# AI LinkedIn Outreach and Prospect Discovery > Use your connected LinkedIn account to find relevant people, qualify their fit, and start a conversation. Loop keeps the prospect, message history, and next action together. Canonical page: https://getprospectloop.com/solutions/linkedin-outreach Prospect Loop connects LinkedIn search, profile context, invitations, messages, and reply handling through Unipile. ## Search from your approved buyer criteria. Describe the roles, industries, and company characteristics your offer serves. Loop searches through the connected account and uses available profile and company context to assess the match. Search access depends on your account and the outreach provider. You can save a named prospect list and select its eligible contacts for a campaign. Searches keep their progress between runs. A requested list size is a maximum to work toward, not a promise that enough suitable people exist or will be returned. ## Make the introduction fit the person and channel. A short LinkedIn message needs a clear connection between the person’s work and your offer. Loop uses approved business information and recorded prospect evidence to prepare the introduction. You can review a draft and inspect the reason a profile qualifies before launching. The agent should not claim you met before, pretend to have read material it was never given, or promise outcomes your business cannot support. Keep your proof and forbidden claims in the approved business profile so they remain available throughout the conversation. ## Follow the connection’s actual state. LinkedIn delivery uses an account connected through Unipile. A pasted LinkedIn profile URL is not an account connection. Invitations wait for acceptance before the relevant messaging step can proceed, and daily limits and scheduled delays remain part of campaign execution. Once you explicitly authorize a ready campaign, autopilot can prepare and send eligible messages and normal replies within its limits. Missing setup, an account restriction, or an uncertain delivery result can hold work for review. Pacing does not remove LinkedIn’s restrictions on third-party automation. - Connect the intended LinkedIn account and check readiness. - Review the selected audience and a representative introduction. - Choose limits and authorize the campaign before live outreach. ## Keep the conversation ahead of the sequence. A recorded reply stops the cold outreach sequence. Loop checks conversation context, uses your approved information to handle ordinary questions, and holds unclear replies for your attention. Detected stop requests suppress further outreach. LinkedIn replies are checked during scheduled campaign work rather than through an instant inbound-message webhook. Large queues or provider problems can delay detection. For interested buyers, a ready calendar connection allows the agent to offer available times and book only after a clear selection. ## HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE: A consultant reaches the right role. A consultant targets operations leaders in an approved industry. Loop saves matching profiles and prepares an introduction using the consultant’s approved offer and the available business context. The consultant reviews the audience and authorizes the campaign. An accepted connection can progress to the messaging step. When a reply is recorded, the cold sequence stops and the conversation takes over. This is an illustrative workflow, not a claim about acceptance or reply rates. ## What you need to get started - An approved client account, buyer brief, and business information. - Your own LinkedIn account connected through a configured Unipile service. - Explicit campaign authorization, suitable sending limits, and an active scheduler. - A verified Cal.com connection if the campaign will arrange meetings. ## Questions ### Is this an official LinkedIn integration? The connection is provided through Unipile. It is not LinkedIn-approved. LinkedIn restricts third-party automation, and account restrictions remain possible even with conservative pacing. ### Can I test the connection before launching a campaign? The workspace supports a separately authorized, labeled test message to an existing first-degree connection. That test is separate from campaign activity and does not establish how a wider campaign will perform. ### How do I decide whether LinkedIn fits my outreach?
