  1. How to use the LinkedIn Auto Connection Remover

    PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Auto Connection Remover Automation helps you remove selected LinkedIn connections in bulk. This tutorial covers the main setup steps and important usage guidelines.

    • Prerequisites: Requires a connected LinkedIn account and a list of LinkedIn profile URLs to remove.

    • Weekly safety limits: Recommended maximum of 80 removals per week for Basic accounts, or 150 for Sales Navigator.

    • Input file access: Google Sheets must be shared with 'Anyone with the link'. CSV file upload is available only on paid plans.

    • Free plan restrictions: Result exports include only the first 10 rows (no JSON or dynamic CSV links).

    • Resource usage: Uses 1 slot. Estimated execution time is approximately 40 minutes per 100 connections.

    1. Choose target LinkedIn profiles: Provide profile URLs via a saved PhantomBuster list, a direct URL, a Google Sheet, a CSV file, or results from another Phantom.

      The Phantom reads column A by default; specify the exact column header name in the settings to use a different column.

    2. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension (Chrome or Firefox) to connect your session automatically, or manually retrieve your session cookie.

      Keep your browser updated; outdated browsers or user agents cause session cookies to expire quickly.

    3. Set profiles per launch: Enter the number of profiles to process per run (default 10) to manage your activity volume.

      You can process a maximum of 100 profiles per launch.

    4. Configure launch scheduling: Set the Automation to run manually, at a specific time, repeatedly, or after another Phantom to distribute removals safely over time.

    5. Adjust advanced settings (optional): Modify execution limits, proxies, or file management settings only if you have specific requirements; defaults work for most users.

    6. Launch and review results: Click Launch to start the process, then view the processed profiles and download the data as a CSV or JSON file once complete.

  2. Connect to lemlist using your API key & choose your campaign

    To take action on your behalf, this Phantom needs to access your lemlist account. To do this, it needs your lemlist API key. Here's how to find it:

    • Go to the settings in the top left of your account

    • In the left sidebar menu, select Integrations

    • Copy your API key and paste it into the relevant field of the Phantom's setup

    For more detailed instructions, check out this lemlist article.

    Then specify the name of the lemlist campaign you would like to migrate the profile data to. This field is case-sensitive, so be careful to write the name exactly as you see it.

  3. Give the URLs of the LinkedIn searches you're interested in

    You have two options:

    1. Process a single search
    Type your search term directly into the Phantom's setup, or make your search on LinkedIn, then copy the search URL and paste it into the setup.

    2. Process multiple searches
    Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the LinkedIn search 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. 

    Take note: You can append your search URL with &page=x (where x represents a page number) to let the Phantom know which search result page it should start scraping from.

  4. Enrich your leads with verified professional email addresses

    Turn LinkedIn profiles into full-fledged leads by enriching them with professional email addresses.

    How email discovery works:
    The service uses each profile’s full name and company name to search for a professional email address, verify it, and return the result.

    Choose your enrichment method:
    1. Use PhantomBuster credits
    Each PhantomBuster plan includes monthly email discovery credits:

    • 1 credit = 1 attempt to find and verify an email for 1 profile.

    • Credits reset monthly.

    2. Use your own third-party service
    Connect an external email discovery tool by entering your API key from one of these platforms:

    Take note: Not every profile will return a verified email address, but this step can dramatically increase your chances of landing in inboxes, not just InMail. It depends on the data available, so your number of emails found may be lower than your credits used.

    cb email discovery step

    Tip: To reduce the risk of hitting platform rate limits when using email discovery, process about half of the default daily recommendation for your Phantom. For example, with the LinkedIn Profile Visitor Phantom, aim for 40 profiles per day instead of the default 80.

  5. 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.
