This guide will walk you through how to use PhantomBuster’s Workflows feature to automate LinkedIn lead generation and outreach in just a few clicks.
Workflows help you build pipeline faster by automating your lead generation and outreach, without the manual effort. Whether you are targeting LinkedIn group members, post engagers, followers, or search results, Workflows help you engage with leads at the perfect moment.
What are Workflows
Workflows are ready-made automations that take you from sourcing to outreach automatically. Each workflow helps you:
- Extract leads based on intent or matching criteria.
- Segment them to focus on your ideal targets (optional)
- Engage them with personalized messages at scale.
You can launch a Workflow in minutes, no need to chain multiple Phantoms together manually.
Why use Workflows
- Get started fast: Launch in minutes with built-in steps.
- Capture warm leads: Reach people when they are actively showing interest.
- Work with richer engagement data: Our Engage with Likers and Commenters workflow now uses intent signals to personalize outreach, allowing you to incorporate how your lead interacted with a post and who authored it.
- Scale with personalization: Use dynamic templates to make messaging feel human.
- Stay in control: Pause, edit, or review any step as needed.
How are Workflows different from individual Phantoms?
Phantoms help you automate one task at a time, like scraping profiles or sending messages. Workflows combine multiple Phantoms into a single automation so you don't need to:
- Run individual Phantoms manually.
- Export and import lead data between steps.
- Build custom sequences from scratch.
Workflows do the heavy lifting so you can focus on conversations, not configurations.
