Overview
This node automates the process of sending a LinkedIn connection invite to a specified profile using Browserflow. It allows you to specify the target LinkedIn profile URL and optionally include a custom message with your invitation. This is particularly useful for sales, recruitment, or networking workflows where you want to automate outreach and manage connections at scale.
Practical examples:
- Automate sending personalized connection requests to leads from a CRM.
- Batch connect with event attendees by providing their LinkedIn URLs.
- Streamline recruitment outreach by connecting with potential candidates.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn URL | String | The LinkedIn profile URL to which the connection invite will be sent. This is required. |
| Add Message | Boolean | Whether to include a custom message in the connection invite. If set to true, the "Message" field becomes available. |
| Message | String | Optional message to include in the connection invite. If left blank, the invite is sent without a message (which may help avoid LinkedIn limits). Only shown if "Add Message" is true. |
Output
The node returns a json object containing the result of the connection invite request. The exact structure depends on the response from the Browserflow API, but typically includes status information about the invite attempt (e.g., success, error messages).
