How to Use the LinkedIn Company Page Inviter

*For a workflow targeting 10–20 LinkedIn profiles, the full process typically takes around 5–10 minutes total, including sending page invitations and collecting follower data, plus a few extra seconds for the workflow to process.

Before you start

• Credits: LinkedIn gives company pages a monthly quota of invitation credits.
  • Sending an invite costs 1 credit.
  • If the invite is accepted, the credit is returned.
  • If the invite is rejected or withdrawn, the credit is lost.

Step 1: Provide your connections to invite

You can provide your connections in two ways:

1. My Lists:
   Select an existing LinkedIn Leads list you’ve already created in PhantomBuster. 
   → Or create a filtered list by Connection degree so it grows as you add new connections.

2. A URL:

   • Provide a Google Sheet with LinkedIn profile URLs or connection names (make sure it’s shared with “Anyone with the link”).
   • Upload a CSV file with profile URLs (make sure it’s publicly accessible, and note that CSV upload is only available on paid plans).

   → If you’re using a spreadsheet, the Workflow defaults to the first column (A). To use a different column, enter the column’s header name in the field “Name of column containing profile URLs.”

Then specify the input type: LinkedIn Profile URLs, or full names (from LinkedIn’s official export).

Step 2: Connect your LinkedIn account

To let the automation act on your behalf:

1. Install the PhantomBuster browser extension and connect your LinkedIn session in one click.
2. If you’re not using Chrome or Firefox, you can retrieve your session cookie manually (see our cookie guide).

Check your browser user agent
Make sure your browser is up to date before connecting your account. 
→ If your Chrome or Firefox version is outdated, your session cookie may expire much more quickly, and you’ll need to reconnect often.

Step 3: Add your company page URL

• Paste the LinkedIn Company Page URL you want to invite people to follow.
• You must be an admin of the company page to use this Workflow.

Step 4: Set daily limits and schedule invitations

1. Daily invitation limit (optional):
   • Default and if left empty = 100 invites per day.
2. Select when to send invitations:
   • Weekdays during working hours → Sends steadily Monday–Friday in standard office hours.
   • Randomly throughout the day and week → Spreads invites unpredictably.

This Workflow does not have Launch settings or custom scheduling options. The two choices above are the only ways to control timing.

Step 5 (Optional): Advanced settings

Advanced settings are available if you want to fine-tune how your Workflow runs, but by default they’re already optimized for most use cases.

We recommend leaving them as they are unless a guide specifically instructs you to change something.

→ For a detailed overview of all advanced options (like execution limits, retries, email notifications, proxies, webhooks, and file management), see our Advanced settings guide.

Launch and results

When you’re ready:

• Toggle the ON/OFF switch to start your Workflow.

Once it finishes:

• You can track progress in the Workflow's dashboard:
  • Leads tab → Shows the status of each lead being processed by the automation (e.g., Not invited yet, Invited, Accepted, Follow-up sent, Replied, or Could not invite). From here you can search, filter, and also download your results as a CSV.

  • Report tab → Displays performance metrics of your Outreach campaign, including:

    - Time saved
    - Profiles collected, invites sent, accepted invitations
    - Performance progress over time (visual graph of collected vs. invited vs. accepted)

• The next worker agent (or Phantom) to launch is always visible in the Workflow Dashboard. 
  → Look for the line starting with “Next:” to know what’s coming up in the sequence.

Export and input limits on the Free plan
If you’re on the Free plan or Free trial, some features are limited:
- CSV exports include only the first 10 rows of results.
- CSV download links (for dynamic viewing in Google Sheets or integrations) are not available.
- JSON exports are not available.
- CSV upload as an input method is not supported.
To unlock all features, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Tips & troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

• Not enough credits → You might see “No remaining invite credits” when your monthly LinkedIn invitation limit is reached. Learn what this means and when credits refresh.
• Using a private Google Sheet → make sure it’s shared with “Anyone with the link.”
• No custom scheduling → This Workflow doesn’t have Launch settings. You can only choose between the two available options (Weekdays during working hours or Randomly throughout the day and week). It isn’t possible to set other times or frequencies.
• If the Workflow stops working:
  • Errors may not always appear in the Dashboard.
  • To check hidden errors and execution details, open the Logs section from the console page of your Phantom. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Troubleshoot Errors in Workflows.

If you run into issues

• Browse the Fix Issues & Troubleshoot Errors section for solutions to common problems.
• Review our Automation Rate Limits by Platform guide.
• Check our Best Practices for Social Media Automation guide.

Suggested automations

Once you’ve invited people to follow your company page, you can:

• LinkedIn Message Sender → start personalized conversations with new company followers once they connect.
• LinkedIn Post Commenter and Liker Scraper → engage with followers who are also active on posts (likes and comments) to increase visibility and start warm outreach.
• LinkedIn Auto Follow → follow back relevant people to increase your visibility and encourage mutual engagement.
