LinkedIn Outreach with Crispy

Core Tools

Workflow Patterns

1. Personalized Connection Request

Step 1: Use get_profile to research the prospect
Step 2: Identify personalization angles (shared connections, recent posts, mutual interests)
Step 3: Craft a personalized connection note (max 300 chars)
Step 4: Send via send_invitation

Example:

• Research prospect with get_profile
• Note their recent post about AI
• Send: "Hi [Name], loved your take on AI in fintech — especially the point about regulatory challenges. I'm building in the same space and would love to connect."

2. Inbox Triage and Response

Step 1: list_conversations to see recent threads
Step 2: get_messages on priority conversations
Step 3: Draft and send replies based on context
Step 4: Flag important threads for the user

3. Multi-Step Outreach Sequence

Step 1: Search for prospects (use linkedin-prospecting skill)
Step 2: Create a campaign with create_campaign
Step 3: Send connection requests with personalized notes
Step 4: After acceptance, send follow-up message
Step 5: Track results with get_campaign_stats

4. Follow-Up Campaign

Step 1: list_conversations to find unanswered threads
Step 2: Identify conversations older than N days without reply
Step 3: Draft contextual follow-up messages
Step 4: Send follow-ups via send_message

Message Writing Guidelines

Connection Requests (max 300 characters)

• Lead with something specific about them (not about you)
• No "I'd love to add you to my network" — be genuine
• One clear reason to connect
• No links, no pitches

First Messages

• Reference something specific (their post, company news, shared connection)
• Keep under 3 short paragraphs
• End with a low-commitment ask (question, not a meeting request)
• Write like a human, not a template

Follow-Ups

• Reference the previous message
• Add new value (insight, resource, relevant news)
• Keep shorter than the original message
• Wait 3-5 business days between follow-ups

Safety Guidelines

1. Respect LinkedIn's daily limits. ~100 connection requests/day, ~50-100 messages/day for established accounts.
2. Ramp up gradually. New accounts should start with 10-20 requests/day and increase over weeks.
3. Personalize every message. Bulk generic outreach gets flagged. Use prospect data to personalize.
4. Don't spam. If someone doesn't respond after 2 follow-ups, stop.
5. Use the Safety Calculator at https://crispy.sh/tools/safety-calculator to check your account's safe limits.
6. Crispy never stores messages. All content is sent directly through LinkedIn. Nothing is retained.
