In e-commerce and prospecting, time is money. Managing your LinkedIn network can quickly become time consuming and eat into your productivity.

In this article we will explore the best LinkedIn automation tools, the benefits of using them and how Emelia can turn your outreach process into an automation pilot.

Creating Prospect Campaigns

Next, click on "Create a Campaign" at the top left (or directly in the center, you'll find the same button) and choose "LinkedIn" in the popup "What type of campaign do you want to create?".

Everything you need for your campaign is there. No need to look around for additional settings; everything you need is right here ! 😎

Statistics

📊 The first block at the top (sometimes hidden, just click "Statistics" above the campaign name in the center) contains all the statistics you need. Once the campaign is launched, click on each statistic to get details on :

• Number of profile views done for you

• Number of invitations sent

• Number of messages sent

• Number of responses received

You can see the exact time these actions were performed, allowing you to know exactly where you stand in your campaign 👀

General Settings

⚙️ The second block contains your campaign's general settings :

• Campaign name

• Geographic sending area

• Sending days

• Sending time range

• An additional option to exclude prospects you’ve already messaged from the campaign.

• 🚩The most crucial field in this section is the number of new contacts per day, which should be 20 if you have a standard LinkedIn account and a maximum of 40 if you have a LinkedIn Premium account.

• Don’t forget to click "Save" once the configuration is done.

Connect Emelia to Your LinkedIn Account 🔗

In the third block of your campaign, connect Emelia to your LinkedIn profile. The initial setup is simple and quick, allowing you to start automating your tasks in minutes. Download the Emelia Google Chrome extension (similar to LinkedIn Sales Navigator data scraping) and follow the steps shown in the GIF:

• Click on "connect a new account"

• Click "automatically retrieve my cookie"

• You’ll be redirected to LinkedIn; if already logged in, you'll be redirected back to Emelia automatically. Otherwise, just enter your LinkedIn email and password, and you’ll be redirected to your Emelia dashboard.

Add Target Contacts📇

With Emelia, you can create targeted outreach campaigns by defining specific criteria for your prospects. Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator’s advanced filters to find and scrape the right profiles, then set up personalized messages for each segment.

🚨 If importing a file you already have, ensure it contains a column with the LinkedIn profile URL of the contact. This URL is crucial for our system to perform automated actions on your target :

During import, match your file's columns with Emelia fields, especially the column containing LinkedIn profile URLs with the "URL" field in Emelia.

Your contact list is now ready to be reached out to ! 🤙

Create Your Custom Sequence 💬

Here, no more simple, choose between different tasks you want Emelia accomplish for you :

• Profile visit

• Connection request

• Connection request with a message (only for LinkedIn Premium accounts)

• Message sending

• Liking the contact's latest post

In the example above, start with a profile visit, followed by a connection request one hour later. If accepted, send a personalized message one hour after that. If there’s no response, follow up 4-5 days later with another message and finally, like the person's latest post a few days later.

Here’s an example of a LinkedIn message sequence :

• First Message : Introduction and value proposition.

• Follow-Up Message : Reminder and additional value points.

As noted earlier, it’s crucial to personalize your message by using variables. Import detailed information such as industry, job title, etc., to use them as variables in your messages, ensuring each message is unique and personalized 🤟.
