1. LinkedIn Automated Connections to imported profiles

Whether or not you’re accepted depends largely on the relevance of your audience. Connecting with unqualified profiles can reduce your acceptance rate, impact your credibility and affect your overall performance.

That’s why you need to identify profiles as well as possible before importing them. 🤓

When you’re sure your leads are relevant, then here’s how to invite them on LinkedIn automatiquement👇🏻 :

• Install Waalaxy Chrome extension as a LinkedIn Auto-Connect tool.
• Go to the Campaign tab and create a campaign.
• Search for an “Invitation” sequence.
• Add prospects from your prospect list.

• Insert an invitation note, or not.
• Launch the campaign. ⭐️

2. LinkedIn Automated Connections to people who visit my profile

If someone visits your LinkedIn profile, it’s because they’re potentially interested in your business or looking for services similar to yours. They’ve already shown an initial sign of interest, which means they’re much more likely to accept your invitation 📨

The auto-import feature lets you automatically populate your campaigns according to a defined criterion, in this case profile visit. You want to send a LinkedIn automated connection to everyone who visits your profile. Here’s how 👇🏻 :

• Go to the Campaign tab and Create a campaign.
• Search for and select the “Invitation” sequence.
• In the “Add prospects” section, select the list in which your prospects will be stored.
• Then click on “Auto-import”.

• Click on “Visited my profile”.

• Write your connection note, or not.
• Launch the campaign. 🚀

3. LinkedIn Automated Connections to people who comment on or like my post

These people have already interacted with you, which means they’re potentially interested in your content, expertise or services. They’re therefore more likely to accept your invitation. 🤩

As with the profile visit, select: “Commented on a LinkedIn post“, add the URL of the post, and retrieve all the people who commented on your publication to send them a LinkedIn invitation automatically. 📮

4. LinkedIn Automated Connections messages to people who have sent you an invitation

To send automatic LinkedIn messages to people who have sent you a LinkedIn invitation and pro them, select “Sent me an invitation” and check “Automatically accept invitation”.

We advise you not to accept everyone indiscriminately, as this could harm the quality of your contacts and the relevance of your audience.

Before launching the automation, manually sort the invitations you receive, and refuse those that don’t come from your target audience, to make sure you’re accepting relevant profiles.

How do I automatically follow up on a LinkedIn Automated Connections?

With Waalaxy, you can automate LinkedIn connection requests and follow-ups to maximize your acceptance rates.

The principle is simple: you create a sequence in which tool first sends LinkedIn connection requests on LinkedIn automatically (with or without a personalized note).

If the person doesn’t respond within a defined period, Waalaxy automatically triggers a reminder. You can set this deadline (e.g. 3, 5 or 7 days) and personalize the automatic message or note to recall the context of your invitation.

The advantage is that everything happens in the background, without you having to manually monitor your pending invitations. This keeps you visible, persistent and professional, without being intrusive.

What’s more, Waalaxy offers advanced options for segmenting your targets and tailoring your reminders to their profile.

How do I follow up LinkedIn Automated Connections messages?

An accepted LinkedIn automated connection doesn’t necessarily mean an engaged conversation.

Once you’ve been accepted, you can follow up with a message. To be effective, it needs to be short, punchy and value-oriented. It needs to grab attention in a matter of seconds! ⏱️

But if that’s not enough, that’s where the follow-up comes in, playing a key role in turning a connection into an opportunity.

A good follow-up is more than just a reminder of the first message. It has to add value, capture attention and make your contact want to respond.

Here are a few tips: 👇🏻

• 👀 Always personalized your message using variables, and keep the structure identical to your first messages to ensure smooth continuity.
• 🤗 Modify the tagline, value proposition and CTA to test a new angle of approach.
• 🥸 Avoid classic, too-close follow-up messages like “Did you see my previous message?”, which don’t add any value.
• 😎 Create a pattern break with a different approach.
• 🥳 Experiment with humor or first names to make the follow-up more engaging and natural.
• 🏃🏻‍♀️ Be direct and informal: get straight to the point in under 500 characters to maximize your chances of a response.

How do I view and remove LinkedIn Automated Connections sent/pending?

Keeping track of your LinkedIn automated connections is easy. Go to the « Network tab » on LinkedIn, then click on « Invitations » to view invitations sent, received or pending.

By filtering by « Sent », you can access your invitation history, with the option of removing those that have not yet been accepted. This view is essential to avoid an overflow of pending invitations, which could limit your future actions.

This is also where you can remove an automatic pending LinkedIn invitation: next to the profile concerned, simply click on « Remove » to cancel the invitation. This action is immediate and the person receives no notification of your withdrawal.

On the other hand, with Waalaxy, you can view all scheduled, pending or already sent LinkedIn automated connections at a glance, directly in your dashboard.

This allows you to optimize your campaigns, measure your acceptance rates and adjust your sequences to stay relevant. In short, LinkedIn and Waalaxy each give you a complementary view to keep control of your invitations.

Frequently asked questions – LinkedIn Automated Connections

🏁 To conclude, here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions on this topic.

Do I have to leave computer open for my LinkedIn Automated Connections to be sent?

If you have a paid plan on Waalaxy, Cloud activation is mandatory for the tool to work. The huge advantage is that your campaigns continue to run even when your computer is switched off.

You no longer need to keep LinkedIn open, allowing you to automate LinkedIn connection and other actions without constraint.🤩

On the other hand, if you’re on the Freemium plan, your computer must remain switched on and a LinkedIn tab open for actions to run properly. This ensures that invitations are sent securely, using your usual IP address, without risk to your account.🥳

Do I need a paid subscription to automatically send an invitation?

Great news! You can send automatic invitations with a free subscription to Waalaxy. It’s already easy to expand your network. 😇

However, some advanced features, such as lead auto-import, require a paid subscription. Auto-import is particularly useful if you want to automate the addition of new contacts based on specific criteria (profile visits, interactions on your posts…). 👀

How to stop LinkedIn from sending LinkedIn Automated Connections?

To prevent LinkedIn from sending LinkedIn automated connections or soliciting your contacts, here are our recommendations: 👇🏼

• Deactivate authorization synchronization: Settings > Contacts synchronization and import, then deactivate active options.

• Manage your communications preferences: disable invitations from LinkedIn pages, events or newsletters.

If you use an automation tool like Waalaxy, make sure you set your sequences so that no automatic LinkedIn connection request leaves without your validation.

Finally, regularly check the Invitations Sent tab to remove those that don’t match your strategy. This way, you can keep your network targeted and under control.

How to make people automatically follow you on LinkedIn?

You can’t force people to automatically follow you on LinkedIn, but you can optimize your settings to encourage automatic follows instead of LinkedIn connection requests.

Go to Settings > Visibility > Followers and choose the option to let others follow you by default. This way, anyone clicking “Connect” will become a follower unless you accept their request.

To grow faster, publish valuable content regularly, use relevant hashtags, and engage with your audience so your profile naturally attracts more followers.

How can I automatically accept all LinkedIn Automated Connections?

LinkedIn does not officially allow automated acceptance of invitations, but some third-party tools offer this feature with care, to save time and facilitate rapid expansion of your network.

Waalaxy lets you launch a Waalaxy campaign targeting people who have sent you an invitation, and auto-accept them (tuto in the article) while simulating human actions to remain discreet.

Another less secure solution, the LinkedIn Auto Accept Chrome extension (available on GitHub) can accept all pending requests at once.

⚠️ When using this kind of automation, be sure to respect LinkedIn limits (daily quotas, human behavior) to avoid penalties.

Now you know all about the LinkedIn automated connections! 🚀
