Workflow Ideas to Get You Started
PhantomBuster Automations become more effective when combined into Workflows. Here are proven examples to help you get started in minutes.
Workflow example: Clean up pending invites and free up your queue
LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor → Google Sheets → LinkedIn Auto Invitation Withdrawer

Sales reps and prospecting teams who send high volumes of connection requests and need to maintain a clean, active invitation queue.
How to build it
Export all sent requests using the LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor with sent dates and invitation messages.
Filter the exported list in Google Sheets for requests older than 30 days with no acceptance.
Feed the filtered list to the LinkedIn Auto Invitation Withdrawer to remove stale invites automatically.
Outcome
Your pending invitation queue stays clean, freeing up capacity for new, targeted outreach while staying within LinkedIn's connection request limits.
Workflow example: Analyze invitation performance and refine targeting
LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor → LinkedIn Connections Export → LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor → Google Sheets-> AI
Why this works
By comparing sent requests against accepted connections, you can calculate your invitation acceptance rate by industry, job title, or message variant. This data helps you refine targeting and improve messaging for higher conversion rates.
Who it's for
Sales managers, RevOps teams, and ABM strategists who need data-driven insights to optimize LinkedIn prospecting campaigns.
How to build it
Run the LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor to export all sent invitations with custom messages and dates.
Export your current connections using the LinkedIn Connections Export.
Match both lists in Google Sheets to calculate acceptance rates by segment (industry, title, message type).
Use AI to analyze message performance.
Use the insights to adjust targeting filters and refine invitation messaging for future campaigns.
Outcome
You gain clear visibility into which targeting criteria and messaging approaches drive the highest acceptance rates, enabling continuous optimization of your LinkedIn prospecting strategy.

Best practices
Get the most out of this Phantom while staying safe and compliant.
The LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor accesses data directly from your LinkedIn account, so it requires your LinkedIn cookie. This ensures you're pulling real-time information about every connection request you've sent, not outdated static lists.
Stay within LinkedIn's limits. LinkedIn allows up to 100 connection requests per week for free accounts and up to 200 per week for Premium accounts. Track your sent requests regularly to avoid hitting these thresholds and triggering account warnings. Read more about LinkedIn's 2025 limits and how to scale safely.
Pair with follow-up workflows. The real power comes when you match extracted sent requests against your LinkedIn Connections Export to identify accepted invites, then automate welcome messages using the LinkedIn Message Sender. Or, use the ready-made LinkedIn New Connection Welcome Message Flow to handle everything automatically.
Download results regularly. Export your CSV results file after each run to track invitation performance over time and refine your targeting strategy.
Tip: If you receive a LinkedIn automation warning, pause your Phantoms, review your activity limits, and restart at a slower pace. PhantomBuster is designed to keep you safe, but staying within LinkedIn's guidelines is your responsibility.
Frequently asked questions
Here are the most common questions about using LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor, from setup and compliance to data quality and workflow integrations.
Where can I learn how to set up this Automation?
Start with the LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor tutorial, which walks you through installing the PhantomBuster extension, connecting your LinkedIn account, launching the Phantom, and downloading your CSV results. The entire setup takes less than 5 minutes.
What data does this Automation extract from my sent LinkedIn connection requests?
It exports profiles data including profile URL, first name, last name, and job title, plus messages attached with the invitations and the date when you sent the invitations. You'll receive Profile Url, First Name, and + 9 More data fields for every request, all structured in a CSV file ready for analysis or CRM import.
Does this Automation pull fresh, real-time data or outdated lists?
It extracts fresh, real-time data directly from your LinkedIn account using your LinkedIn cookie and user agent. Unlike static databases that go stale quickly, this Automation captures the exact state of your sent connection requests at the moment you run it, including any messages you attached and the exact dates you sent each invite.
Is using this Automation safe and compliant with LinkedIn's policies?
Yes, when used responsibly. This Phantom accesses data you've already generated (your sent connection requests), staying within LinkedIn's acceptable use guidelines. To keep your account safe, avoid sending connection requests too quickly and stay within LinkedIn's 2025 connection limits (100 per week for free accounts, 200 per week for Premium). If you ever receive a LinkedIn automation warning, pause your Phantoms and reduce your activity pace.
Can I use this Automation to automate follow-up messages to accepted connections?
Not directly, but it's the first step in a powerful workflow. After extracting sent requests, match them against your current connections using the LinkedIn Connections Export Phantom to identify who accepted. Then, schedule welcome messages with the LinkedIn Message Sender Phantom. Or, save time with the ready-made LinkedIn New Connection Welcome Message Flow, which handles all these steps automatically.
How does this Automation compare to manually tracking sent invitations on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn lets you view pending connections manually, but that's time-consuming and doesn't export data for analysis. This Automation extracts everything in seconds, including custom messages and sent dates, then structures it in a CSV file you can use to calculate acceptance rates, clean up old invites, or trigger follow-up workflows. It's faster, more accurate, and scalable for high-volume prospecting.
Can I automatically withdraw old, unanswered LinkedIn connection requests?
Yes. First, use this Automation to export all your sent requests and identify old invites with no response. Then, use the LinkedIn Auto Invitation Withdrawer to clear your pending queue automatically. This frees up space for new outreach and keeps your connection strategy fresh. Learn more in our guide on how to automatically withdraw LinkedIn invitations.
How do I avoid LinkedIn account restrictions when using automation tools?
Stay within LinkedIn's rate limits, avoid mass connection requests, and personalize your invitations. Use this Automation to monitor your outreach pace and prevent over-sending. Read our guides on LinkedIn's 2025 limits and how to fix a restricted LinkedIn account if you run into issues. PhantomBuster is built to keep you safe, but responsible usage is key.
