LinkedIn Automation Tool

An Apify actor that automates sending connection requests and messages via LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It uses profile URLs to target prospects, helping you export and act on Sales Navigator data within your sales workflow.

Key Features

• Automated Outreach: Sends connection requests or personalized messages to LinkedIn Sales Navigator profiles.
• Bulk Processing: Accepts a single profile URL or a list of URLs for efficient, multi-prospect targeting.
• Data Integration: Facilitates the export of Sales Navigator list data for use in CRMs or other sales tools.
• Cookie-Based Authentication: Uses a session cookie from your logged-in Sales Navigator account to operate.

How to Use

Prerequisites & Setup

1. Get Profile URLs: You need the Sales Navigator profile URLs of your target prospects. You can manually compile these or use the LinkedIn Sales Navigator Search Scraper to gather them.
2. Provide Authentication Cookie:
   • Log into LinkedIn Sales Navigator in your browser.
   • Use a browser extension like "EditThisCookie" to export your session cookies.
   • Paste the exported cookie string into the actor's Cookie input field.

Execution Steps

1. Input Data: In the actor's input, provide your list of target Sales Navigator profile URLs and a personalized message.
2. Run the Actor: The actor will process each URL sequentially.
3. Action: For each profile, it navigates to the page and sends either a connection request or your provided message.

Usage Recommendations

To avoid LinkedIn's spam detection and account restrictions:

• Limit Volume: Aim for a maximum of ~20 connection requests per day on average. Stay well under LinkedIn's weekly cap.
• Personalize Messages: Generic messages are more likely to be rejected or flagged. Always customize your outreach.
• Monitor Activity: Check your LinkedIn account regularly for any warnings. If you receive one, pause or significantly reduce automation activity.
• Start Slow: Begin with a low daily request count (e.g., 5-10) and gradually increase it over time.

Input/Output

Input (via Apify input schema):
* cookie (String, Required): Your LinkedIn Sales Navigator session cookie.
* profileUrls (Array of Strings, Required): One or more LinkedIn Sales Navigator profile URLs to target.
* message (String): The personalized message to send with the connection request.

Output:
The actor outputs a dataset containing the results of each operation, typically including the profile URL processed and the status (e.g., "Request sent", "Failed"). This data can be viewed in the Apify console or exported for further use.
