Contacts You Can Message
You can send up to 100 messages a day to your 1st connections level contacts. This limitation is per account, therefore make sure to spread this number across all your campaigns that contain follow-ups.
LinkedIn limitations vary per account as they depend on how old the account is, the account's reputation, posts, engagement, and other activity.
Allowed Message Types
From an existing contacts campaign, you can only send follow-up messages.
Create a new Existing Contacts Campaign
Go to your Campaigns section
Click on Add new campaign
Select Existing Contacts Campaign and click NEXT
Add the name of the campaign and a description (optional). This information will only be displayed to you, contacts added to your campaign won't be able to see this information.
The next step would be deciding if you would like the campaign to drop a like in one of the contact's posts, visit the profile, or endorse their top 3 skills. You can select each as a first step or prior to each step. We recommend selecting no more than two at a time.
| What it means | Campaign behavior |
As a first step | The action runs as the very first step of the campaign. | The campaign visits the profile → likes the latest post → endorses skills, then continues with the rest of the campaign. |
Prior to each step | The action repeats before every subsequent action in the campaign. | The campaign visits the profile or likes the latest post → sends the follow-up. It then repeats this sequence (visit profile/like latest post) ahead of each following action. |
6. Add your follow-up messages. You can add as many follow-up messages as you want.
6.1 You can create a brand-new template, or add an existing one.
NOTE: Hyperlinks are not supported in follow-up messages.
6.2 In an Existing Contacts campaign, when you set up a message to be sent X days after, this refers to how many days you want the follow-up message to be sent after you have added contacts to your campaign.
Example: if a contact was imported into the campaign on July 20th, setting the "send after" value to 1, will send the follow-up on July 21st.
NOTE: If you want to start sending messages immediately, set this to 0.
7. Set up the schedule that you want your campaign to work on and click NEXT.
NOTE: the minimum interval that a campaign can run on is 3 hours.
8. Check the setup summary, make sure everything is correctly set up & click CREATE.
