Use Multiple LinkedIn Accounts to Extract more Leads in one Automation

This guide shows you how to use multiple LinkedIn accounts in one automation. You’ll learn how to activate the multi-LinkedIn account feature, how PhantomBuster splits the workload, and what happens if one account disconnects during a run.

This feature helps if:

• You’re hitting volume limits with one LinkedIn account.
• You want to scale without duplicating automations.
• You’re managing multiple accounts in the same workspace.

It is currently only available for the LinkedIn Search Export and the LinkedIn Profile Scraper Phantoms.

This is a tutorial on how to use multiple LinkedIn accounts in one of these Phantoms: 

Why use multiple LinkedIn accounts

Using several LinkedIn accounts in one automation lets you:

• Extract more leads per day Each LinkedIn account can safely extract up to 1,000 results per day. For example, using 3 LinkedIn accounts means you can extract up to 3,000 results safely.
• Avoid duplicating automations You don’t need to clone or set up multiple Phantoms to scale.
• Make the most of all accounts in your workspace Maximize value from multiple LinkedIn accounts.
• Track everything in one place Everything is managed from one Phantom, with one result file.

How to set it up

To use multiple LinkedIn accounts with the LinkedIn Search Export and the LinkedIn Profile Scraper Phantoms:

1. Log in to your PhantomBuster workspace.
2. Go to the Solutions page and search for the LinkedIn Search Export or LinkedIn Profile Scraper Phantom.
   
3. Click Use now and select Switch to the Advanced setup on the bottom left-hand corner to access the multi-LinkedIn accounts feature.
   

4. In the Connect to LinkedIn step, select all the LinkedIn accounts you want to use.

   Each LinkedIn account must be connected and active in your workspace.
   

5. In the Behavior step, set the total number of results you want the Phantom to extract.

   Recommended limit:1,000 results per LinkedIn account per day

   Example: If you select 3 LinkedIn accounts, set the total results to 3,000.
   

6. Finish the setup and click Save & launch.

How the workload is split between the selected LinkedIn accounts

When you configure a Phantom to extract a specific number of results and assign multiple LinkedIn accounts, the workload is evenly distributed across the selected accounts.

Example: If you set the Phantom to extract 3,000 results using 3 LinkedIn accounts, each account will extract 1,000 profiles.

Key behaviors to know:

• Workload is split equally:

  The distribution is automatic and even. You can’t customize the number of results per account.

• Accounts are used in selection order:

  The Phantom will begin using the first account you selected and move down the list.

• Execution time may increase slightly:

  Each additional account requires authentication before extracting, so setup time at the start of the run can be longer.

Where to find your results

You can find the leads in:

1. The Results tab in your Phantom’s console:

• All leads are grouped into one CSV file.
• Each row includes a column called Search Account Full Name, showing which LinkedIn account extracted the lead.
  

2. Your LinkedIn Leads page:

Once the Phantom finishes running:

• Click View my list from the Leads tab.
• On your LinkedIn Leads page, you can: ◦ Browse the list of leads. ◦ Click on a lead to view details. ◦ In the History tab, see which account extracted the lead.
  

What happens if one LinkedIn account disconnects

If one of the selected LinkedIn account becomes disconnected during a run:

• The Phantom continues running using the remaining connected LinkedIn accounts.
• The workload of the disconnected account is not reassigned.
• You’ll see an error message in the Phantom’s console.

To fix it:

1. Open the Phantom’s console.
2. Click Resolve.
3. Depending on the type of LinkedIn account:
   • If it’s your own: Reconnect using session cookies.
   • If it belongs to a contributor or a workspace member’s account: Send a magic link.

Once reconnected, the LinkedIn account will be used again in the next launch.

Where to check disconnected accounts

1. In the Connect to LinkedIn step of the Phantom setup:

• Disconnected accounts appear at the bottom of the list.
  

• Click Reconnect to trigger a new magic link.
  

  2. You can also manage and reconnect LinkedIn accounts in Users & accounts section:

• From your User menu, go to your Workspace section, and select Users & accounts.
• Open the Users tab to see all LinkedIn accounts.
• From there, you can view status and re-connect. 
  

How multi-LinkedIn account automation works with multiple search URLs

When you use multiple LinkedIn accounts and several search URLs as input, PhantomBuster splits the work between your LinkedIn accounts and launches to stay within your limits.

Here’s how it works, step by step:

1. Each launch has a results limit set in the Phantom’s settings (e.g. 500 results per launch).
2. Each search URL also has a results cap, usually 300 results max per URL.
3. PhantomBuster picks the smaller of the two limits (in this case: 300), and shares that total across all your LinkedIn accounts.

So if you use 3 LinkedIn accounts, each one will collect around 100 results (300 divided by 3) from that URL.

Now if you’ve added multiple URLs to your input. PhantomBuster will:

• Start with the first URL and assign each LinkedIn account part of the allowed results.
• Move on to the next URL in the same launch (if there’s still room left in your per-launch total).
• Continue across launches if needed, always keeping track of what’s left to extract.

Example:

• Results per launch: 500
• Results per URL: 300
• Identities: 3
• Input URLs: 5

PhantomBuster will extract up to 100 results per LinkedIn account from the first URL, then move to the next URL and continue.
If one launch doesn’t finish a URL, the next launch will pick up where it left off.

This ensures every LinkedIn account stays within safe limits while covering all your URLs efficiently.

How to send your results to HubSpot after a multi-LinkedIn account run

Multi-LinkedIn account automations work the same as single-account automations when sending data to HubSpot.

Once the Phantom has run:

1. Go to the Results tab in the Phantom’s console.
2. Click Send to HubSpot.
   
3. A new HubSpot integration Phantom will open automatically. The Data to send step will already be filled with the results from your last run.
4. Complete the Behavior step and click Save & launch.
   

No extra steps needed, your leads are sent to HubSpot as usual.
