HubSpot Contact LinkedIn Outreach

Authorize PhantomBuster to access your HubSpot account. Once you’ve connected your account, you won’t need to repeat this step with other HubSpot Phantoms.

Choose the list of your HubSpot contacts you want to engage with on LinkedIn.

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Auto Connection Remover Automation helps you remove selected LinkedIn connections in bulk. This tutorial covers the main setup steps and important usage guidelines.

• Prerequisites: Requires a connected LinkedIn account and a list of LinkedIn profile URLs to remove.

• Weekly safety limits: Recommended maximum of 80 removals per week for Basic accounts, or 150 for Sales Navigator.

• Input file access: Google Sheets must be shared with 'Anyone with the link'. CSV file upload is available only on paid plans.

• Free plan restrictions: Result exports include only the first 10 rows (no JSON or dynamic CSV links).

• Resource usage: Uses 1 slot. Estimated execution time is approximately 40 minutes per 100 connections.

1. Choose target LinkedIn profiles: Provide profile URLs via a saved PhantomBuster list, a direct URL, a Google Sheet, a CSV file, or results from another Phantom.

   The Phantom reads column A by default; specify the exact column header name in the settings to use a different column.

2. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension (Chrome or Firefox) to connect your session automatically, or manually retrieve your session cookie.

   Keep your browser updated; outdated browsers or user agents cause session cookies to expire quickly.

3. Set profiles per launch: Enter the number of profiles to process per run (default 10) to manage your activity volume.

   You can process a maximum of 100 profiles per launch.

4. Configure launch scheduling: Set the Automation to run manually, at a specific time, repeatedly, or after another Phantom to distribute removals safely over time.

5. Adjust advanced settings (optional): Modify execution limits, proxies, or file management settings only if you have specific requirements; defaults work for most users.

6. Launch and review results: Click Launch to start the process, then view the processed profiles and download the data as a CSV or JSON file once complete.

This section allows you to automatically greet your prospective connections in a personal way with a message of up to 300 characters.

• Write the message of your choice and customize it with a #firstName# placeholder tag. For example: Hey "firstName", let's connect!

• For simplicity, we have added the available placeholder tags underneath the text box, just click on one and it will be added to your text. Add placeholders for messages such as #firstName# or #lastName# into the messages to send personalized messages

• If you type the placeholder tag manually, remember that the tag is case-sensitive, so make sure to write it out correctly!

Take note: With a free LinkedIn account, you might be restricted to 200 characters and 5 personalized invites per month. If your invite message is too long or if you’ve reached your monthly personalized limit, the flow will default to a standard invite with no message.

Take note: Emojis are not handled.

This section allows you to automatically greet your new connections in a personal way with messages of up to 8000 characters on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator.

Setting up your Flow with follow-up messages

1/ Write the message of your choice.
2/ The message will be sent once the user has accepted your connection request.
3/ You can schedule up to 3 more follow-up messages at the time intervals of your choice. These messages are only sent if the recipient does not reply to the prior message—so if a user replies to your message at any point, no further follow-up messages will be sent.

Adding follow-up messages after you set up your Flow
You might want to set up your Flow without follow-up messages to start with and add them later. In that specific case, once you activate the follow-up messages, your Flow will send follow-ups to everyone who hasn't replied to the messages.

Personalizing messages

To personalize your messages, use the placeholder buttons underneath the text box to input placeholders such as #firstName#, #lastName# or #company# in the message. For LinkedIn messages, you can find the available placeholders by clicking on the + sign when "Scrape all available profile data" is checked.

Sales Navigator

Use placeholders to personalize messages on Sales Navigator

Note: The real text replaced by the placeholder will count towards the total character limit, so leave some room for longer names in the message.

Make sure to enable the PhantomBuster activity in your contacts’ Activity Thread.

The flow will then log its events on the contact’s activity thread.
