How to create an existing contacts campaign

Edited

Message Limits

You can send up to 100 messages per day to your 1st-degree connections. This limit applies per account, so it’s best to distribute your outreach across your active Existing Connections campaigns.

Creating an Existing Contacts Campaign

  1. Go to Campaigns

    • Open your Campaigns section and click Add New Campaign.

  2. Choose Campaign Type

    • Select Existing Contacts and click Next.

  3. Add Campaign Details

    • Enter a campaign name and (optionally) a description. This info is only visible to you - it won’t appear to your contacts.

  4. Decide on Additional Actions

    You can set the campaign to take engagement actions such as visiting a profile, liking a post, or endorsing skills. These can be configured in two ways:

    • As the first step: Actions (visit, like, endorse) happen once at the beginning of the campaign before any follow-ups.

    • Before each step: Actions repeat before every follow-up message. For example, the system visits the profile, likes the latest post, then sends the follow-up - repeating this cycle each time.

  5. Add Follow-Up Messages

    • Create a new template or choose an existing one.

    • You can add as many follow-ups as you like.

    • ⚠️ Note: Hyperlinks aren’t supported in follow-up messages.

    Timing: When scheduling, “send after X days” refers to how long after a contact is added to the campaign the message will go out.

    • Example: If a contact is added on July 20 and you set “send after” to 1, the message will be sent on July 21.

    • To send immediately, set this number to 0.

  6. Set Your Schedule

    • Define the time window when the campaign will run.

    • Minimum campaign interval: 3 hours.

  7. Review & Launch

    • Double-check your settings in the summary view.

    • Click Create to activate the campaign.
