If you need one Phantom to start a set number of days after another (e.g., LinkedIn Auto Follow 2 days after LinkedIn Auto Liker), you can do this directly in your launch settings.

Setting the delay in week 1:

1. Open the Advanced section of your second Phantom’s launch settings.

2. Pick the days/times so the launch happens after your first Phantom by the number of days you want.

Example: Run Auto Liker on Wednesday/Thursday, then Auto Follow on Monday/Tuesday.

3. Use a LinkedIn Leads list filtered by Processed by Phantom = [First Phantom] so only leads touched by the first step are processed in the second step.

4. Remove any default days/times you don’t need.

After the first week:
Once both Phantoms have been running for at least one full cycle, you don’t need to manually set the gap each week. 
The “Processed by Phantom” filter will naturally ensure the second Phantom only processes leads that went through the first one earlier, preserving the delay.
