# LinkedIn
## How does it work
Zero's LinkedIn extension syncs messages with your contacts automatically into Zero.
**You'll see the messages under Feed and Activity:**
**You can view the LinkedIn connection status and last message with properties "LinkedIn connections" and "Last activity":**
**Also, all the messages are in your Inbox**
**You can save contacts and companies directly from LinkedIn to Zero:**
## How to install
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Add the [Zero Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zeroinc-connect-linkedin/hnkgdhehofgpjcobgckaofmlgimichim) to your Chrome or Chromium-based browser, like Arc or Brave
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Pin the extension
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Connect the extension
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## LinkedIn Bulk Messaging
Sending LinkedIn messages in bulk from Zero is now possible with the Zero Chrome Extension.
### How it works
* **You can send up to 50 messages per 24-hour rolling window.**
* **Only 1st-degree connections can be messaged. Contacts must have valid LinkedIn data (e.g., LinkedIn handle) in Zero.**
* **Drafts are created in Zero but sent from LinkedIn with the Zero Chrome extension.**
* **You need to open LinkedIn and trigger the campaign manually.**
* **Messages are sent automatically in the background. Keep the LinkedIn tab open while the campaign runs!**
### Creating Draft LinkedIn Messages
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open a contacts list.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Select contacts and click the paper plane icon on the bottom bar.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In the message composer, choose LinkedIn from top. Pick a Zero account as sender and write your message template.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click contacts on the left to preview personalization.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click Add to Chrome Extension.
* ⚠️ Contacts must be 1st-degree connections of the sender
* The Chrome Extension must be installed with fully synced connections.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Drafts are now available in the extension, and can also be viewed in **Inbox > Drafts > Campaign #n** in Zero.
You can rename the campaign via `··· > Rename`.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### Executing a Bulk Message Campaign
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open LinkedIn and click the Zero logo (bottom-left).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Select the campaign and start it.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**⚠️ Keep the tab open** - do not refresh, navigate away, or click links while running.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
You can pause a campaign by clicking it. Pausing may take a few seconds if a message is mid-send.
If you close the tab or browser abruptly, we make sure no duplicate messages are sent when restarting - but the message that was in progress may not be delivered, and we have no way of confirming whether it went through.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Once the campaign finishes, you’ll get a notification.
* If any messages fail, you’ll also be alerted.
* Failed messages can be found in **Inbox > Drafts** under a red "Campaigns with failed messages" banner.
* Re-add failed messages via `··· > Re-add messages`
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### Using Automations for generating drafts
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to Automations and create a new automation.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Choose “Contacts” as the record type for whichever trigger you prefer.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Add the Send LinkedIn Message action.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Choose which Zero account to assign the message drafts and write your message template.
* ⚠️ Contacts must be 1st-degree connections of the sender
* The Chrome Extension must be installed with fully synced connections.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
When you’re happy with the template, give a name to your automation, activate the automation from the upper right corner and press the save button
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
When the extension runs, it creates a campaign named: `Automation: {automation name or ID}`
* Drafts are now ready to send and visible under **Inbox > Drafts**.
* ⚠️ If you rename the campaign manually, the automation will just create another campaign under the original name. To fully rename it, rename the automation itself.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
