Once your email step is saved, the next step can be a LinkedIn action. This article adds a connection request with a note, then shows how to keep adding email steps, LinkedIn steps and conditions until the sequence is complete.
Steps
- On the Add Sequence step, select LinkedIn as the channel for this step. You can also add a Condition here if the step is LinkedIn-based (for example, wait N days and branch on whether the connection was accepted).
- Choose the LinkedIn action. For a first LinkedIn touch select Connection Request.
- Write the connection request note. Keep it under 200 characters (LinkedIn's limit is 300) and personalise it with variables.
- Click Save.
- Keep adding steps: another email, another LinkedIn action (Message, Like Latest Post, and so on) or a condition with a day/hour wait. Click Save after each action.
- Add as many steps and conditions as your strategy needs across both channels.
What you see afterwards: the sequence panel shows each step with its channel and, for conditions, an accepted / not accepted branch. Continue with Assign sender accounts, LinkedIn account and contacts, then launch.
Tips
- Typical structure: Email 1 → wait 2 days → LinkedIn Connection Request → condition (wait 3 days): accepted → LinkedIn Message; not accepted → Like Latest Post → Email 2.
- Only a LinkedIn Message can follow an accepted connection; put it on the accepted branch.
- Give conditions at least 3 days. Many people accept requests in batches once or twice a week.
- Put the email follow-up after the LinkedIn touch on the not-accepted branch so those contacts still get a second message.
Troubleshooting
- Message action is unavailable — the contact is not connected yet. Place Message after a condition's accepted branch.
- Condition option is missing — conditions are only offered after a LinkedIn step, not after an email step.
