Complete guide to drip campaigns with Linkedroid

Updated for Linkedroid 3.7. The drip campaign builder was rebuilt since this post was written. The action elements described in the original version, and the screenshots of them, no longer match the product. Here is what the current builder does, and where to find the full guide.

A drip campaign runs a sequence of actions against a list of people, waits between them, and branches based on how each person responds. That is still the idea. What changed is that it is now a visual flow builder with far more node types, real branching, and per-profile execution tracking.

What is different now

It is a canvas, not a list. You drag nodes onto a flow and connect them, rather than adding action elements in sequence.
Ten templates. Rather than starting blank, you pick a starting point, from Connect & Follow-up to a thirteen-node Sales Outreach sequence.
Real branching. A Condition node splits the flow on whether someone replied, accepted your connection, or has a keyword in their headline, with separate Yes and No paths.
AI messages. Message nodes can write a different message per profile from that person's data, rather than sending one template to everyone.
Per-profile tracking. You can expand any person in the campaign and see exactly which step they are on, what succeeded, and what failed.

The current flow builder. Palette on the left, canvas in the middle, node config on the right.

The nodes

The palette has four groups.

Actions do something on LinkedIn: Send Message, Connection Request, Profile Visit, Engage, Comment on Post, Tag Profile, Remove.

Logic controls the path: Delay, Condition, A/B Split, Degree Filter, Goal.

Utility covers Note, Notification and End.

Integration holds the Webhook and Zapier Webhook nodes, which POST profile data to any URL.

The Start node picks the audience by tag, so tagging is the step that feeds a drip campaign.

The one setting that matters most

Every message node has a Send Condition: always send, send only if the recipient has never sent a message, or send only if no conversation exists.

Use one of the last two on follow-ups. "Always send" means someone replies to your first message, has a conversation with you, and then gets your scheduled follow-up as though you never read it. That undoes whatever the first message earned.

A sequence that works

Start, targeting a tag
Profile Visit
Delay, one day
Connection Request with an AI note
Delay, three days
Condition: prospect accepted connection
Yes: Send Message with "no conversation exists", then Goal
No: Delay four days, then Remove

Give Condition nodes days rather than minutes to check for a response, and connect both branches. A branch that dead-ends silently drops those profiles.

The full guide

Every node type, the template list, the analytics view, and how to read a failed step are covered in Drip campaigns: building multi-step outreach in the flow builder. Start there if you are building your first sequence.

Learn all about settings available with Linkedroid

Updated for Linkedroid 3.7. This guide was originally written in 2020, when settings lived in a small popup. They now live in a full Preferences screen with four tabs, and several settings below did not exist at all back then. Settings are where you decide how hard Linkedroid pushes, when it runs, and what it says. Getting them right before your first campaign matters more than anything else you will do in the product. Opening Preferences Two ways in: the gear icon in the top right, or Settings at the bottom of the sidebar. Both open the same Preferences screen. It has four tabs: General , Automation , Schedule and Personalization . The General tab. General LinkedIn Platform selects your subscription type: Regular LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiter. This is not cosmetic. It changes which pages Linkedroid reads and what daily limits are available to you. Appearance sets the theme to System, Light or Dark. Backup & Restore exports everything Linke...

How to visit or add LinkedIn profiles?

Updated for Linkedroid 3.7. The steps below follow the same shape as the 2020 version, but the visit modes were renamed and the dashboard was rebuilt, so the buttons are in different places. Visiting profiles is the core of Linkedroid. You set up a search on LinkedIn, Linkedroid reads it, and works through the results at a pace you control. This covers the whole loop, including adding 2nd degree connections as it goes. Step 1: open Linkedroid Click the Linkedroid icon in your Chrome toolbar. It opens as a full browser tab, not a popup, and lands on Quick Campaign . If you have no LinkedIn search tab open, Linkedroid says so and offers Go to LinkedIn at the bottom of the sidebar. It distinguishes between not being logged in, having no search tab, and being disconnected, so read what it actually says rather than assuming. Step 2: build the search on LinkedIn Linkedroid has no search of its own. It reads whatever LinkedIn search results are open in your browser, so your campa...

How to open Linkedroid CRM?

Updated for Linkedroid 3.7. The original version of this post described a right-click menu and a CRM button in a LinkedIn sidebar. Neither exists any more. Opening Linkedroid is now a single click. There is no separate CRM to open. What used to be the Linkedroid CRM is now the whole app, and it opens as a full browser tab. Click the icon Click the Linkedroid icon in your Chrome toolbar. That is it. A new tab opens with the dashboard, and you land on Quick Campaign. If you do not see the icon, it is probably hidden behind Chrome's extensions puzzle-piece button. Click that, find Linkedroid, and pin it. Linkedroid does not open as a small popup. It gets a full tab, which is why there is room for campaigns, a flow builder and analytics rather than a cramped panel. What opens. Profile names and photos blurred for privacy. You need to sign in once The first time, you get a sign-in card. Linkedroid uses Sign in with Google , and that account carries your plan, campaigns,...

Integrate twitter with linkedroid to automate your daily activities

Updated for Linkedroid 3.7. This post used to describe a built-in Twitter integration with a Connect Twitter button, list building and follow automation. That integration is no longer part of Linkedroid, and leaving the old instructions up would waste your time. Here is what replaced it, and how to get Linkedroid data onto X or anywhere else. What happened to the Twitter integration The old feature found Twitter handles from LinkedIn profiles, let you follow and unfollow from inside Linkedroid, and built Twitter lists from a visit campaign. It was built against a version of the Twitter API that no longer works the way it did, and it is not available in current builds. Cross-platform enrichment is still on the roadmap. It is not shipped, and this post is not going to pretend otherwise. What replaced it: webhooks Linkedroid now sends profile data anywhere you want, using the Webhook and Zapier Webhook nodes in the drip campaign flow builder. That is a better answer than a sin...

Tagging connections using Linkedroid CRM

Updated for Linkedroid 3.7. Tagging still works the same way in spirit, but it lives in My Network now rather than a CRM screen, and there are several ways to get profiles in that did not exist in 2020. Tags are how you build an audience. A drip campaign targets a tag, so tagging is the step that turns a pile of visited profiles into something you can actually run a sequence against. Where tagging lives Open My Network in the sidebar. Four tabs across the top: All shows everything Linkedroid knows about. My Connections is your 1st degree network, synced from LinkedIn. Discovered Profiles holds people found through campaigns who are not connections yet. Imported Contacts holds anyone you brought in from a CSV. That third tab is the important change since 2020. You no longer need to be connected to someone to tag them and target them, which means a Scan Profile campaign can build an audience of 2nd and 3rd degree people you have never spoken to. Tagging profiles Selec...
