LinkedIn Join Group Inviter

PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Join Group Inviter sends group invitations to your 1st-degree connections in bulk, using a simple Google spreadsheet and safe daily limits. Set it on repeat mode and invite connections to your group every day. No coding required, ready to run in minutes.

Check out the Tutorial for step-by-step setup.

Important: LinkedIn does not offer a native way to invite multiple 1st-degree connections to a group at once. This Phantom automates that process safely and efficiently, respecting LinkedIn's daily limits.

What you give / What you get

You provide a list of your LinkedIn connections. PhantomBuster delivers group invitations to those profiles automatically, keeping your group active and growing.

Note: The Google spreadsheet must be publicly accessible via a shareable link for the Phantom to read it. You must also specify the LinkedIn group link where profiles will be invited.

What you can automate with the LinkedIn Join Group Inviter

Here's what PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Join Group Inviter Automation can do automatically for you:

• Send bulk group invitations: Invite your 1st-degree connections to join your LinkedIn Group in batches.

• Schedule daily invitation runs: Set it on automatic and invite connections to your group every day.

• Track invitation results: Export a CSV with profile URLs and names of invited connections.

• Respect platform limits: Send group invitations to 80 profiles per day or 150 if you have a LinkedIn premium account.

• Build from existing lists: Input profile URLs directly from Google Sheets or combine with other Phantoms.

Perfect for community managers, LinkedIn group admins, and sales teams building engaged audiences around shared interests.

Best practices

Get the most out of this Phantom while staying safe and compliant with LinkedIn's guidelines.

• Respect daily invitation limits: Send group invitations to 80 profiles per day or 150 if you have a LinkedIn premium account. These limits help you stay compliant and protect your account from restrictions.

• Only invite 1st-degree connections: This Phantom works exclusively with your existing connections. You cannot invite 2nd- or 3rd-degree profiles to join a LinkedIn Group through PhantomBuster.

• Use a publicly accessible Google spreadsheet: Make sure your Google Sheet is set to "anyone with the link" so the Phantom can read your profile URLs without permission issues.

• Schedule repeat mode for steady growth: Set the Phantom to run every day and build your group membership gradually without triggering LinkedIn's safety filters.

• Pair with connection-building workflows: Use the LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection Flow to expand your network first, then invite new connections to your group.

• Know what this Phantom cannot do: Creating a group conversation is not possible through PhantomBuster. That feature is supported directly on LinkedIn but not available via automation.

Safety tip: Always check LinkedIn's latest limits before launching high-volume campaigns. Staying within daily thresholds keeps your account in good standing.

How to set up the LinkedIn Join Group Inviter

The Phantom takes a list of LinkedIn profile URLs as input. If you need to collect the profile URLs of your connections first, use the LinkedIn Connections Export Phantom. Once you've got your list of profile URLs, you're ready to go.

Step-by-step setup

1. Add LinkedIn profile URLs to a Google spreadsheet. In the first column, paste the LinkedIn profile URLs of the connections you want to invite.

2. Make the spreadsheet public. Click "Share," then "Get shareable link," and set the access permissions to "anyone with the link."

3. Copy-paste the spreadsheet link. Use this link as the input for your Phantom.

4. Specify your LinkedIn Group link. This is where these profiles will be invited to join.

5. Launch your Phantom or set it on repeat mode. Let it run daily to grow your group consistently.

Ready in minutes. No coding, no technical setup.

How to leverage the LinkedIn Join Group Inviter

As a business, having an active LinkedIn Group helps you connect with your customers, share insights, and build a community around your brand. While LinkedIn does allow you to create LinkedIn Groups, it doesn't provide a native way to send group invitations to multiple 1st-degree connections at once. PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Join Group Inviter solves this by automating the process of inviting your connections to a LinkedIn Group in bulk.

Note: Creating a group conversation is supported directly on LinkedIn but is not possible through PhantomBuster.

To message members within an existing LinkedIn Group, we recommend using the LinkedIn Group Member Message Sender. It lets you send personalized messages to group members individually.

1. Collect the LinkedIn profile URLs to invite

Here are several ways you can gather the perfect list of profiles to invite to join your LinkedIn Group:

• Use the LinkedIn Search Export Phantom to export profiles from a LinkedIn search on your connections.

• Use the LinkedIn Connections Export Phantom to export all your connections.

• Optional: Filter the connections you want to invite in a spreadsheet based on job title, company, or location.

Bonus tip: Try the LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection Flow to expand your connections automatically, then invite them to your LinkedIn Group.

2. Batch invite your connections to your LinkedIn Group

You can now set up the Phantom using the URLs you previously collected. You can send them straight to your LinkedIn Group and grow your audience there over time. Set it on repeat mode to invite new connections every day.

Exceeding LinkedIn's limits can trigger warnings or temporary account restrictions. If you've received a warning, check out this guide on LinkedIn automation tool warnings to understand why it happened and how to avoid future issues. Always stay within the daily limits and use repeat mode to spread invitations over time.

Can I use this Phantom to create group conversations on LinkedIn?

No. Creating a group conversation is supported directly on LinkedIn, but is not possible through PhantomBuster.

Which PhantomBuster automations work well with the LinkedIn Join Group Inviter?

This Phantom pairs well with several other automations to create a full group-building workflow. Start with the LinkedIn Connections Export to gather your connections, or use the LinkedIn Search Export to target specific profiles.

Does the LinkedIn Join Group Inviter require a premium LinkedIn account?

PhantomBuster automates this process safely, respecting daily limits and allowing you to schedule repeat runs. You can invite connections every day without manual clicking, freeing up your time to focus on engaging with group members and creating valuable content. Try it free to see how much time you save.
