Sequences
Schedule InMail or connection request tasks to follow up based on engagement or time as steps within a Sequence. Using Mixmax Tasks within a sequence requires the Mixmax Enterprise plan. After enabling the LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration, the following options will be added as stage actions:
LinkedIn Sales Navigator: Connection Request
When this stage is triggered within your sequence, a new Mixmax Task will be created for you to send a connection request to the recipient.
The Mixmax task will allow you to copy your optional message into the connection request, edit it to your liking, and send it. Read below for more information on completing LinkedIn Sales Navigator tasks in Mixmax.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator: InMail
When this stage is triggered by your sequence, a new Mixmax Task will be created for you to send an InMail to your desired recipient.
The Mixmax task will allow you to copy your optional message into the InMail message body, edit it to your liking, and send it. Read below for more information on completing LinkedIn Sales Navigator tasks in Mixmax.
Rules
With Mixmax's LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration, you can automatically create a Rule to create an InMail or Connection Request task. Using Rules to create Tasks requires the Mixmax Enterprise plan.
To set up a LinkedIn Sales Navigator rule, go to the Rules section of the Mixmax dashboard. Click the New Rule button to create a new rule. In the example below, we will set up a rule to send a LinkedIn Sales Navigator connection request when an email is opened 3 times.
1. Choose a trigger app
Click a trigger app under Mixmax, such as Email, Sequence, or Meeting, or select a 3rd-party service, such as Salesforce. For our example, we're selecting Email as our trigger app.
2. Select a trigger
In this example, we'll use My email is opened.
3. Choose a filter (optional)
You can filter for specific sequences, attachments read, recipients replied, etc. In this example, we'll create a LinkedIn Sales Navigator connection request when Number of times opened by one recipient is equal to 3.
4. Choose an action
Select Sales Navigator task Connection request. When this rule triggers, a new task will be created in Mixmax Tasks to send a connection request.
For more details on using and creating rules, please take a look at our Rules article.
Completing LinkedIn Sales Navigator Tasks
When a scheduled LinkedIn Sales Navigator Rule or Sequence stage is triggered, an automated task will be created and added to your Mixmax Tasks dashboard. Mixmax Tasks are available on the Mixmax Enterprise plan. From the Mixmax Tasks Workflow, you can send your LinkedIn Sales Navigator Connection request or InMail.
If you added an optional message to your Sequence stage or Rule, you could click the Insert button to automatically copy the message to your LinkedIn Sales Navigator InMail or Connection request before sending.
