Auto-Connect

How It Works

  • Activating Auto-connect: Enable the "Auto-connect" option when creating or editing an automation for a LinkedIn post.

  • Keyword Matching: When a new comment is detected, it's checked against your predefined list of keywords. (if keywords are empty it will run for all comments)

  • Non-1st connection: If you are not connected with the commenter, and auto-connect is enabled, then LeadShark will follow the steps outlined in the flow below:

Auto-Connect Flow

✳️ Auto-Accept Incoming Requests

First, we will check whether the commenter has already sent you a connection request, if so, we will automatically accept it. In the next few minutes, LeadShark will send the DM template to the new connection. (displayed in Automations stats under Connections Accepted)

✅ Sending Connection Requests

If they have not sent you a connection request, then we will send them an automated connection request, adhering strictly to LinkedIn's connection request limits*. Once they accept, we will DM them the DM template automatically. (displayed in Automations stats under Connections Sent)

*Limits: LeadShark adheres to LinkedIn's connection request limits to ensure your account's safety. Our limits are set at 80 daily connection requests and 200 weekly connection requests.
