Searching for Leads

Use the Leads page to search LinkedIn. Enter keywords and apply filters for job title, location, and industry. Results show each person's name, headline, company, location, and current connection status (connected, pending, or not connected).

Saving to Lists

Select one or more leads using the checkboxes, then click Save to List. You can create new lists or add to existing ones. Leads can belong to multiple lists simultaneously, so you can organize by campaign, industry, priority, or any other criteria.

Importing Leads

Go to the Import page to add leads by LinkedIn profile URL. Paste one URL per line. LinkAngler fetches the profile data from LinkedIn and adds each person to your leads.

Lead Profiles

Click on any lead to view their full profile. The profile page shows their headline, company, location, and connection status. You will also see their engagement history (messages sent, connection requests), which campaigns they are enrolled in, and which lists they belong to.

Step Types

• Send Connection — Sends a LinkedIn connection request. Optionally include a personalized message.
• Send Message — Sends a direct message. The lead must already be a connection.
• Like Post — Likes the lead's most recent LinkedIn post to increase visibility before outreach.
• AI Comment — AI generates and posts a relevant comment on the lead's most recent post using an AI Persona you select.
• Voice Note — Sends an AI-generated voice message with a personalized greeting (the lead's name via text-to-speech) spliced onto a pre-recorded voice template. Voice is included — just upload a template.
• Video Message — Sends a personalised video via LinkedIn. Choose between AI-generated videos (lip-synced from a template with the lead's name) or pre-recorded personal videos. The lead receives a link to a branded landing page with your video.

Personalization Variables

Use these variables in connection requests and messages. They are automatically replaced with each lead's data:

• {firstName} — Lead's first name
• {company} — Lead's company name
• {headline} — Lead's LinkedIn headline

If a variable cannot be resolved (e.g., no company listed), LinkAngler uses an automatic fallback so the message still reads naturally.

Campaign Lifecycle

Campaigns move through these statuses: Draft (building steps) → Active (executing actions) → Paused (temporarily stopped) → Completed (all enrollees finished). You can pause and resume at any time.

Daily Limits by LinkedIn Account Tier

LinkAngler automatically detects your LinkedIn account tier and applies the correct daily limits. Premium LinkedIn accounts get higher daily limits.

Safety Features

• Quiet hours — No actions are sent during off-hours to mimic natural usage patterns
• Warm-up period — New campaigns start with lower daily limits that gradually increase over time
• Rate limiting — Daily limits are enforced across all campaigns combined, not per campaign

Best Practices

• Personalize every connection request — generic messages have much lower acceptance rates
• Wait 3-5 days between campaign steps to appear natural
• Keep initial messages under 300 characters for higher response rates
• Use AI Personas for post comments to ensure authentic, relevant engagement

What is an ICP?

An Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) defines the characteristics of your best-fit prospects. Instead of searching manually, LinkAngler uses your ICP to generate targeted LinkedIn searches and score results automatically.

Creating ICP Profiles

Go to Discovery → ICP Profiles and create a new profile. Define your target criteria:

• Target titles — Job titles your prospects typically hold (e.g., VP of Sales, Head of Marketing)
• Industries — Target industries (e.g., SaaS, Financial Services)
• Seniority levels — Manager, Director, VP, C-Suite, etc.
• Locations — Geographic targets (e.g., San Francisco, United Kingdom)
• Company sizes — Employee count ranges (e.g., 51-200, 1001-5000)
• Keywords — Terms that should appear in profiles (e.g., B2B, enterprise sales)

AI Lead Analysis

If you have 20 or more saved leads, the Analyze My Leads button appears on the ICP page. AI examines your existing lead data and suggests values for each ICP field based on patterns it finds. This helps you create a data-driven ICP rather than guessing.

Search Generation & Execution

Once your ICP is configured, AI generates LinkedIn search queries tailored to your criteria. You review and approve each search before it runs. Approved searches execute automatically via background automation (every 30 minutes) and results are scored against your ICP.

Lead Scoring

Each discovered lead receives a score from 0 to 100 based on how well they match your ICP. The score breaks down as follows:

• Title match — 30% weight
• Industry — 20% weight
• Seniority — 20% weight
• Location — 15% weight
• Keywords — 15% weight

Score colors:

• Green (80+) — Strong match
• Blue (60-79) — Good match
• Yellow (40-59) — Moderate match
• Gray (below 40) — Weak match

Auto-Save & Auto-Enroll

Configure a score threshold to automatically save high-scoring leads to a designated list. You can also enable auto-enroll to automatically add qualifying leads into an active campaign, creating a fully automated prospecting pipeline.

Discovery Limits

LinkAngler processes up to 50 search pages per day per user. Discovery searches run automatically every 30 minutes via background automation.

AI Is Included

Every AI feature — ICP analysis, search queries, post comments, AI Outreach, and the Help Assistant — is powered for you out of the box. There's nothing to install and no API key to create. (Existing accounts may still see an optional AI Provider setting to plug in their own key and choose a model.)

