Zingler is no longer active; zingler.io is empty, and xingler.io, the second address of the same tool, redirects to Expandi, a LinkedIn tool. If you were looking for Zingler to message contacts on XING, this is your tool: ZingBot pulls the list from TalentManager, sends the message and follow-ups in your own XING account and stops as soon as someone replies. The first 7 days are free.
What stays, what goes
Zingler came from the makers of Expandi, who also called it Xingler: a cloud platform for XING premium accounts with multi-step campaigns, follow-ups, personalised messages with images, audience selection, campaign statistics, an inbox with chat and CRM integration, plus a white-label dashboard for agencies running several client accounts. ZingBot does the campaign part of that, for recruiters: list from TalentManager, follow-ups with salutation, title and last name, stop on reply, no double contact within the team. White label, CRM integration and client accounts are not part of ZingBot; you invite colleagues under Settings → Team, and the search happens in TalentManager or in XING itself.
What you get
- The list comes from TalentManager. Paste the URL of the search or the project, done. Without a TalentManager licence you use the standard XING import.
- Write the message and follow-ups once. With salutation, title and last name as placeholders. ZingBot works the list inside your own XING account.
- Stop on reply. Whoever replies gets no further follow-up. In the end you only talk to the people who answered.
- No double contact within the team. At import you skip profiles you or anyone on your team has already contacted.
Moved in ten minutes
Create an account, connect your XING account, import the list, keep your message texts, set up the follow-ups, start. The first 7 days cost nothing; after that 135 € a month per seat, one seat is one XING account. How the import looks is on Automate XING TalentManager; what it pays back, in the ROI calculator.
XING limits
ZingBot works in your real XING account, so XING’s limits and security checks for that account apply, as when clicking by hand. What that means day to day is in Is XING automation safe?
Questions about switching from Zingler to ZingBot
Does Zingler still exist?
No. Zingler is no longer active; zingler.io shows an empty page, and xingler.io redirects to Expandi, a LinkedIn tool. Anyone who ran XING campaigns with it gets the outreach with ZingBot.
Zingler or Xingler: what is the difference?
None. It was one product with two names and two domains: zingler.io carried the name Zingler, its makers called it Xingler. Today neither address is a tool: zingler.io is empty, xingler.io redirects to Expandi.
What did Zingler do, and does ZingBot do it too?
Zingler offered campaigns with follow-ups, personalised messages, audience selection, campaign statistics, an inbox, CRM integration and a white-label dashboard for agencies. ZingBot does the outreach: candidate list from TalentManager, message and follow-ups with salutation, title and last name, stop on reply, inside your own XING account.
What does ZingBot not do that Zingler did?
White-label dashboard, CRM integration and campaigns for client accounts. ZingBot is built for recruiters working their own candidate list; colleagues join under Settings → Team, and the search happens in TalentManager or in XING itself.
Zingler came from the makers of Expandi. Does Expandi do XING now?
No. Expandi automates LinkedIn and email; XING does not appear in the product. For a XING list you need a tool that works in XING, and that is ZingBot.
How do I switch from Zingler to ZingBot?
Create an account, connect your XING account, pull the list from TalentManager or through the standard XING import, keep your message texts, set up the follow-ups, start. The first 7 days cost nothing.
What does ZingBot cost?
ZingBot Pro is 135 € a month per seat, 405 € a quarter or 1,500 € a year; the first 7 days are free. One seat is one XING account.
Does ZingBot import from XING TalentManager?
Yes, from a search or a project in your own TalentManager. It needs a TalentManager licence in your XING account. Without one you use the standard XING import.
Do XING's limits still apply with ZingBot?
Yes. ZingBot works in your own account, so XING's limits for contact requests and messages and XING's security checks apply. You answer a check yourself in XING; ZingBot does not get around it.
How much time does ZingBot save?
Up to 12 hours a week per employee when messaging and following up a list otherwise run by hand. That is a ceiling, not an average.
