Setup summary
Here's a tutorial to help you set up the LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection Flow:
Connect to LinkedIn using PhantomBuster's browser extension
This automation acts on your behalf on LinkedIn. The safest and most efficient way for the Phantom to connect to your account is by using your session cookie, which you can retrieve using PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a simple 2-click installation:
If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.
Specify where to extract the profiles you want to auto send invites to
You have three options of where to extract your target profiles from:
A LinkedIn search URL
A Sales Navigator search URL
A LinkedIn group URL
Once you've chosen your input type, you can choose to process a single URL or multiple.
1. Process a single URL
Copy the input URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.2. Process multiple profiles
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the URLs of the same input type 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.
Write and customize your connection request message
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.
Launch your Flow
Last but not least: turn on your Flow. By default, your Flow is inactive. Simply "Enable" it:
Once you have, it'll launch automatically at the best times with one goal in mind: to finish its job as fast as possible.
Keep track of your Flow's actions as they happen using the Flow's dashboard - the "Performance" tab will help you visualize your progress, whilst the "Connections" tab will break it down profile by profile.
