Auto-imports: How to scrap automatically leads into Waalaxy?

Auto-imports allow you to automatically populate your campaigns with qualified leads according to a defined condition.

Updated over 4 months ago

Auto-import means new prospects will be automatically imported from a specified source as soon as they are detected. This feature is designed to run your campaigns on complete autopilot. 🚀

⚠️ This feature is available only on the Advanced and Business plans.

There are 5 types of auto-import available:

  1. Sent me an invitation

  2. Visit on profile

  3. Comment on post

  4. Sales Navigator - Saved Search

  5. Sales Navigator - Leads List

When a prospect meets the specified condition, Waalaxy automatically imports them into your list and campaign, initiating the appropriate actions.

☝️ Example

You can set up an auto-import to automatically send invitations to prospects who comment on your LinkedIn post. 😎

How does it work?

When you initiate a campaign with auto-import enabled, Waalaxy retrieves the first batch of leads it detects. After the initial import, the auto-import feature searches for new prospects every 12 hours. ⚙️

☝️ Example

If you've set up auto-import for "Visit on profile", Waalaxy will search LinkedIn every 12 hours to find individuals who have visited your profile and import them into your Waalaxy campaign.

💡 Good to know

Leads already in your Waalaxy interface are not imported, as Waalaxy manages duplicates

How to set up an auto-import?

  1. Click on “Start a campaign” from the quick launch.

  2. Select a sequence.

  3. From "Add prospects", choose "From auto-import".

  4. Select a list where prospects will be added.

  5. Choose the type of auto-import you want. 🔥

Sent me a connection request (with auto-acceptance)

Automatically imports prospects who send you an invitation, accepts the connection request, and sends them a message on LinkedIn.

Visit my profile

Interact with people who have visited your profile and expand your LinkedIn network more quickly.

💡 Good to know

With a LinkedIn Premium account, you can access 100% of profile visits, unlike with a Freemium LinkedIn account.

Sales Navigator - Saved Search

Automatically import prospects from a saved search and new results from Sales Navigator

Sales Navigator - Leads List

In Sales Navigator, you can create a list of prospects to optimize your organisation. Automatically add prospects from a Sales Navigator list.

Comment on post

Gather all individuals who comment on your LinkedIn posts in a list.

☝️ Example

If you want to send content mentioned in your posts to interested individuals in a personalized manner.

🤔 Where can I find the link of the LinkedIn post?

  1. Navigate to the post,

  2. Click the three dots at the top right

  3. Select "Copy link to post."

3 auto-imports options

You can activate or deactivate three options:

1️⃣ Retroactivity: Import prospects from past days or weeks.

☝️ Example

  • You launch an auto-import “comment on a post” on Wednesday, April 3rd.

  • The post was made Monday, April 1st.

  • Waalaxy will import prospects who comment on it on Wednesday, April 3rd, as well as those who commented on it from Monday, April 1st.

2️⃣ Anti-duplication security (only available for Teams): Prevents importing leads already in another team member's app.

3️⃣ Auto-Accept Invitation: For "Sent Me a Connection Request" auto-import, this option automatically accepts invitations and sends queued messages once accepted.

3 use cases 😉

  1. Visited My Profile: Ideal for when someone visits your profile, and you want to reciprocate by visiting theirs and sending an invitation.

  2. Sent Me a Connection Request (with Auto-Acceptance) : Useful for automatically accepting connection requests and sending a welcome message to those who have invited you.

  3. Commented on a Post: Best for sending messages only to connected individuals who share similar interests.

⚠️ Auto-imports include in your campaigns leads regardless of their status: connected, not connected, or pending.

Good to know

  • When using auto-import from a Sales Navigator search within an "Invitation + Message" campaign, prospects who are already connected will be imported into your list but not into your campaign.

  • Waalaxy offers Elysium sequences ("Elysium, Elysium 2.0, and Elysium 3.0") to manage both "connected" and "not connected" statuses. 🔥
