Filtering & views that make LinkedIn usable

The moment your network becomes valuable, it also becomes messy. Contactful gives you fast filtering and clean views so you can focus on the right segment: a shortlist for a role, a deal stage list, your “follow up this week” people — without spreadsheet chaos.

What “views” look like in practice

Below are realistic views you’d use daily — each view is just filters (tags) + progress (pipeline stage).

View example: Recruiting shortlist

Tag: backend
Tag: uk
Stage: Interview
Alex M. — Senior Backend Engineer
High-signal: fast reply • hybrid • start in 4 weeks
backend uk Interview
Kasia P. — Platform / DevOps
Wants ownership • prefers product teams • referral
backend uk Interview
Marek S. — Staff Engineer
Strong architecture • open to contract-to-hire
backend uk Interview
Outcome: you can instantly export this shortlist (only these filters) to share with hiring managers or ATS.

View example: Sales follow-ups this week

Tag: fintech
Tag: mid-market
Stage: Follow-up
Jordan K. — RevOps Lead
Trigger: new role • wants clarity on pipeline
fintech mid-market Follow-up
Sofia R. — Head of Sales
Asked for 2 case examples • next: book 15 min
fintech mid-market Follow-up
Tom A. — Founder

FAQ

Filtering & views — common questions

Quick answers for setting up clean workflows.

What is a “view” in Contactful?
A view is simply a focused list: filters (tags) + progress (pipeline stage). Example: “backend + UK + Interview stage” or “fintech + Follow-up stage”.
Should I filter by tags or pipeline stage?
Use tags to define the segment (role, market, priority, type). Use pipeline stage to define what to do next. Together they create daily “work views”.
Can I export exactly what I see in a view?
Yes — exports work with filtering, so you can export only the contacts matching your tags and pipeline view. See: Export LinkedIn contacts.
Where do tags come from?
Tags are your own custom labels. Start small (5–10 core tags), then expand when needed. See: Tagging LinkedIn contacts.
Can I keep views private?
Yes — Contactful is designed to be local-first. Your data is stored locally on your device. Learn more: Local-first.
