LinkedIn Group Members to Emails

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Join Group Inviter Automation lets you send group invitations to your LinkedIn connections at scale. This tutorial covers the essential steps to set up and launch the Automation efficiently.

• Prerequisites: You must be a member of the target LinkedIn Group and have a connected LinkedIn account.

• Input requirements: For best results, inputs must be your 1st-degree LinkedIn connections. Google Sheets must be public ("Anyone with the link").

• Safety limits: Send up to 80 invitations per day on Basic LinkedIn or 150 per day on Premium. The maximum limit per launch is 100.

• Free plan limitations: CSV upload inputs are not supported, and CSV exports include only the first 10 rows.

• Resource usage: This Phantom uses 1 slot.

1. Provide your connections list: Choose your input source: select a saved LinkedIn Leads list, paste a profile URL, use a public Google Sheet, or use results from another Phantom. If using a spreadsheet, the Phantom reads column A by default unless a different column header is specified.

2. Provide the group URL: Enter the LinkedIn Group URL for the group you want to invite connections to.

3. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension (Chrome or Firefox) for one-click connection, or paste your LinkedIn session cookie manually.

   Keep your browser updated; outdated browsers can cause session cookies to expire quickly and require frequent reconnection.

4. Configure how many invitations to send: Set the number of profiles to invite per launch (default 10). Plan multiple launches if needed to reach your target while staying within daily limits.

5. Select launch frequency: Choose to launch manually, schedule repeated runs (e.g., daily), launch after another Phantom, or use advanced scheduling for precise timing.

6. Optional: Adjust advanced settings: Leave default settings unless needed. You can fine-tune execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, and file management here.

7. Launch and review results: Click Launch. After completion, review invited profiles in the Results tab and download the data as a CSV or export to Google Sheets.

You have two options:

1. Process a single group
Copy the group URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

2. Process multiple groups
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the LinkedIn group URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.

Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.

Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup. 

You have two ways to specify how many profiles you would like here:

1. Per group
The number of profiles you'd like to extract from each specific group.

2. Per day
The number of profiles you'd like to be extracted each day, up to 100 per day.
(If the Phantom does not scrape all of the profiles from one search in one day, it will pick up from where it left off the next day.)

Take note: LinkedIn only displays the most recent 2500 members of a group, so the Phantom won't be able to access any more than this for one group.

Turn LinkedIn profiles into full-fledged leads by enriching them with professional email addresses.

How email discovery works:
The service uses each profile’s full name and company name to search for a professional email address, verify it, and return the result.

Choose your enrichment method:
1. Use PhantomBuster credits
Each PhantomBuster plan includes monthly email discovery credits:

• 1 credit = 1 attempt to find and verify an email for 1 profile.

• Credits reset monthly.

2. Use your own third-party service
Connect an external email discovery tool by entering your API key from one of these platforms:

• Dropcontact

• Hunter.io

• Snov.io

Take note: Not every profile will return a verified email address, but this step can dramatically increase your chances of landing in inboxes, not just InMail. It depends on the data available, so your number of emails found may be lower than your credits used.

Tip: To reduce the risk of hitting platform rate limits when using email discovery, process about half of the default daily recommendation for your Phantom. For example, with the LinkedIn Profile Visitor Phantom, aim for 40 profiles per day instead of the default 80.
