LinkedIn Search to Outreach

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Search to Outreach Automation lets you find and contact targeted LinkedIn profiles automatically. This tutorial shows how to set up and launch your Workflow for effective outreach.

• Requirements: A connected LinkedIn account and a valid LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search URL.

• Plan limits: Free plans allow 200-character connection messages and 5 personalized invites per month; Premium plans allow 300 characters and unlimited personalized invites.

• Safety limits: LinkedIn allows roughly 100 invites per week. PhantomBuster recommends sending 20 invites per weekday.

• Slot usage: This Workflow uses 1 slot.

1. Choose which profiles to invite: Copy a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search URL for your target audience and paste it into the Workflow’s source input.

2. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension to connect in one click, or manually retrieve your session cookie. Keep your browser up to date to maintain session validity.

3. Customize your connection request message (optional): Enable the message option and write your text using placeholder tags. If skipped, invitations are sent without a message.

   Formatting: Emojis and hyperlinks are not supported. Placeholder tags count toward the character limit.

4. Write and schedule follow-up messages: Schedule up to three follow-up messages with delays (0–15 days). Messages are sent only if the connection is accepted and there is no reply.

   Attachments: Files up to a combined total of 20 MB are supported for follow-up messages.

5. Choose how many invites to send per day: Set your daily invitation limit (default is 20). Actions are spread throughout your workday in your timezone.

6. Adjust Advanced settings (optional): Leave advanced options at default unless instructed. Options include execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, webhooks, and file management.

7. Launch the Workflow: Toggle the ON/OFF switch to start. The Automation will extract profile URLs and begin processing.

   Scheduling: This Workflow automatically spreads actions throughout the day based on your timezone; launch settings are not customizable.

8. Filter extracted leads and start outreach: Use Outreach queue filters in the Workflow console to refine leads, then toggle on outreach to send invites and follow-ups automatically.

9. Track performance: Monitor key metrics such as invites sent, accepted, and replies to optimize your messaging.

   Timing: For 10–20 leads, full processing (export, invites, follow-ups) typically takes 5–15 minutes.

10. Pause, edit, or delete as needed: Use your Dashboard to pause, edit, or delete the Workflow.

    Troubleshooting: Some errors may not appear in the Dashboard; open Logs from the console for detailed diagnostics.
