Workflow Action - Send A Message

We’ve simplified and enhanced LinkedIn messaging inside your workflows by combining “Start A Chat” and “Send A Message” into one streamlined action. This makes it easier than ever to manage conversations directly from your automation builder.

What’s New

  • One Action for All Messaging: No need to choose between starting a chat or sending a message—everything is now handled through a single, unified action.
  • Rich Media Support: In addition to text messages, you can now send:
    • Attachments (documents, images, files)
    • Voice messages
    • Video messages

Why This Matters

  • Simplifies workflow setup with fewer actions to configure
  • Provides more ways to engage prospects and connections authentically
  • Enhances personalization by supporting voice and video formats, not just text
  • Reduces friction between chat initiation and ongoing messaging

Rate Limit Status Feedback

Rate limit status indicator on Getting Started page shows when your account has reached LinkedIn's rate limits.

Know instantly when your account has hit rate limits.

What it does:

A visual indicator appears on your Getting Started page when your account reaches LinkedIn's rate limits. This gives you immediate visibility into whether your account is temporarily blocked due to exceeding activity thresholds.

  • Visual indicator shows on Getting Started page
  • Appears when rate limits are reached
  • Lets you know your account is temporarily blocked
  • No configuration needed — it's automatic

Why it matters:

When workflows slow down or stop unexpectedly, it's easy to wonder what went wrong. This indicator answers that question immediately: if you see the rate limit warning, you know to pause activity and let your account recover. Without it, you're left guessing whether there's a technical issue or an account block.

Understanding rate limits helps protect your account long-term and keeps the platform stable for everyone.

Authentication Flow Upgrade

A new authentication process streamlines LinkedIn setup, supports bulk installs, and enables agency-managed deployments.

As part of the CRM platform’s migration to a new app distribution method, we’ve rebuilt the authentication flow for LinkedConnector. The new process simplifies setup, improves clarity, and supports both individual and agency installations.

How it works today:

  • Access the new authentication flow from the Connect and Support tab in the app profile.
  • Two new authentication cards are available:
    • Connect LinkedIn: Guides you through the LinkedIn authentication process with live feedback confirming whether your account is connected and active.
    • Connect Chat: Requires a Provider ID custom field key and a Chat ID custom field key to store identifiers used for two-way messaging.
  • Agencies can now complete bulk installations on behalf of their clients. Clients then complete the LinkedIn authentication and maintain it independently.

Why this matters:

Supports scalable bulk installations for faster onboarding

  • Enables agency-led deployments while allowing clients to manage their own authentication
  • Provides live connection status for greater clarity and troubleshooting
  • Ensures smooth setup for two-way LinkedIn messaging through proper field mapping

Workflow Action - Send a Message to a Chat

Continue LinkedIn conversations seamlessly by sending messages and attachments directly into an existing chat thread.

We’ve introduced a new workflow action, Send a Message to a Chat, designed for ongoing LinkedIn conversations. This action makes it simple to engage once a chat has already been started using the Start a Chat action.

How it works today:

  • Provide the Chat ID of the conversation.
  • Enter your message content.
  • Optionally, include an Attachment URL to send a file alongside your message.
  • Attachments must be in a LinkedIn-supported format such as PDF, image, video, audio, CSV, or text file.

Why this matters:

  • Maintain continuity by messaging directly into active conversations
  • Enrich communication with relevant attachments (e.g., case studies, product one-pagers, proposals)
  • Automate both text and file sharing without leaving your CRM
  • Create scalable yet personalized follow-ups for LinkedIn engagement

Workflow Action - Start a Chat

Initiate new LinkedIn conversations with InMail or direct messages, returning a chat ID for ongoing communication.

We’ve updated the Send a Message action to Start a Chat. This action is now the dedicated way to send the very first message to a LinkedIn user when no existing chat thread exists.

How it works today:

  • Provide a Provider ID of the recipient.
  • Enter your message content.
  • Select your account type and indicate whether the message is an InMail.
  • The action initiates a new conversation and returns a Chat ID, which can then be stored and used for sending subsequent messages within the same thread.

Why this matters:

  • Establish clear workflows for starting new conversations versus continuing existing ones
  • Ensure accurate tracking by always receiving a chat ID for ongoing engagement
  • Enable streamlined use of InMail for outreach when no prior chat history exists
  • Provide a cleaner separation between conversation initiation and follow-up messaging actions

Workflow Action - React to a Post

Engage with LinkedIn content at scale by automating reactions from your personal or company account.

