Hey lemlister! 👋
Want to boost engagement and make your outreach stand out?
By adding LinkedIn actions to your lemlist sequence, you can connect with prospects across multiple channels — increasing visibility, credibility, and reply rates.
This guide shows you exactly how to integrate LinkedIn steps into your campaigns and build powerful multichannel sequences. 🚀
🔹 What LinkedIn Actions Can You Add?
lemlist lets you combine up to five different LinkedIn actions in your sequence:
LinkedIn Step | Description |
Profile Visit | Get noticed effortlessly by visiting a prospect’s profile. |
Invite | Send a personalized connection request to grow your network. |
Message | Engage your lead with a private LinkedIn message (not an InMail). |
Voice Message | Record or upload a short, authentic audio message directly in LinkedIn. |
AI Voice Message | Send natural-sounding, personalized voice notes generated with AI (via ElevenLabs). |
⚠️ Note: lemlist only sends private LinkedIn messages — not InMails.
⚙️ How to Add LinkedIn Actions to Your Sequence
Follow these steps to include LinkedIn actions in your campaign:
Open your campaign in the lemlist app.
Go to the “Sequence” section.
Set LinkedIn conditions to control when steps trigger:
Has a LinkedIn URL → Sends only to leads with a LinkedIn profile link.
Add a LinkedIn step: choose between Profile Visit, Invite, Chat or Voice Message.
🔥 Best Practices for Each LinkedIn Step
1. Warm Up with a LinkedIn Profile Visit
Start your sequence with a profile visit to increase your chances of connection acceptance.
You can choose to visit profiles as yourself or as a team member — this creates a more natural, team-based impression.
2. Combine Invites + Messages
Create a more dynamic and effective LinkedIn flow with these options:
Option 1: Invite → Message
Step 1: Send a personalized LinkedIn invite.
Step 2: Condition to check once the invite is accepted (4-5 days)
Step 3: Send a LinkedIn message once the invite is accepted.
Option 2: Message Only
Skip the invite step and send a message directly to leads already in your network.
If they’re not yet connected, lemlist will automatically send a connection request with your custom note.
🎧 Voice Messages (Manual)
Voice Messages help you connect on a deeper, more human level.
How to Use Them
Add a new step → choose LinkedIn Voice Message.
Select your sender (only one sender per step — voice is personal).
Record or upload your audio:
Record directly in lemlist (max 1 minute).
Or upload an audio file (
.mp3,.wav,.m4a, etc., max 20 MB).
Personalize in Review: You can record a different message per lead or revert to your main version anytime.
Why It Works
Stands out in crowded inboxes
Conveys tone and sincerity
Shows extra effort → increases trust and replies
👉 Want the personal touch without recording every message?
AI Voice Messages let you generate realistic, human-sounding audio for each lead — using your own cloned voice or a professional one.
✍️ Writing Effective LinkedIn Messages
Keep these key rules in mind:
Character limit: LinkedIn messages can have up to 200 characters.
If you exceed this, lemlist will automatically trim your message.Variables: When using personalization fields (like
{{firstName}}or{{companyName}}), aim for ≤150 characters to stay safe.
🧠 Smart Tips for LinkedIn Integration
✅ Manual LinkedIn Imports:
If uploading leads via CSV or CRM, make sure your LinkedIn column is named linkedinUrl so lemlist recognizes it automatically.
✅ lemlist Chrome Extension:
Import contacts directly from LinkedIn in one click — no manual copy-pasting needed.
✅ Stay Within LinkedIn Limits:
To protect your account, LinkedIn recommends a maximum of 100 actions per day (visits + invites + messages).
You can adjust these limits anytime under
Account Settings → Sending Limits.
