Power your LinkedIn campaigns from A-Z with PhantomBuster. Find prospects, send connection requests, and send targeted outreach campaigns like clockwork.

This LinkedIn automation will help you to:

• Find and extract leads from a LinkedIn search

• Send connection requests with personalized messages

• Auto send a sequence of follow-up messages when your connection requests are accepted

• Cultivate smooth outreach campaigns every day as the Flow runs automatically

All of this takes place in the cloud. So what does that mean for you? It means you don't need to have your browser open or your computer on for it to work. Get your results on autopilot.

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.

How to auto send connection requests and follow-up messages on LinkedIn

This Flow will:

→ Export a list of profiles from a LinkedIn search
→ Send them a connection request
→ Send them a personalized message as soon as you've connected

And it all happens automatically in just a few easy steps:

1. Connect to your LinkedIn account using your session cookie
2. Pre-write & personalize the a connection request message
3. Pre-write & personalize the follow-up message(s) you want to send
4. Launch the Flow and let it run automatically to start sending connection requests and follow-up message sequences

A note about 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.

Why should you automate your LinkedIn lead generation strategy and outreach campaigns?

Prospecting on LinkedIn is easy enough when you simply need to generate leads as an isolated task, but manually following up on your LinkedIn prospecting strategy is not easy to maintain at scale. Every step in the process counts, and there's no reason you can't centralize and perfect each one simultaneously.

1. Find your target audience

Starting by curating the right LinkedIn search is key - make sure you've identified your ideal customer profile so you can fill up your CRM and reach the right people with your sales or marketing pitch.

2. Convert them into connections

LinkedIn profiles are of limited use on their own - by auto connecting with your leads on LinkedIn, you're speeding up the lead generation process by getting your name and company name noticed.

3. Send a message at the most opportune time

When you contact someone whom you've freshly connected with, you're really registering your interest by cementing yourself in their minds. Make the content count by keeping it personal and making your business attractive.

4. Save your precious time

When you're in the thick of lead generation on LinkedIn, using a LinkedIn automation tool to take care of the whole sequence of events allows you to focus on the meaty follow-up with those who are responsive to your outreach. Less time spent laboring, more time to close deals.

With PhantomBuster, you can generate leads on LinkedIn without breaking a sweat.
