Linked Helper is now able to scrape both 'Hiring' and 'Open to work' statuses from a regular LinkedIn search:

Once collected, profiles can be filtered out in any Linked Helper list using corresponding filter:

 

Collecting from Following page

If previously Linked Helper could collect only Followers of your page, then now it is able to collect profiles from the Following page as well: https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/network-manager/people-follow/following/

You can collect profiles whose updates are no longer of interest to you you and unfollow them. Please, note that LinkedIn limit is 1 000 profiles collected from this page.

 

Copy campaign settings across different LinkedIn accounts

If previously it was possible to duplicate a campaign with its settings within one LinkedIn account only, then now a user is able to copy current campaign settings to another LinkedIn account without recreating everything manually: How to duplicate/clone a campaign or copy it to another LinkedIn account?

Please, note that this feature is available only with Multi-campaigns runner plug-in installed.

 

Ignore generic replies plug-in

Ignore generic replies plug-in allows you to set up a list of answers Linked Helper will be ignoring when sending follow-up messages. This action is available for Check for replies as well.

 

 

Send organizations to webhook action

Send organization to webhook action was added into the campaigns created from the Organization extractor campaign template:

 

Manual messages via Linked Helper Inbox

It is now possible to send messages to profiles via Linked Helper Inbox rather than searching for profile in LinkedIn and sending messages from there. Your replies will be sent the same way Linked Helper sends any other automated messages, but the manual replies will have the highest priority - Manual messages in Linked Helper

 

 

Ability to change Linked Helper name and logo

Customers can modify the Linked Helper logo and name to show Linked Helper as their in-house development.

The name of the tool will be changed both in the Launcher and all the added instances.

Note: enabling this option does not provide you with the right to resell Linked Helper licenses, even though you can render sales / marketing services to your clients using the Linked Helper tool with a modified name.

 

Search by email/phone

Every list of profiles in Linked Helper has a filter section. Recently, we added a couple of more extra filters that can make managing profiles much easier. It is possible now to search profiles by their emails/phones or filter out those who do or do not have emails/phones in your Linked Helper database.

This means you can find those leads in the CRM or any campaign list who do not have emails and add them to a new campaign for email search:                                 

 

Direct CRM integrations

We glad to announce that starting from the version #2.38.0 Linked Helper officially supports direct integration with three most popular CRMs among our users: HubSpot CRM, Pipedrive CRM, and Close CRM. For that, Send person to external CRM Action was released.

It can be added after any other Action to send successfully processed profiles into your CRM. You can also send those who replied to your messages into your CRM as well after enabling the corresponding option in the messaging Action or Check for replies.

 

Download stats

Statistics data can help you, your clients or colleagues to assess performance using third-party tools, keep track of changes in a more convenient way, or build custom charts. It is now possible to download the numbers from:

  • Campaigns menu (with Multi-campaigns runner plug-in installed):                          
  • Dashboard menu:                                             
  • Or Statistics / Dashboard tabs of any campaign:                                          

 

Boost post

This action enables you to boost post visibility and engagement on your LinkedIn profile or company page. It can be used to increase the number of views, likes, and comments on your posts through tagged mentions. Tagged mentions spark conversations as people on LinkedIn are instantly alerted to your posts. Select and add individuals who are most relevant to your post's topic to maximize engagement.

Are you an influencer who creates valuable content and wants to grow your page? Let's say you are a job-seeking consultant who knows how to land a job of your dream. You want to turn your page into a thriving community and grow your audience. Creating content is your superpower, but expanding your outreach leaves much to be desired. That's where Boost post feature comes in! After sharing a post about "5 Proven Strategies for Acing Interviews", you can tag key industry players. This triggers personalized notifications for them, inviting them to engage with your content.

 

 

Email Finder credits

Up until the 29th of August, only limited amount of profiles per day could be processed in a Find Profile Emails action with 'LH Email Finder' option enabled. The limit was 20 profiles per day for a Standard license and 100 for a PRO.

Now with a paid license, all credits are assigned to your Linked Helper account balance at once, according to the table below:

Start instance and Campaigns runner on a remote machine

It is now possible to start instance and campaigns on a remote or local machine from a browser or Launcher window.

If you open Linked Helper account in the Launcher, then there can be 4 options available:

  1. Open - open LinkedIn account locally, do not start campaigns.
  2. Open and run campaigns - after instance is opened, Linked Helper will start campaign runner and all the campaigns that were previously active.
  3. Open on remote machine - open LinkedIn account without starting campaigns. Account will be opened not on this PC but on the one where this LinkedIn account was previously active. For example, you run LinkedIn account on your work PC during the week. On weekends, when you open Launcher from home PC, you can start LinkedIn account on your work PC provided that it is still turned on.
  4. Open on remote machine and run campaigns - the same as above but with campaign runner and all the previously active campaigns will be started as well.

