Sales Navigator Message Sender

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Event Inviter Automation helps you automatically invite your 1st-degree LinkedIn connections to your events. This tutorial covers how to set up and launch the Automation efficiently.

• Requirements: A connected LinkedIn account, a list of 1st-degree connections (not a single profile URL), and an active LinkedIn Event where you are an admin.

• Safety limits: The workflow will not send more than 100 invitations per day; for account safety, spread actions across weekday working hours.

• Input preparation: Google Sheets must be shared as "Anyone with the link" and CSV inputs must be publicly accessible.

• Free plan limits: CSV upload as input is not supported; exports include only the first 10 rows and lack download links or JSON options.

• Execution footprint: This Automation uses 1 Phantom slot.

1. Choose which connections to invite: Provide a list of 1st-degree connections using a saved LinkedIn Leads List, a Google Sheet, or a CSV file. Ensure you use LinkedIn profile URLs for best accuracy rather than names.

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

   Browser maintenance: Keep Chrome or Firefox updated; outdated browsers can cause cookies to expire quickly and require frequent reconnection.

3. Provide your event URL: Paste the LinkedIn Event URL into the Event URL field.

4. Configure behavior: Set the number of profiles to invite per day (leaving this blank defaults to the maximum of 100) and choose whether to send invitations during weekday working hours or randomly.

   Scheduling limitation: Only two timing options are available—weekdays during working hours or randomly; custom schedules are not supported.

5. Optional: Adjust advanced settings: Fine-tune advanced options like execution limits, retries, notifications, and proxies, though defaults are optimized for most users.

6. Launch and monitor results: Toggle the ON/OFF switch to start the Automation and track progress in the Leads and Report tabs.

   Troubleshooting: Some errors may not appear in the dashboard; check the Logs from the workflow’s console page for full details.

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.
