25 LinkedIn Outreach Automation Tools for Targeted Prospecting

B2B sales leaders are increasingly integrating social selling in their outreach campaigns.


LinkedIn—with more than one billion worldwide users—is an invaluable lead generation tool to reach prospects and key decision-makers.

But how do you find time in your already busy workday to incorporate LinkedIn outreach into all your other sales prospecting techniques? That’s where automation comes into the picture. By using LinkedIn outreach automation tools, you can scale your LinkedIn lead generation efforts without spending hours on the platform every day.

In this article, I’ll share 25 of the best LinkedIn automation tools out there that you can integrate into your workflow and scale your outreach efforts. Wherever possible, I’ll also share a real-life campaign of a company using the tool.

Advantages of Using LinkedIn Outreach Automation Tools

Here are the top three benefits of integrating LinkedIn outreach tools in your workflow:

  • Save time and effort for LinkedIn prospecting: LinkedIn outreach campaigns call for identifying relevant profiles, sending new connection requests, and following up with prospects. What if you can automate some of these steps? It can save you hours you can spend on other tasks. (Or just do more outreach!)
  • Increase your reach and visibility: By using automated outreach instead of sending connection requests manually, you can reach more leads. Automation can also help schedule content and engage with prospects to grow your LinkedIn account reach.
  • Improve your engagement and response rates: Engaging with prospects manually can be time-consuming and may result in sending generic messages. Automation enables you to send personalized messages at scale, facilitating more meaningful conversations with prospects.

You can also track replies, conversions, messages sent, and your overall performance.

Before we look at the features such automation tools offer, let’s answer an important question.

Can Using LinkedIn Automation Get You Banned?

LinkedIn prohibts the usage of third-party crawlers, bots, plugins, and extensions that scrape user-profiles and automate activity on the platform. So, spamming your prospects and relying on autopilot for your LinkedIn account will likely result in getting banned.

Moreover, this isn't an effective sales approach.

So what should you do? Stay away from Chrome extensions and browser-based plugins as much as possible. They may run 24 x 7 on your machine, are easy for the LinkedIn algorithm to detect, and may change your IP address—activating LinkedIn safety triggers.

Instead, carefully choose cloud-based tools that integrate on top of your profile, provide a dedicated IP address in your local geography, and assist in automating specific prospecting tasks. You want to simulate human behavior and scale up your outreach efforts gradually. Consistently monitor your campaign and make tweaks for the best results.

Just know that even with meticulous checks and balances, using LinkedIn automation tools carries inherent risk. If the social network finds your activity suspicious, you may get banned temporarily or even permanently. So, proceed with caution and at your risk.

At Close, we view sales as a human conversation. While automation, scripts, and templates can enhance sales productivity and efficiency, don't simply send out 1000s of messages in a day and hope to get a response.

Psst... Need a lead boost? Our guide to effective real estate prospecting is a goldmine.

5 Factors to Consider When Selecting the Right LinkedIn Outreach Automation Tool

There are various neat ways to use LinkedIn in B2B sales, but to evaluate the fit of an automation tool for your sales team, answer the questions below about their top features.

  • Features and functionalities: What kind of LinkedIn outreach, sequence, and personalization features does the tool provide? Does it integrate with your current sales stack?
  • Your needs and goals: Consider the parts of your sales outreach you want to automate. Do you want to send bulk messages, or do you want a full-fledged LinkedIn CRM to take care of all aspects of relationship building?
  • Ease of use: Can your reps hit the ground running with the tool? Or is there a learning curve before integrating it into your sales process?
  • Customer support: If you get stuck, does the software have sufficient documentation and customer service available?
  • Pricing: Is the software you’re willing to buy within your budget? More importantly, will it provide you sufficient value for the money you’ll pay?
