Respecting the rules of the road ensures a smooth experience for everyone. In the same way, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/goals\/automate-responsibly\">automate responsibly<\/a>, you can generate leads ethically and sustainably.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of LinkedIn messages you can automate<\/h2>\n<p>There are several different types of messages on LinkedIn that you can automate. Let&#8217;s break them down.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>LinkedIn connection request message: <\/b>An introductory note accompanying your LinkedIn connection requests.<\/li>\n<li><b>LinkedIn InMails:<\/b> A LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Premium feature that allows you to contact people you aren&#8217;t connected to yet.<\/li>\n<li><b>LinkedIn messages to 1st-degree contacts:<\/b> A LinkedIn message to people you&#8217;re already connected to.<\/li>\n<li><b>LinkedIn messages to group members: <\/b>A LinkedIn message that is sent to members of a group<\/li>\n<li><b>LinkedIn messages to event attendees: <\/b>A LinkedIn message sent to people attending an event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Best practices for LinkedIn message automation without getting your account banned<\/h2>\n<p>Using LinkedIn messaging automation can help you generate leads at scale. However, you must follow four best practices to keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/social-selling\/linkedin-account-types\">LinkedIn account<\/a> safe. Otherwise, your activity might be restricted, delaying your LinkedIn outreach efforts.<\/p>\n<h3>Be mindful of LinkedIn&#8217;s limits<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to LinkedIn message automation, the most important rule is to respect the <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/social-selling\/linkedin-limits\">rate limits<\/a>. This saves you from running too many actions at once. Here are the main LinkedIn messaging limits that everyone should know.<\/p>\n<h4>Automated LinkedIn messaging limits per week<\/h4>\n<p>Here are how many messages you can send per week, depending on your LinkedIn account type.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>For a free LinkedIn account: <\/b>100 messages per week<\/li>\n<li><b>For a paid LinkedIn account: <\/b>150 messages per week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Automated InMail limits per week<\/h4>\n<p>Here are the InMail messaging limits per week or per month, depending on whether you have a Recruiter or LinkedIn Sales Navigator account.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>For a LinkedIn Sales Navigator account: <\/b>10-12 InMails per week (or 50 per month)<\/li>\n<li><b>For a Recruiter Lite account: <\/b>25 Open Profile InMails per week (or 100 per month)<\/li>\n<li><b>For a Recruiter profile: <\/b>200 InMails in the first week, then 1000 InMails per day after that<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Warm up your account before scaling outreach messages<\/h3>\n<p>LinkedIn can detect unusually high activity levels on your account, which could lead to restrictions later on.<\/p>\n<p>For example, it can detect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How active you usually are<\/li>\n<li>The way other people react to your activity<\/li>\n<li>Technical extensions and solutions you&#8217;re using<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For instance, LinkedIn might notice if you don&#8217;t usually message anyone but suddenly send bulk messages to 500 people.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it&#8217;s important to <b>start slowly and gradually build up<\/b> your LinkedIn message strategy. It requires patience, but you&#8217;ll notice the benefits over time.<\/p>\n<h3>Filter audiences to personalize your outreach efforts<\/h3>\n<p>When you automatically send messages, you should always aim for people who fit your target audience. If you send mass messages to the wrong LinkedIn profiles, it could hurt your account in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, when you target people with a genuine interest in your brand, the results will be far more positive. They&#8217;ll be interested in your outreach (and are less likely to mark the messages as spam).<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a &#8220;win-win&#8221; situation for everyone!<\/p>\n<h3>Automate engagement first for better LinkedIn outreach results<\/h3>\n<p>Before launching targeted messaging campaigns, focus on engaging with relevant profiles first. It&#8217;s much more human and likely to get a positive response.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Like or comment on recent posts of relevant LinkedIn users<\/h4>\n<p>Instead of sending personalized messages right away, start by liking and\/ or commenting on your target audience&#8217;s LinkedIn posts. This helps you build a rapport before launching a full outreach campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you can use LinkedIn automation software to engage in just a few clicks, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/16227\/linkedin-auto-liker\">LinkedIn Auto Liker Phantom<\/a> or the<a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/16226\/linkedin-auto-commenter\"> LinkedIn Auto Commenter Phantom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Follow LinkedIn users<\/h4>\n<p>You can follow their profile once you&#8217;ve engaged with someone&#8217;s post. This means you&#8217;ll already be a familiar face before appearing in their inbox.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could use the <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/6874\/linkedin-auto-follow\">LinkedIn Auto Follow Phantom<\/a> to follow a list of profiles on autopilot.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Send automated connection requests and then a message<\/h4>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve set the tone, you can send connection requests to your leads. By now, they should recognize your LinkedIn profile and be more likely to accept your request.<\/p>\n<p>Once they join your LinkedIn network, you can send personalized messages right away, such as with the <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/9227\/linkedin-message-sender\">LinkedIn Message Sender Phantom<\/a>.<br \/>\nThis is much more natural than messaging strangers; you don&#8217;t have to worry about connection request message limits. Even with a free LinkedIn account, you can easily send 100 connection requests plus 100 DMs every week.<\/p>\n<h2>Your step-by-step process to automate LinkedIn messages<\/h2>\n<p>Ready to use automation tools for your LinkedIn campaigns? Here&#8217;s everything you need to know to build a LinkedIn prospecting workflow.<\/p>\n<h3>Build lists of relevant profiles<\/h3>\n<p>Remember, you should only be messaging people who match your target audience. This means you need a list of LinkedIn profiles that fit the brief.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Pro tip:<\/b> Finding the right profiles to messages can be much easier with Sales Navigator.

This will vary depending on which software you use, but here&#8217;s a general workflow you can follow.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to start with a lead list. If you don&#8217;t have one, check the ideas we mentioned above on how to create one. In most cases, you should be able to use the same tool to build your lead list and automate message automation.<\/p>\n<p>Then, make sure you are connected to those people on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not, you can automate a connection request with a message using an <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/phantombuster\/4545709793535249\/linkedin-outreach\">outreach campaign.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the leads that are your 1st-degree connection, you can simply automate LinkedIn messages to your entire list.<\/p>\n<p>For example, here&#8217;s a preview of a personalized message using PhantomBuster&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/9227\/linkedin-message-sender\">LinkedIn Message Sender Phantom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once the message is scheduled, you can view your progress in real-time on LinkedIn. Here are the results of this particular message, featuring first names as a personalization tag.<\/p>\n<h3>Set limits to scale your outreach campaigns safely<\/h3>\n<p>Most importantly, don&#8217;t forget to stick to the rate limits when automating your messages.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a free account, you should send no more than 100 messages per week to your 1st-degree connections. If you have a Sales Navigator or Premium account, you can go further.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your limits are, make sure you include them in your automation settings to avoid overdoing it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Bonus tip: <\/b>Some tools, such as PhantomBuster, let you set up shared <a href=\"https:\/\/support.phantombuster.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360018084700-Creating-a-Shared-Workspace\">workspaces<\/a>.
