6 cool features in Linked Helper 2 you should start using now
Lately, we were busy developing and improving Linked Helper 2 for you. I want to tell you about the 6 useful features that were added: what each feature does and how to use it in the workflow.
You can find the new settings in our app downloadable here.
If you are already heavily using Linked Helper 2, all the features are there — your app gets updated with each launch.

1. Like Posts & Articles
The new action will visit pages of your target group and put “like” under a chosen number of posts and articles, going from newest to oldest. You select the number of posts and articles to upvote.
Use it at the beginning of your pipeline as a good tone — it will likely increase the conversion of your future connection requests while giving support to people’s content at the same time.
Don’t forget your 1st connections, too! Support what your friends publish on LinkedIn. With this action, it is easy and effortless.

2. Check for replies
The action will do regular checks to analyze the message history for the contacts in your campaign. It will put profiles who replied into the ”Replied” sub-list, while those who didn’t — will be at your choice either kept in the queue for some time (you decide for how long) and then proceed to the next action, or immediately moved to the next action.
This check must normally follow any message in the workflow, so it happens automatically in the app: with each messaging action that you add to the workflow, ‘Check for replies’ action pops up below.
When placed at the end of your funnel, after a message, you will know who replied to that last message of your chain. And yes, you can remove it if you don’t need it, just like any other step in your workflow.

3. Advanced limits
Since the beta version, you’ve been able to limit your overall daily activity, without breaking it down into specific actions. If you had the daily limit cap set at 100, all these credits could be used up on extracting profiles without doing enough invites or messages on that day.
Now it’s been solved. We are presenting the ‘Advanced limits’ tab under the Limits section, where you can control on what exactly your action credits are spent: like, 50 messages + 50 invites + 40 “follow profile” clicks.
As best practice, we recommend keeping daily invites at 50-ish to 70-ish and ‘load profiles via URL” parameter at 45–49. The first is because LinkedIn is looking closely at your outgoing activity and inviting people actively is a marker; second is because loading profiles via URL is a back-up scheme, which, if over-used, can also raise a flag.

4. Override platform
You may want to collect profiles from the Sales Navigator platform, but process them via a normal LinkedIn account that doesn’t have any paid subscriptions. The reverse is also possible. Pay attention to the “Override platform” setting that you’ll find in the General settings of the action.

5. Invite person to event
LinkedIn introduced ‘invite to event’ feature about a year ago, and it’s been automated in Linked Helper 2 as well. The action will invite profiles you selected to a specific event’s page on LinkedIn.

6. LinkedIn asks for an email?
Have you ever seen the frustrating “enter the email” pop-up from LinkedIn when trying to connect with someone?
Well, the good news is that if you actually know emails of your target group, you can keep inviting with Linked Helper 2. The flow won’t be interrupted.
All you need is to upload the emails as custom fields into the queue and enable this setting on the ‘Additional settings’ tab.
Have you tried any of these features yet?
