**Watch: how to automate LinkedIn outreach in 2 minutes**

**Before you start:** have a LinkedIn account you use regularly, and either a CSV of prospects or a LinkedIn / Sales Navigator search URL.

---

## Step 1. Connect LinkedIn (2 minutes)#

1. Open **Settings → Accounts**.
2. Click **Connect LinkedIn**.
3. Sign in to LinkedIn in the secure window and approve any check LinkedIn asks for (code, app approval).
4. Wait until the account shows **Healthy**.

Note

On the free trial, LinkedIn connects once autopay is set up for the trial. Until then the LinkedIn card shows **Choose a plan** instead of **Connect LinkedIn**. See [Your 7-day trial](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/getting-started/create-account/#3-your-7-day-trial).

→ Details: [Connect LinkedIn](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/connect-accounts/linkedin/)

## Step 2. Connect email (optional, 3 minutes)#

To add email steps, connect a mailbox in **Settings → Accounts**:

- **Custom SMTP / IMAP.** Works with most mail providers. The trial includes one.
- **Gmail / Outlook.** One-click sign-in with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Needs a paid plan with an email seat.

Multichannel includes one email seat, and Agency / Team one per seat. Each email seat holds one mailbox: SMTP/IMAP, Gmail or Outlook, whichever you connect. Paid Starter is LinkedIn-only.

→ Details: [SMTP/IMAP](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/connect-accounts/smtp-imap/) · [Gmail](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/connect-accounts/gmail-google-workspace/) · [Outlook](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/connect-accounts/outlook-microsoft-365/)

## Step 3. Import prospects (3 minutes)#

1. Go to **Prospects** and click **Import**.
2. Under **Add to list**, choose a list or create one, for example *"UK SaaS founders – Sept"*.
3. Pick a source:
   - **CSV / Excel.** Upload the file and map its columns.
   - **LinkedIn search** or **Sales Navigator.** Pick the **LinkedIn account** to import with and paste the search URL.
   - **Post comments.** Pick the **LinkedIn account** and paste a LinkedIn post URL.
   - **Chrome (LinkedIn).** Export people from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator searches with the Prosyo Chrome extension.
4. Click **Import** and wait for **Import complete**: how many were added, updated, skipped and failed.

## Step 4. Create the campaign (4 minutes)#

1. Go to **Campaigns → New campaign**.
2. Name it and pick **Use a template → LinkedIn connect & follow up**, then click **Create & open builder**. (Or choose **Generate with AI** and describe your campaign in one sentence. See [one-click campaigns and AI](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/campaigns/one-click-templates-and-ai/).)
3. On the **Sequence** tab, edit each step. For example:
   **Connection request note** (optional, 300 characters max):
   Text
   ```
Hi {{first_name|there}}, I work with {{title}}s at SaaS companies on outbound. Would be good to connect.
```
   **LinkedIn message** (sent after they accept):
   Text
   ```
Thanks for connecting, {{first_name|there}}. Quick question: how is {{company_name}} booking meetings with new accounts today?
```
4. Click **Preview with a real person** to see exactly what one person will receive.

→ Details: [Sequence steps](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/campaigns/sequence-steps/) · [Variables](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/campaigns/variables-personalization/)

## Step 5. Add the audience (1 minute)#

On the **Audience** tab, click **Add prospects**, pick the list from Step 3 under **Prospect list** and click **Enroll list**. Prosyo shows how many people were enrolled. People marked Do not contact are left out automatically, and the launch review counts anyone missing an email or LinkedIn URL under **Exclusions and data gaps**.

→ Details: [Audience and enrollment](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/campaigns/audience/)

## Step 6. Set sending limits (1 minute)#

On the **Sending & safety** tab:

1. Under **Sending accounts**, pick your account in **LinkedIn accounts** (and in **Email accounts** if you use email steps). You can add up to 10 accounts per channel to share the work.
2. Under **Daily limits**, pick a preset: **Cautious** for a new or quiet LinkedIn account, **Recommended** otherwise. Then click **Save limits**. It appears as soon as you pick a preset or change a number, and nothing changes until you click it.
3. Check **Working hours**: timezone, start and end time, and days. These save as you change them.
4. Leave **Turn off remaining steps when they reply** on.
5. Optionally turn on **Cancel an invitation if not accepted till** and set the days, for example 14.

→ Details: [Sending limits and safety](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/campaigns/sending-limits-safety/)

## Step 7. Launch (1 minute)#

Click **Review & launch**. The review shows your audience, sending accounts and a preview with a real person. Fix anything under **Fix before launching**, read anything under **Worth knowing**, then click **Launch campaign**.

Your campaign status changes to **Running**. Prosyo spreads actions across your working hours, so you can close the tab.

## Step 8. Handle replies#

When someone replies:

- The rest of their sequence stops (while **Turn off remaining steps when they reply** is on).
- The conversation appears in **Inbox**.
- You get a [notification](https://prosyo.com/pt/docs/inbox/notifications/) in the bell.

Reply from Inbox and move the prospect to **Interested** or **Meeting** when the conversation is real pipeline.
