- LinkedIn Automation tasks are available for Pro+ plans
- Semi-automate Connection Requests, Direct Messages, Profile Views and InMail (LinkedIn Premium Plan Required)
- Personalized Messaging supported for Connection Requests, Direct Messages and InMail using Personalization tokens for data field properties.
- A valid LinkedIn profile URL is required to be saved in the default [linkedin_url] data property for each contact. If you're using our LinkedIn Prospector tool, the LinkedIn profile URL will be automatically saved for each contact.

Adding Personalization for Connection Requests and Messages
Leadfwd tasks can leverage personalization tokens that are connected to custom data field properties that are related to your contacts.

The message body will be completely personalized when its auto-filled into LinkedIn for Connection Requests and Messages.
