share your LinkedIn data with teammates by default.
- Nynch does NOT do anything visible to your connections (no auto-messaging, no auto-likes).
- You can disconnect any time and the indexed data is removed.