We’ve introduced a new workflow action, React to a Post, which allows you to add reactions to LinkedIn content directly through your workflows. This action complements Retrieve Last Post and Comment on a Post, giving you multiple ways to automate authentic engagement.

How it works today:

  • Provide a Post ID or use the ID retrieved from the Retrieve Last Post action.
  • Select from available reactions: Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, or Funny.
  • React using your personal LinkedIn account or, with the right permissions, on behalf of a company page.

Why this matters:

  • Boost visibility by engaging with prospects’ or companies’ content consistently
  • Showcase company presence by reacting as your business page
  • Strengthen relationships with quick, meaningful engagement signals
  • Automate post engagement as part of wider outreach and nurturing workflows

Workflow Action - Comment on a Post

Automate LinkedIn engagement by commenting on posts as yourself or on behalf of a company.

We’ve added a new workflow action, Comment on a Post, enabling you to leave comments on LinkedIn content directly through your workflows. This action works seamlessly with Retrieve Last Post, making it easy to comment on the latest activity from a user or company.

How it works today:

  • Provide a Post ID or use the ID retrieved from the Retrieve Last Post action.
  • Post a comment as your personal LinkedIn account.
  • If you have the required permissions, you can also comment on behalf of a company page.

Why this matters:

  • Drive engagement by commenting on prospects’ or companies’ latest posts
  • Support company-wide thought leadership by engaging through your business page
  • Automate timely interactions without leaving your CRM
  • Create scalable engagement strategies that feel personalized and relevant

Workflow Action - Retrieve Last Post

Access the latest LinkedIn post from a user or company with detailed engagement metrics for smarter interactions.

We’ve introduced a new workflow action, Retrieve Last Post, which allows you to automatically pull the most recent post from a LinkedIn user or company. This action is designed to provide both the post itself and rich engagement data, enabling more contextual and timely responses.

How it works today:

The Retrieve Last Post action retrieves the latest published post along with key details, including:

  • Post ID and share URL
  • Date and hours since posting
  • Post text and whether it is a repost
  • Comment count, impressions, and reaction count
  • Whether commenting, reacting, or sharing is allowed
  • Author information

Why this matters:

  • Engage more meaningfully by commenting or reacting to the most recent post
  • Use post insights (impressions, comments, reactions) to guide when and how you engage
  • Personalize outreach with context from a contact’s or company’s latest activity
  • Automate timely engagement strategies directly in your workflows

Improved: Workflow Action - Search People

Refine your LinkedIn people searches with new filters for title, keywords, and company history.

We’ve expanded the Search People workflow action to give you more precision and control when finding LinkedIn users. This update makes it easier to narrow down your searches and target the right audience for your workflows.

How it works today:

The Search People action now includes additional filtering fields to refine search results:

  • Title: Search by role (e.g., CEO, Founder, Sales).
  • Keywords: Search by industry, sector, or other keywords.
  • Company Name: Search by current company.
  • Company ID / Past Company ID: Search for individuals associated with a company, including past employees (e.g., former Salesforce employees).

Why this matters:

  • Identify prospects based on roles, industries, or company history
  • Build more relevant and qualified lead lists
  • Automate enriched searches directly within workflows without manual effort

Workflow Trigger - New Connection

Automatically launch workflows the moment a new LinkedIn connection is made.

We’ve introduced a new trigger to help you act quickly on valuable new relationships. The New Connection trigger activates workflows as soon as a new LinkedIn connection is established.

How it works:

  • Whenever a new connection is added, the workflow is triggered instantly.
  • From there, you can chain follow-up actions such as:
    • Find or create a contact in the CRM
    • Tagging the new contact for organization and segmentation
    • Sending a welcome or follow-up message
    • Enriching the profile with LinkedIn data
    • Firing off subsequent workflows and actions inside your CRM

  • Strengthen relationship-building with timely, automated engagement

Workflow Trigger - New Message

Easily capture inbound LinkedIn messages and trigger automated workflows for faster, smarter responses.

We’ve added a powerful new trigger to help you automate workflows around LinkedIn conversations. The New Message trigger allows workflows to start automatically whenever a new message is received in your LinkedIn account.

How it works:

  • You can then chain follow-up actions such as:
    • Look up a contact by provider ID, Name etc.
    • Find an existing contact
    • Find or create a new contact
    • Trigger any subsequent workflow actions (e.g., send alerts, update records, or launch nurture sequences)

Why this matters:

  • Automate contact matching and enrichment without manual effort
