Sales Navigator Message Sender

Tutorial

  1. Connect to LinkedIn using PhantomBuster's browser extension

    This automation acts on your behalf on LinkedIn. The safest and most efficient way for the Phantom to connect to your account is by using your session cookie, which you can retrieve using PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a simple 2-click installation:

    If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.

  2. Give the URLs of the Sales Navigator profiles you're interested in

    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.

  3. Write and customize your message

    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.

  4. Attach a file to your message

    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.

  5. Specify the number of profiles to process per launch

    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.

  6. Sending InMails

    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.

  7. Set the Phantom on repeat

    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.
