LinkedIn Post Engagers to Lead Outreach

Select the LinkedIn source where your ideal prospects are already engaging, this can be:

• A LinkedIn company page

• A LinkedIn profile page

• A LinkedIn post

• A LinkedIn post search

The source can be from your competitors, partners, industry leaders or even your own pages. These are high-intent touchpoints where potential leads are already active.

After selecting the source, choose the type of data you want to extract from it. You’ll see checkboxes allowing you to select:

• Likers: people who reacted to the post

• Commenters: people who left a comment on the post

You can tick one or both boxes depending on the kind of engagement data you're looking for.

Use AI help you find leads that match your ideal target audience.
You can apply filters based on:

• Job title: target the right decision-makers

• Location: focus on your ideal market

• Industry: reach out to relevant businesses

This step is optional, but it’s a great way to make your outreach more relevant and effective.

Use the drop-down menu to select your own or a teammate’s LinkedIn account:

Make your connection requests stand out by adding a short, friendly message (up to 300 characters). This step is optional but a personalized note helps build trust and increases your chances of connecting with leads.

1. Tick the “Customize your LinkedIn connection request message” box to open the message composer.
2. Write a natural, conversational message. Keep it short and simple.
3. Use dynamic placeholders to personalize your message instantly. Just click to insert!
Customize your message based on how someone engaged with a post:
You can reference the exact way someone engaged with a post using the following placeholders:

• #reactionType# which describes how the lead interacted: liked, loved, enjoyed, commented on, celebrated, supported. If a lead interacted multiple times (e.g. both liked and commented), we’ll use the most recent one.

• #postAuthorName# which inserts the full name of the person whose post they engaged with. If the post author is a company, it will display the company name.

Example: Hey #firstName#, I noticed you #reactionType# #postAuthorName#’s recent post, I thought it made some great points. Would love to connect!

Note: Reaction types are standardized and always appear in English.

This feature works if you have Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Premium. With a free LinkedIn account, you might be restricted to 200 characters and 5 personalized invites per month.

Keep the conversation going with up to 3 personalized follow-up messages, automatically sent after your invite is accepted. Just set the timing, PhantomBuster takes care of the rest.
This step is optional.

How to set it up:

1. Tick the box: “Schedule a first follow-up message” to open the message composer
2. Use the “Send 1st follow-up after at least” dropdown to choose when your message should be sent
3. Write your follow-up message. Keep it relevant and personal.
4. Want to send more? Tick “Schedule a second follow-up message” and repeat the process. You can schedule up to 3 follow-ups total, which are only sent if the person has not replied.

You can adjust at any time. Start without follow-ups and add them later. Once enabled, messages will go to everyone who has not responded yet.

Make your messages personal

Boost your response rate by using custom placeholders to tailor your message.

• Available placeholders: #firstName#, #lastName#, #company#

• Click on a placeholder below the text box to insert it instantly.

Example: Hey #firstName#, great connecting! I’d love to hear how you're tackling [pain point]. Let’s chat!

Remember, the right message at the right time = more responses.

We recommend sending 20 invites per working day as LinkedIn has a limit of 100 per week. You want to mimic your automations with how you would normally use LinkedIn to look as natural as possible.

The working hours are determined based on the timezone your account is set to.

The Advanced settings allow you to customize your Phantom’s behavior before launching. These settings are optional and can be adjusted based on your goals.

• Set limits:
  - Define execution time: Enter how long (in minutes) the Phantom should run per launch, up to 300 minutes.
  Example: Enter “30” to stop the Phantom after 30 minutes.
  - Set retry attempts: Enter how many times the Phantom should retry a launch if it fails, up to 10.
  Example: Enter “3” to allow 3 retries.
  

• Enable email notifications:
  - Choose whether to receive email alerts for successful and/or failed launches.
  

• Set up a proxy
  - Use a proxy to run your Phantom from a consistent IP address.
  Note: Proxies are turned off by default, enable and configure one if your use case requires it.
  

• Add webhooks
  - For Slack: Paste a Slack webhook URL to send notifications to a Slack channel.
  - For other tools: Use a custom webhook URL to connect with your API or external systems.

When you are ready, click the toggle to turn your workflow on.

Now you are presented with the results from your scrape, this is the first part of your workflow.

At this stage, you have the option to filter your results using the “Outreach queue filter." This lets you fine-tune your lead list to better match your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
(This step is optional but helpful for more targeted outreach.)

Once you're happy with your filtered list, it's time for the second part: launching your LinkedIn outreach.
Just toggle it on, and PhantomBuster will take it from there.

You’re all set, time to start connecting!
