Sales Navigator Auto Connect

PhantomBuster’s Sales Navigator Auto Connect Automation helps you send personalized LinkedIn connection requests at scale with Sales Navigator. This quick guide covers the main setup steps and key safety guidelines.

• Safety limits: LinkedIn limits connection requests to 100 per week. We recommend sending 20 invitations per working day, spread across multiple launches (e.g., 2–5 per launch).

• Email discovery: If enabled, halve your daily invitation volume to maintain safety. 1 credit equals 1 attempt per profile.

• Free plan restrictions: CSV exports are limited to the first 10 rows; CSV uploads and JSON exports are unavailable.

• Browser requirements: Use the PhantomBuster extension on Chrome or Firefox to auto-detect your user agent and prevent cookie expiration.

• Profile type: This Phantom requires Sales Navigator profiles. For standard profiles, use the LinkedIn Auto Connect Phantom.

1. Choose which Sales Navigator profiles to invite: Select your input source: pick a saved LinkedIn Leads list, paste profile URLs, provide a Google Sheet, or use results from another Phantom.

   Google Sheets must be shared with 'Anyone with the link' to be accessible.

2. Connect your Sales Navigator account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension and connect your Sales Navigator session, or manually add your LinkedIn session cookie if not on Chrome or Firefox.

3. Write and customize your connection request message: Enter your message (up to 300 characters), using placeholder tags for personalization.

   The 300-character limit applies to the final message after placeholders expand. Emojis and clickable hyperlinks are not supported. Do not use the #message# tag.

4. Configure connection limits and behavior: Set the number of invitations per launch (recommended 2–5) and adjust advanced options like dwell time simulation or profile image extraction.

   Photo export is limited to 1,000 images per ZIP.

5. Enrich leads with professional emails (optional): Choose PhantomBuster credits or a third-party service to discover emails. Enter your API key if needed.

   Email discovery increases execution time; performance may slow down when enabled.

6. Select launch frequency: Set the Phantom to run manually, once at a specific time, on a schedule, after another Phantom, or with advanced scheduling for precise timing.

7. Adjust advanced settings (optional): Fine-tune limits, retries, notifications, proxies, webhooks, and file management as needed. Defaults work for most users.

8. Launch and review results: Click Launch, then check the Results tab to view, download, or export your collected data.
