LinkedIn outreach automation

LinkedIn outreach automation that stops when people reply

Updraft is a LinkedIn outreach automation tool for B2B founders, small agencies and sales teams. It imports the people you want to reach, sends connection requests and messages on a schedule you set, follows up, and stops the sequence the moment someone replies. You only step in for real conversations.

What it automates

  • Lead import from a LinkedIn people search, a Sales Navigator lead search, a CSV file or a list of profile URLs
  • Optional AI qualification of imported leads against your ideal customer profile, with a review inbox for anyone who does not fit
  • Connection requests with no note, a template note or an AI-written note (up to 300 characters)
  • A first message after the request is accepted, then up to 10 follow-ups, each with its own wait
  • Sending in each lead's timezone, inside separate windows for requests and messages, on the days you choose
  • Automatic stop when a lead replies, so nobody gets a scheduled nudge in the middle of a conversation
  • Withdrawal of requests that were never accepted, so your pending list stays clean

How a campaign runs

  1. 1

    Bring your leads

    Paste a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search URL, or upload a CSV. Run a search once, or let it re-run daily and pick up new people.

  2. 2

    Write your sequence

    A connection request, a first message and follow-ups. Each step uses a template with fields like {{first_name}} and {{company}}, or an AI prompt. Preview any step before you start.

  3. 3

    Set the timing

    Choose sending hours and days. Requests and messages have their own windows, and new accounts warm up gradually.

  4. 4

    Let it run

    The tool works through your leads every day. When someone replies, their sequence stops and you take over.

Built-in safety limits

LinkedIn restricts accounts that act like bots. Updraft spaces actions through the day, keeps daily and weekly limits based on your LinkedIn plan, and ramps new accounts up over their first 12 days. Every send, skip and limit is written to an activity log with the reason.

No tool can guarantee that LinkedIn will never restrict an account. The limits are there to keep your activity looking like a careful person, not a script.

Who it is for

  • B2B founders who want sales conversations without spending hours a day on LinkedIn
  • Small agencies running outbound for their own services
  • Consultants and freelancers who sell to a specific type of company
  • Sales reps who want their follow-ups handled while they work on live deals

Questions

Can I automate LinkedIn outreach end to end?
Yes, from finding leads to the point where they reply. Updraft imports leads from a search or a list, qualifies them if you want, sends connection requests, a first message and follow-ups, and stops when the lead replies. The conversation after that is yours.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
No. Regular LinkedIn people searches, CSV files and profile URLs work on any account. Sales Navigator searches need an account that has Sales Navigator.
How much does it cost?
$59 a month for one LinkedIn account, or $590 a year (two months free), with every feature included.
Does it run when my computer is off?
Yes. It runs in the cloud, so it keeps sending during your chosen hours whether or not your browser is open.
