Sales Navigator Message Sender

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Post Likers Export Automation lets you extract the profiles of users who liked specific LinkedIn posts. This tutorial outlines the essential steps to set up and launch the Automation efficiently.

• Extraction limit: LinkedIn only displays up to 3,000 likers per post; the Phantom cannot extract beyond this limit.

• Input requirements: Google Sheets must be shared with "Anyone with the link," and CSV files must be publicly accessible (paid plans only).

• Free plan limitations: Exports are limited to the first 10 rows (CSV only); dynamic CSV links, JSON exports, and CSV input uploads are unavailable.

• Performance: Estimated processing time is 25 seconds per 900 likers; uses 1 execution slot per run.

• Compatibility: This Phantom does not send data to the LinkedIn Leads page.

1. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension and connect your LinkedIn session in one click, or retrieve your session cookie manually if not using Chrome or Firefox.

   Keep your browser updated; outdated versions can cause session cookies to expire faster, requiring frequent reconnection.

2. Provide LinkedIn post URLs: Paste a single post URL, or provide a Google Sheet or publicly accessible CSV containing a list of post URLs.

   The Phantom uses the first column (A) by default; enter the exact column header name if your URLs are located elsewhere.

3. Control how many posts are processed: Optionally enable duplicate removal or Watcher mode, and set the number of posts to process per launch (leave empty to process all).

   Running too many posts in one launch may force frequent session cookie refreshes.

4. Configure result file settings (optional): Set a custom results file name or list specific fields to keep in the final output.

   Renaming the results file between launches creates a new file and restarts processing from the first input.

5. Select launch frequency:

   Choose to launch manually, schedule a one-time or recurring run, or trigger the Phantom after another Automation finishes.

6. Adjust advanced settings (optional):

   Leave defaults unless needed; you can fine-tune execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, and file management.

7. Launch and retrieve results: Click Launch to start, then review the collected data in the Results tab to download as CSV/JSON or export to Google Sheets.

   Output fields include: profileLink, name, firstName, lastName, occupation, degree, reactionType, and companyUrl.

You have two options:

1. Process a single profile
Copy the Sales Navigator profile URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

2. Process multiple profiles
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the Sales Navigator profile 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.

This section allows you to automatically greet your leads in a personal way with a message of up to 8000 characters.

Write the message of your choice in the text box. To personalize your messages, use the placeholder buttons underneath the text box to input placeholders such as #firstName#, #lastName# or #company# in the message.

You can still type the placeholder tags manually, but remember that the tag is case-sensitive, so make sure to write them out correctly!

Hey #firstName#, let's chat!

Take note: Emojis are not handled by this Phantom.

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

Choose how many profiles you want this automation to process each time it runs. This helps you control your usage and stay within platform limits.

To send a message to a user who you're not connected with, if the user is also not a Premium user and therefore doesn't have their profile "Open" to messages, you will need to use one of your InMail credits.

If you'd like the Phantom to be able to use your credits to send InMails to profiles when required, you should check the "Send InMail messages" option. Make sure you have enough credits left on your Sales Navigator account before doing this.

If you do so, you'll need to give your InMail message a subject, otherwise the Phantom will not be able to send it.

Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!

This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.
