How teams use PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Profile Follower Collector Automation

Sales and marketing professionals use the LinkedIn Profile Follower Collector Automation to turn passive followers into active pipeline opportunities.

• Prioritize warm outreach: Identify followers with large networks or relevant job titles, then connect with personalized messages. People who already follow you are far more likely to accept connection requests and engage.

• Build lookalike audiences: Export your follower list and analyze common traits (industries, roles, companies) to refine your ideal customer profile and target similar prospects.

• Monitor competitor engagement: Track who follows you versus competitors. Use this data to understand market positioning and identify prospects considering multiple vendors.

Best practices

Get the most out of this Phantom while staying safe and compliant with LinkedIn's guidelines.

• Mimic human behavior: We recommend using the Automation during working hours and at times when you typically use LinkedIn. Be mindful that it's better to avoid multiple Automations at the same time.

• Respect platform limits: LinkedIn monitors automation activity. Extract followers in moderation and avoid running multiple LinkedIn Automations simultaneously to stay within safe usage patterns.

• Use fresh session credentials: Update your LinkedIn cookie periodically to prevent authentication errors. Expired cookies will cause the Automation to fail.

• Export and enrich your data: Once you've extracted your followers, pair this list with the LinkedIn Activity Extractor to capture recent posts and engagement signals for better qualification.

• Chain with outreach workflows: After identifying high-value followers, feed the list into LinkedIn Outreach to automate connection requests and personalized messaging.

• Track follower growth over time: Run the Automation weekly or monthly to monitor trends and identify spikes in follower activity after content campaigns or speaking engagements.

Limitation: This Phantom extracts followers from your personal LinkedIn profile only. To collect followers of your company page, use the LinkedIn Company Follower Collector instead.

Frequently asked questions

Here are the most common questions about using LinkedIn Profile Follower Collector, from setup and compliance to data quality and integration options.

Where can I learn to set up the LinkedIn Profile Follower Collector?

The LinkedIn Profile Follower Collector tutorial walks you through the complete setup process, including how to extract your LinkedIn cookie and User agent. You'll be up and running in a matter of minutes.

Does this extract real-time follower data or static lists?

This Automation extracts live, up-to-date follower data directly from your LinkedIn profile every time it runs. Unlike static databases that go stale in weeks, you always get the most current list of who's following you, including new followers since your last extraction.

Is it safe to use this automation on LinkedIn?

Yes, when used responsibly. PhantomBuster mimics human browsing behavior and respects LinkedIn's rate limits to keep your account safe. Run extractions during off-peak hours, avoid stacking multiple LinkedIn Automations simultaneously, and read New LinkedIn Limits 2025 to understand safe usage patterns.

How many followers can I extract per run?

There's no hard limit per run, but LinkedIn monitors activity patterns. We recommend extracting followers in batches and spacing out runs to stay under the radar. For ongoing monitoring, schedule weekly or bi-weekly extractions rather than running it continuously.

What's the difference between Profile Follower Collector and Company Follower Collector?

This Phantom extracts followers of your personal LinkedIn profile. The LinkedIn Company Follower Collector extracts followers of your company's LinkedIn page. If you're a personal brand or solo consultant, use this one. If you're managing a company page, use the Company version.

Can I enrich or qualify the followers I collect?

Absolutely. Once you've extracted your follower list, chain it with the LinkedIn Activity Extractor to capture recent posts and engagement signals. You can also use the AI lead qualification playbook to score leads and sync the best ones to your CRM automatically.

Will using this automation get my LinkedIn account restricted?

Not if you follow best practices. LinkedIn flags accounts that perform excessive actions in short timeframes. Run this Automation during off-peak hours, avoid stacking multiple LinkedIn tasks, and respect daily activity limits. Read LinkedIn Account Restricted? Here's How to Fix It to understand what triggers warnings and how to avoid them.

How is this better than manually checking my followers list on LinkedIn?

Manual export isn't an option on LinkedIn, you can only scroll through your followers one by one. This Automation extracts all followers in a matter of minutes, structures the data into a clean CSV, and lets you sort by follower count to instantly identify influencers. It saves hours and gives you actionable data you can analyze, filter, and feed into outreach workflows immediately.

Can I use this data with my CRM or outreach tools?

Yes. Export your follower list to CSV or Google Sheets, then import it into your CRM, email tool, or LinkedIn automation platform. Pair it with LinkedIn Outreach to automate connection requests and follow-ups, or sync qualified leads directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive using PhantomBuster's native integrations.