AI Personas

AI Personas are reusable personality profiles for generating LinkedIn post comments. Each persona has a name, description, and tone (e.g., "Thoughtful Industry Expert" or "Friendly Connector"). Create personas in Settings → AI Personas and assign them to AI Comment steps in your campaigns. The persona guides the AI to generate comments that sound authentic and match your desired voice.

Voice Notes

Voice notes are included and set up for you — no separate account or key required. When a Voice Note step runs, LinkAngler generates a personalised greeting (the lead's name via text-to-speech) and splices it onto your voice template. Preview the result before activating the campaign. (Existing accounts may have an optional setting to use their own voice provider.)

AI Help Assistant

Click the "Ask" button in the header to open the AI Help Assistant. It knows your current app setup (LinkedIn connection status, campaigns, ICP profiles) and provides contextual help, troubleshooting, and guidance. Conversations are saved and persist for 30 days. You can also escalate to human support or provide feedback directly from the chat.

Starting a new conversation

Click New Message, search your connected leads, and write your message. You can only message 1st-degree connections, so connect first via a campaign or invitation.

Personalisation tokens

Manual messages support the same merge tokens as campaigns — {firstName}, {company}, and {headline} — replaced with each lead's real profile data when sent.

Requires a connected account

If your LinkedIn account isn't connected, the inbox prompts you to connect it in Settings before conversations load.

Triage workflow

Each hot lead moves through three states you control: New (just replied), Contacted (you've followed up), and Dismissed (not relevant). Tabs filter by state, and an All view shows everything with live counts.

Quick actions

From a hot lead you can open the full lead record, jump straight to the conversation in your inbox, mark it Contacted, dismiss it, or reopen a dismissed lead. Connected leads show a Connected badge.

Where replies come from

Reply detection runs on your campaign conversations — start a campaign to begin generating hot leads.

Received invitations

Accept or decline incoming requests one at a time, or select several and act in bulk. When you accept, LinkAngler offers to save the new connection — or all of them at once — as leads.

Sent invitations

Review the requests you've sent and cancel any that are still pending, individually or in bulk.

Auto-cancel stale invitations

Turn on auto-cancel to automatically withdraw sent invitations that haven't been accepted after 7, 14, or 30 days, with a daily cancel limit so you stay within safe LinkedIn activity levels. Optionally re-enrol cancelled leads back into a campaign.

Reviewing comments

Each item shows the original post next to the AI-drafted comment. Edit the wording, reset to the original draft, then Approve & Post or Reject. Approved comments are posted to LinkedIn; rejected ones are discarded.

Pending, Approved, Rejected

Tabs track every comment by status with counts, so you always know what's awaiting review and what's already been handled.

Comment tone

Comment tone follows the AI Persona assigned to the campaign step — set personas up in Settings → AI → AI Personas.

Three ways to fill it

• Add entries by hand — a title, industry tags, an optional result metric (e.g. "3x pipeline in 90 days"), and the story.
• Seed with examples to drop in template entries that show the format.
• Import from your website — paste your domain and LinkAngler crawls your case-study pages, then proposes entries for you to review and edit before saving.

Why it matters

At least one entry is needed for AI outreach personalisation — an empty library leaves the AI with nothing concrete to reference.

How it works

LinkAngler generates the common B2B email patterns for a lead's name and company domain, checks the domain has a live mail server, and verifies each candidate until it finds a valid address. Results are cached for 90 days, so re-checking the same person doesn't cost another credit.

Monthly credits

Enrichment runs on a monthly credit allowance shown in Settings → General → Enrichment ("X of Y enrichments used this month"), resetting on the 1st. The counter turns yellow near your limit and red when reached.

Availability

Enrichment is enabled per account and may not appear on every plan.

Defining tiers

Each tier has a name, a min–max score range, a colour, and an action hint reminding you what to do. The defaults are Standard (automated outreach handles these), Priority (review and add personal follow-ups), and Personal Letter (write a handcrafted message).

Defaults

Add, edit, and delete tiers freely, or reset to the defaults anytime. Changing tiers re-segments leads but never alters their underlying scores.

What's supported

Push to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive directly, or to any system via an outgoing webhook (e.g. Zapier). Map LinkAngler's lead fields to your CRM's field names, send a test, and review a push history of what synced and when.

Connecting and switching

Add accounts in Settings → General → LinkedIn Accounts. Switch the active account with the account switcher; campaigns, leads, and rate limits are tracked per account. Disconnecting an account with active campaigns warns you first, since those campaigns will pause.

Plan limits

Each plan includes a set number of LinkedIn accounts; additional accounts may add to your monthly cost. You'll be prompted to upgrade when you reach your limit.

Confidence threshold

In Settings → AI you set a confidence threshold. When the AI's confidence in handling a reply falls below it, the reply is flagged for your manual review instead of being auto-answered. Lower means the AI handles more; higher means you review more.
