How does LinkedIn Automation work?

LinkedIn Automation is a powerful tool designed to streamline and enhance your networking efforts on the LinkedIn platform. This allows QuickMail users to seamlessly send LinkedIn connection requests and send LinkedIn messages to leads you've connected with.

How to add a LinkedIn account

To add a LinkedIn account, go to Channels ā†’ LinkedIn ā†’ +Add

You will need the following info to set up your LinkedIn account:

  • Country

You need to specify which country your LinkedIn is assigned to when you created the account.

  • Cookies from your LinkedIn account

To get the cookies from LinkedIn, go to this link and install the extension on your browser.

Once the extension has been added, go back to your LinkedIn profile and click the cookie Icon.

Doing so will copy the cookies of the page.

If you don't see the Cookie icon on your browser, please click the puzzle icon and it should show all extensions you have on the browser.

Note: Logging out of your LinkedIn account will invalidate your LinkedIn cookies. When that happens, we won't be able to send LinkedIn connection requests. To avoid that, you can close the LinkedIn window but avoid logging out of the account.

How to add lead's LinkedIn information?

The LinkedIn account can be added manually or in bulk by importing the leads.

Note: If the leads are scraped from a tool, most of the time they assign unique URL IDs to leads for LinkedIn, so they are different from the actual lead's LinkedIn Profile URL ID which we don't support at the moment.

Here's the correct format and where to get the lead's LinkedIn Profile URL ID:

  • Manually adding lead's LinkedIn ID

To manually add LinkedIn info to a lead, just head List ā†’ click on a lead ā†’ from quickview, click on + show properties and add the LinkedIn account.

  • Bulk-adding leads' LinkedIn IDs

To bulk-add leads' LinkedIn IDs, simply go to your CSV/Google sheet and add a LinkedIn column.

Then, upon importing leads, you can map your LinkedIn column with the LinkedIn property in QuickMail.

šŸ’”Pro tip: If your leads are already in the account, make sure to check the box "Update lead if it exists" when re-importing leads. If this checkbox is not checked, your leads and updates will be rejected to prevent duplicates.

How to assign a LinkedIn account to a campaign?

To assign a LinkedIn account to a campaign, just go to the Campaign ā†’ Channels ā†’ LinkedIn Tab ā†’ Toggle a LinkedIn account on

šŸ’” Pro tip: You can assign as many LinkedIn accounts as you need to the campaign.

How to create a LinkedIn Step?

How can I change the daily limits of my LinkedIn actions?

Go to Channels ā†’ LinkedIn ā†’ Select a LinkedIn account ā†’ Sending tab ā†’ LinkedIn actions limit and throttling

You can update the action limits in settings. While we recommend not exceeding 12 actions per day to avoid LinkedIn restrictions, our system does not have a maximum cap. Each LinkedIn account may have different limits. For more details, click here.

How can I check the account for new connections?

QuickMail automatically scans for new connections once a LinkedIn account is linked. This is done only once every 24 hours.

However, If you'd prefer not to wait for the automatic check, it's also possible to manually check the account for new connections but can only be done 12 hours after the last check.

To do this, go to Channels ā†’ LinkedIn ā†’ Select a LinkedIn account ā†’ Receiving tab ā†’ Scroll down the page and press "Sync Now".

How to reauthenticate a LinkedIn account?

Logging out of the LinkedIn account invalidates LinkedIn cookies, preventing the sending of connection requests in QuickMail.

If the account loses permission, a warning appears in Settings on the LinkedIn page, and an email notification is sent to the account owner.

To re-authorize the LinkedIn account, log in to the LinkedIn account, open the LinkedIn account settings, and update the Cookies. (See how to add LinkedIn account for steps)

How to delete a LinkedIn account?

To delete a LinkedIn account, go to Channels ā†’ Select a LinkedIn account ā†’ Click on the three vertical dots ā†’ Delete

FAQs


Can I send a LinkedIn message to people Iā€™m not connected with?

No, LinkedIn doesn't allow sending messages to people you're not connected with unless your LinkedIn account has InMail credits, which require a premium LinkedIn subscription.


What will happen if I try sending a LinkedIn message to people I'm not connected with?

The lead's status in a campaign will encounter an error, and the sequence will stop.


Can I send emails and LinkedIn messages in the same campaign?

Yes, you can send both from the same campaign. However, if the lead hasn't accepted your LinkedIn connection request, it may cause delays since campaigns operate linearly. In that case, it's best to create separate campaigns for LinkedIn and email outreach.


My LinkedIn account keeps on disconnecting, why is that?
