# How Do I Prospect on LinkedIn With Revnu? > A step-by-step recipe for LinkedIn prospecting with Revnu. Connect your LinkedIn, tell Revnu who to reach, approve the sequence once, and it sends invites and messages as you at a safe pace. What to send Revnu, what you approve and how fast it goes. Canonical: https://revnu.com/docs/uc-linkedin Last updated: 2026-10-18 Connect your LinkedIn, tell Revnu who to reach, and approve the sequence once. Revnu sends connection requests and messages from your account, as you, starting at 5 invites a day in week one and rising to at most 17 a day from week four. You need your own LinkedIn account, and a buyer description or a list of people. LinkedIn steps need a LinkedIn profile on each lead. One account sends at most 85 invites a week at full pace, so LinkedIn suits a defined list of people you really want to reach. ## Step by step ### 1. Connect LinkedIn Open **Connections > Reach People** and press **Connect** on the **LinkedIn DMs** row. Read the note, tick the box and press **Connect LinkedIn**. Then sign in to LinkedIn on the screen that opens. LinkedIn may ask for a code or a check in its app. ![Connections, Reach People group: the Gmail, Outlook and LinkedIn DMs cards, each with a Connect button](/docs/screens/connections-reach.webp) The row then says **Connected as** and your name. Connecting never starts a campaign by itself. See [connect LinkedIn](/docs/connect-linkedin). ### 2. Tell Revnu who to reach > connect with heads of growth at series a fintechs in london, then follow up once they accept Already running email to a campaign? Add LinkedIn to it instead: > add a connection request and a linkedin message to my agencies campaign, and drop the second email Revnu writes a sequence with LinkedIn steps and puts the people in it. Lead research doesn't use your LinkedIn account. ### 3. Read the steps Open **Leads**, pick the campaign, then press the **N Steps** pill next to it. - **Connection Request.** Revnu sends invites with **No Note** by default, because free LinkedIn accounts only get a few notes a month. Pick **Note** to add one, up to 200 characters. - **LinkedIn Message.** Pick **Template** to write it yourself, or **Write It for Me** to let Revnu write one for each person. To make it sound like you, paste how you'd write it: "make it sound like me, here's how i'd write it: …". Short and plain works best on LinkedIn. ### 4. Approve it once Press **Approve**. Every step of that sequence then sends to every person on it, now and later, without asking again. Your first sequence always waits for your yes, whatever your settings say. ### 5. Watch it go out Invites go out on weekdays, 9:00 to 18:00 in your account's time zone, a few minutes apart and never more than 8 an hour. To see who's been invited, open the sequence window, then the **…** menu, then **Recipients**. Each person shows how far they've got, such as "1 of 3 sent". Or ask: "how many linkedin invites went out this week, and how many accepted?" ### 6. Answer replies Replies land in **Inbox** (switch it to **LinkedIn**) and on the lead's row on **Leads**. Revnu tells you who replied and puts a suggested answer in the same message. Say "send", or say what to change. Nothing goes out until you say send. > **Warning:** Saying "pause" holds every LinkedIn send, sequence steps included, until you resume. To stop LinkedIn for good, switch off **LinkedIn Sending** in **Settings > Agent**. **Invites and messages outside a sequence** One-off invites and messages you ask for outside a sequence follow the **Connection Requests** and **Messages** switches in **Settings > Agent**. On Pro, both start on **Ask Me First**. See [LinkedIn invites, messages and replies](/docs/linkedin-outreach). ![Settings, Agent tab, What Needs Your Approval: the Connection Requests and Messages rows under LinkedIn, each with an Ask Me First or Just Do It switch](/docs/screens/settings-approvals.webp) ## What to expect, and when | Week | Invites a day | Invites a week | |---|---|---| | 1 | 5 | 25 | | 2 | 10 | 50 | | 3 | 15 | 70 | | 4 and after | 17 | 85 | - **Week one:** about 4 or 5 invites a day. Approve 40 people on a Monday and roughly 20 to 25 have an invite by Friday. The rest start next week. - **Acceptances:** they trickle in over days. LinkedIn can take up to about 8 hours to show one. - **The message after they accept** goes out on a later weekday. - **No accept after 10 working days:** the sequence moves on, for example to an email step. - **When to judge it:** after two to three weeks, not a few days. The limits are fixed. Nobody, including Revnu's team, can raise them. ## If it doesn't work | What you see | What to do | |---|---| | Nothing has sent | Check the **LinkedIn DMs** row says **Connected**, **LinkedIn Sending** is on in **Settings > Agent**, and the **N Steps** pill says **Live** | | A lead says **Can't Start**, "No LinkedIn profile" | Ask Revnu "find the missing linkedin profiles for this campaign" | | The LinkedIn row says **Paused** | LinkedIn pushed back, so Revnu stopped for at least 72 hours. See [why LinkedIn sending stopped](/docs/linkedin-paused) | | Invites go out at odd hours | Your time zone is wrong. Say "change my time zone to Europe/London", or wherever you are | | Approve fails in Claude or ChatGPT | LinkedIn cards can only be approved in the dashboard, in **Review** | ## Related [Connect LinkedIn](/docs/connect-linkedin), [LinkedIn invites, messages and replies](/docs/linkedin-outreach) and [LinkedIn limits and account safety](/docs/linkedin-limits). ## Frequently asked questions ### Is my LinkedIn account safe? Revnu is built to keep it safe, with low daily caps, a four-week ramp, weekday working hours and a full stop of at least 72 hours when LinkedIn pushes back. You can also keep LinkedIn read-only. ### Can my cofounder's LinkedIn send too? For one-off invites and messages you ask for by name, yes. Each teammate connects their own LinkedIn as a seat, with its own limits. A sequence always sends its LinkedIn steps from the account owner's LinkedIn. ### Does Revnu post on LinkedIn for me? Revnu drafts your LinkedIn posts and sends you a share link. You tap it and the post goes out from your own account. ### Should my connection requests have a note? Revnu sends them without one by default, because free accounts only get a few notes a month. Revnu has no data showing a note raises or lowers acceptance. Try a short note on part of your list if you want to compare. ### Can one sequence use LinkedIn and email? Yes. A sequence can mix email steps, connection requests and LinkedIn messages. A reply on either channel stops the sequence for that person.
