LinkedIn Search to Lead Outreach

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:

• Get it for Chrome

• Get it for Firefox

If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.

You have two options:

1. Process a single search
Type your search term directly into the Phantom's setup, or make your search on LinkedIn, then copy the search URL and paste it into the setup.

2. Process multiple searches
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the LinkedIn search 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. 

Take note: You can append your search URL with &page=x (where x represents a page number) to let the Phantom know which search result page it should start scraping from.

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.

You can attach a file to your message, such as a proposal, white paper, a CV, or a job description. The maximum file size is 20 MB.

Attach a file to your message

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 process all of your inputs and finish its job as fast as possible.

When it's finished, it will switch back to being inactive again. At this point, all of your data will be available in your results files.

You'll be able to keep track of your Flow's actions as they happen using the Flow's dashboard.

Take note: This Flow will not continuously launch - it will pause when all your inputs have been processed. If you'd like to launch it again with new inputs, simply flip the "Enable" switch again.
