Manage LinkedIn outreach sequences with Linked API and Google Sheets

Automate your LinkedIn outreach with this n8n workflow powered by Linked API. Sends connection requests, monitors acceptance, delivers your pre-written messages, and follows up automatically – all tracked in Google Sheets.

How it works

Connection phase – Sends connection requests to leads with status NEW, respects daily limits Monitoring – Checks if connections were accepted, expired, or declined Messaging – Sends your pre-written messages (up to 3) after connection is accepted Follow-up – Automatically follows up if no reply, marks leads as NO_RESPONSE after timeout Tracking – All statuses and timestamps are saved to Google Sheets

Setup steps

Connect credentials: Google Sheets (OAuth2) Linked API (get key here)

Configure DOCUMENT_LINK in the Config node (paste your spreadsheet URL)

Add leads with Status = NEW and fill in Message 1, Message 2, Message 3