 

Collecting followers of your LinkedIn page

As per LinkedIn rules, when you connect with someone, you automatically start follow each other. That is, most of your followers are your 1st-degree connections. It may be important to know who among your 2nd and 3rd-degree connections follows your page. For example, you may want to invite them to your network as those profiles are more likely to accept your invitation.

Now Linked Helper allows you to collect all the profiles from the Followers web page:

You can see followers of your LinkedIn account via this URL: https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/network-manager/people-follow/followers/.

 

Action working hours

A new feature implemented in the Action working hours plug-in allows you to set a custom schedule that affects only certain actions. This could be useful if you need to limit certain activity. For example, Linked Helper should send invitations around the clock since the invitee does not see the time the invite was sent. However, all the follow-up messages must go out only during business hours from 9 AM till 6 PM as it looks suspicious to receive a message from someone in the middle of the night.

 

Leave response unread

When LinkedIn user opens a chat with an unread message, the status of the message is changed to 'Read' because LinkedIn web page sends a 'Mark this message as read' request to LinkedIn server. The same happens when Linked Helper checks for replies or sends messages, as the tool imitates human activity. However, Linked Helper saves all the messages it scrapes in its database and you can view them if you install Inbox plug-in.

Now it is possible to leave the status of unread messages unchanged as Linked Helper can block such requests from a LinkedIn web page to LinkedIn servers. You can do that in the Actions section of the Settings menu in Linked Helper instance:

 

Scrape messaging history

Previously, Linked Helper scraped messaging history only in case the profile was processed in a messaging action and received a message via the tool. Now it is possible to get messages from all the profiles you even interacted with, either manually or automatically via Linked Helper / any other automation tool.

Automatic sent invites canceller

To be on save side and don't fall under LinkedIn shadow ban for inviting, it's important to keep the number of pending invitations below 1500 and constantly delete profiles who haven't accepted your invitation in 2 - 3 weeks.

With Linked Helper, it's It is now possible to automatically cancel unaccepted invitations that have been pending for more than X days. All you need is to:

  1. Install Automatic sent invites canceller for Filter contacts out of my network (keep 1st level only) plug-in
  2. Enable this option in the 'Process pending invites' tab of  Filter contacts out of my network (keep 1st level only) Action in any of your active campaign

Ignore replies option

Previously, a profile was always moved to replied list and out of the workflow no matter whether the reply is relevant or not. It was impossible to return it back for messaging without disabling reply detection in the messaging actions and replace Check for replies actions with Delay between actions.

In some cases, 'Thanks for inviting' or similar messages needed be ignored so person could receive a follow-up message anyway.

The new feature allows you to select those in Replied list who should receive a follow-up and retry them or move to the next messaging action without disabling reply detection and replacing Check for replies.

Linked Helper Inbox

If you send a sequence of messages to a group of people and Linked Helper checks whether they replied then you may find yourself in a difficult situation when all the replies are marked as read in your LinkedIn message inbox. That happens because in order to scrape the messaging history Linked Helper needs to open a chat like a real human being thus all the received messages there are marked as read by LinkedIn. 

mceclip0.png

The Linked Helper Inbox can help you to track replies despite the fact they were “read” by  Linked Helper. Profiles who answered anything important can be tagged and added to another campaign, for example for sending a different follow-up message.

Send person to Snov.io campaign

Linked Helper doesn't have the ability to send emails to your leads from LinkedIn directly. However, with a help of Snov.io integration, you can do that with a little effort. Snov.io is a service that allows you to create your email broadcast campaigns, and Linked Helper is able to send emails of your leads directly to those campaign from its Send person to Snov.io campaign Action of the Workflow.

Find Profile Emails

Find Profile Emails action can use LH email finder or Snov.io integration in order to search for emails of your 2nd/3rd connections. LH Email finder is our service that provides you with LinkedIn leads emails. How does it work? When you connect to a profile, you can scrape its email address and other data like URL, first / last names, etc. For many other our clients your 1st-degree connection is only 2nd or 3rd-degree connection to whom they would like to send an invite. With LH Email Finder it's now possible for anyone to share the data about his 1st-degree connections to get the same information about his 2nd / 3rd-degree connections from other our customers. In other words, you can contribute the data you collected for the ability to get emails of your 2nd / 3rd-degree connections in return to be able to invite them by their email addresses in LinkedIn.

The main advantage of this action in combination with LH email finder is that it doesn't necessarily need to visit a profile to find its email address. It will start visiting the profile only if there is not enough data for email search in the LH Email Finder database.

LinkedIn 100 invites limit hack

UPDATE: since Sept 1, 2023 this feature doesn't work on any LinkedIn account.

Linked Helper can overcome LinkedIn's weekly invitation limit. Using it, you can invite more than 100 profiles a week!

We found LinkedIn undocumented functionality that allows the tool to send the invite even if the limit is reached. For LinkedIn it looks like a glitch when the invitation has failed but then suddenly went through.
