LinkedIn Auto Connect LinkedIn Outreach LinkedIn Search to Lead Outreach LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection LinkedIn Group Members to Outreach LinkedIn Post Engagers to Lead Outreach LinkedIn Company Follower Collector to Outreach LinkedIn Search to Outreach |
"Error loading Send modal" |
We’ve identified an issue affecting LinkedIn Phantoms used for outreach where Phantom successfully connects to LinkedIn, but in some cases, it does not send the invitation as expected. This behavior is related to LinkedIn-imposed limits, which are especially noticeable on free LinkedIn accounts. Our engineering team has confirmed the root cause. Since the Phantom is functioning correctly within these platform-imposed constraints, we've updated the error message to better reflect what’s happening - so it’s clearer when the issue is tied to LinkedIn limitations. |

🟡 Known Issue |
| LinkedIn Auto Invitation Withdrawer | - |
We’ve identified an issue with the LinkedIn Auto Invitation Withdrawer. While the Phantom connects to LinkedIn successfully, it does not always withdraw invitations in the exact oldest → newest order. Instead, some of the oldest invitations at the very bottom of your list may be skipped. Once those are ignored, the Phantom continues withdrawing invitations in the expected sequence. This behavior is caused by recent changes on LinkedIn’s platform that prevent the bottom part of your sent invitations from being fully visible. Our engineering team has confirmed the root cause and is tracking this, but since the Phantom continues to function in most cases, a full fix is not prioritized at the moment. We are monitoring the situation and will update if a long-term solution becomes available. |
You can continue to use your Phantom - it will still withdraw invitations from oldest to newest, aside from those that LinkedIn currently hides. | 🟡 Known Issue |
| Sales Navigator Phantoms LinkedIn Phantoms |
The results are in another language |
We've identified an issue with Sales Navigator and LinkedIn Phantoms. While the Phantom connects to LinkedIn successfully and processes the input, results may be returned in the wrong language (French, Dutch, etc.) instead of the language set in the account. This behavior is caused by a recent change on LinkedIn's platform as they now override the account language setting based on IP geolocation. Our engineering team has confirmed the root cause and is tracking this. As the fix may also come from LinkedIn's side, a full fix is not prioritized at the moment. |
