LinkedIn Outreach

Overview

Create a LinkedIn outreach strategy with connection request, introduction message, and up to three follow up messages. All your outreach needs in one place!

What you give

  • LinkedIn cookie
  • LinkedIn profiles
  • See all 3

What you get

  • Profile Url
  • First Name
  • + 26 More

The LinkedIn Outreach Flow allows you to send connection requests with an introduction message, and up to three follow-up messages once the connection request has been accepted.

  • Send connection requests to leads based on a Profile List

  • Send an introduction message along with your connection request

  • Automatically send up to three follow-up messages after your connection request has been accepted

Follow-up messages are only sent if the receiver has not answered your previous messages.

Understanding LinkedIn limitations

LinkedIn implements different limitations for different users and may be running AB tests on certain features. We have noticed that some users may be limited to only 200 characters in their invitation messages, instead of the previous 300 characters. We recommend trying out your character limitations in a manual connection request before setting up the Phantom.

LinkedIn is also limiting the number of connection requests that can be sent with a message, where some users are limited to only 5 connection requests with a message per month. The limitations depend on your LinkedIn account, users with LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator accounts have higher limits than free LinkedIn users.

Take note: The maximum input limit for flows to behave optimally is 5000 profiles. When using a spreadsheet as input, this counts as two search URLs for a Navigator account or five search URLs for a regular LinkedIn account.

What’s the difference between the LinkedIn Outreach Flow and other LinkedIn Flows?

The LinkedIn Outreach Flow combines the abilities of the LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection, and the LinkedIn Search to Lead Outreach Flows. The LinkedIn Outreach Flow can both send connection requests with an introduction message, and send follow-up messages after the connection has been accepted. There’s no longer any need to separate these moments into two different Flows.

The LinkedIn Outreach Flow combines the capabilities of the LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection and LinkedIn Search to Lead Outreach in one place.

The LinkedIn Outreach Flow allows you to send connection requests with or without introduction message and follow-up messages.

Our legacy LinkedIn Flows does either or:

Note: We will slowly be phasing out the LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection and LinkedIn to Lead Outreach Flows in favor of the LinkedIn Outreach Flow. If you’re using one of the other two in your current automations, we recommend you start migrating your campaigns into the new Flow.

How many slots will be used by this Flow?

The LinkedIn Outreach Flow uses two slots on your Dashboard. Flows are combinations of Phantoms, in this case, a connection request, and message outreach, which is why the Flow uses more than one slot.

Why should I use PhantomBuster to automate my LinkedIn Outreach?

We know that there are many tools out there to automate your LinkedIn outreach. In fact, PhantomBuster even has a few Phantoms that make connecting with those tools super easy. However, we believe there are a few reasons why using PhantomBuster for both gathering leads, and creating your outbound campaign is beneficial.

1. Keep all your outreach in one place

By using only one tool, it’s easier for you to have an overview of how much you’re automating on LinkedIn, and there’s less risk for you that your account accidentally hits any rate limits.

2. Run a campaign on autopilot

PhantomBuster automates your own account, which means that whatever you ask the Phantom to do, it will do as if it was done manually. This means that when you send a connection request, the Phantom visits the profile of the user you’re connecting to, and they’re notified of you having seen their profile.

All this happens automatically and emulates the way a real user would interact with LinkedIn. With PhantomBuster, you get a fully automated outreach campaign without having to think about all the details.
