Help: I have 1 week to figure out LinkedIn Outbound Automation
I’ll keep it short: Took a job, very fast paced, have to figure out how to send 500+ outbound LinkedIn messages promoting our product and automate that outreach.
Anytime I look for “Recommended LinkedIn outbound tools” on Reddit or on the internet it’s always people promoting their own product (which I don’t really trust) or straight up AI SLOP. I am getting bombarded with a bunch of tools but I don’t really know what to pick. I’m scared of getting banned.
My questions are:
- I know LinkedIn automation and sending mass messages is a big no, BUT are there tools that are safer than others? If so, how?
- In terms of cost, which tools do you like most that don’t get ridiculously expensive at scale?
- I need a tool that is 100% API automation friendly. For context: I am programmatically generating lists of LinkedIn urls and lead profiles we want to reach out to. I need to be able to send the tool we choose the whole list of candidates (500+) and the message we want to send to each one, and start the outbound campaign through the API or webhook or whatever mechanism the tool offers.
I apologize if this is not the most technical post out there, I’m in a bit of a hurry and highly frustrated with information I am finding out there.
Looking for people who have dealt with this before who can give me a little bit of guidance. Any advice, recommendations or pointers would be highly appreciated.
