LinkedIn integration in the Mixmax Sidebar is available on the Mixmax Growth plan and above, but advanced Rules and multi-channel Sequences are available only on the Enterprise plan. Check out our pricing page for more information.

You can now send LinkedIn InMail and connection requests directly from Gmail, including the ability to schedule social follow-up tasks based on engagement or time using Mixmax Sequences.

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.

Send connection request task stage

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.

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.

Completing LinkedIn Sales Navigator Tasks
