🚀 What is an automated campaign?
An automated campaign is a scenario that runs on its own to engage your LinkedIn leads.
You define a Sequence of actions (called Sequences) such as visiting a profile, sending a connection request, messages, and follow-ups.
Kanbox takes care of executing each step for you, safely and gradually.
🎯 The goal: save time, scale outreach, and stay within LinkedIn’s behavioral limits.
🧱 Étapes pour créer une campagne
🧱 Steps to create a campaign
Head to the Campaigns section and click + New or duplicate an existing campaign.
Name your campaign
Choose your recipients:
a lead list previously imported into Kanbox from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator
a list of members with a specific label
or the “New Connections” source: each person who becomes a new 1st-degree connection during the campaign will be added automatically
Add Sequences in the order you want them to be executed
Launch the campaign — Kanbox handles the execution
🧩 What is a Sequence in Kanbox?
A Sequence is a campaign step — an automated action that Kanbox will perform for each recipient.
Available Sequences:
Visit profile
Follow member
Like member’s post
Connection request
Send message
Follow-up message 1 → 6
📌 There must be at least one hour between two Sequences for the same recipient, to simulate natural behavior.
📨 What if a connection request is ignored?
In the Connection request Sequence, the block “If the connection request is ignored for X days” (5 to 90 days) lets you decide what happens to leads who haven’t accepted your invitation:
Cancel the connection request: the invitation is withdrawn and the lead moves to the “Request canceled” column.
Send an InMail: the lead receives a Sales Navigator or Recruiter InMail and moves to the “Inmail sent” column.
✉️ Send an InMail
This option only appears if you have a Sales Navigator or Recruiter subscription (if you have both, Sales Navigator is used). To set it up:
Turn on Send an InMail.
Enter a subject (required by LinkedIn).
Write your message. Variables, alternative messages and AI prompts work just like in other messages.
When it’s sent:
If Cancel the connection request is also on, the invitation is withdrawn first, then the InMail is sent.
Otherwise, the InMail is sent once the delay has passed and the invitation stays pending.
Each lead receives at most one InMail.
Good to know:
Set your daily maximum in Settings › Imports and automations limits › Daily inmails sent (10 by default). Each InMail uses one of your LinkedIn InMail credits; when they run out, sending pauses until the next day.
With Sales Navigator, only leads imported from a Sales Navigator search or list can receive an InMail. Leads imported from a LinkedIn search, a CSV file or a post will end up in error.
⚠️ Replies to InMails are not tracked. They arrive in your Sales Navigator or Recruiter inbox, so a lead who replies there won’t be marked as “replied”. Follow these conversations directly in Sales Navigator or Recruiter.
📊 A Pipeline is automatically generated
When you launch a campaign, Kanbox automatically creates a dedicated Pipeline linked to it.
Each column represents one of the campaign’s Sequences.
🔄 Les leads sont automatiquement déplacés d’une colonne à l’autre au fur et à mesure qu’ils avancent dans le scénario.
💡 As the campaign progresses:
leads are moved automatically from one column to the next
you can visualize their current stage
and interact with them manually if needed
⏱️ Member status (accepted connection, replied message, etc.) is synced every hour.
📈 View campaign statistics
Each campaign provides access to detailed performance statistics so you can evaluate its impact at a glance.
You can track:
the total number of processed members
the number of connection requests sent
the acceptance rate of those connection requests
the reply rate to your messages
These indicators help you:
identify the most effective Sequences
refine your messages or targeting if needed
compare the results between different campaigns
💡 Stats are updated automatically as the campaign progresses.
You can view them at any time from the campaign details page.
🕒 How are campaigns executed?
Kanbox schedules and adjusts actions daily based on:
your quota limits
your defined working hours
and each lead’s progress in the campaign
🧠 All tasks are visible either from the “Tasks” tab inside the campaign, or globally via the Asynchronous Tasks menu in the left sidebar.
⌛ Task statuses:
Scheduled – the task is planned and waiting for execution
Processing Browser – the task is running in the browser
Processing – the task is running in the cloud (if enabled)
✅ Task outcomes: success or error
Once executed, tasks appear with one of the following statuses:
DONE – task completed successfully
ERROR – task failed
➡️ If the error is related to Kanbox (e.g. a connection issue), the task is automatically rescheduled.
➡️ If the error is related to LinkedIn (e.g. profile deleted, blocked, or inaccessible), the task is discarded..
📌 Campaign statuses
Draft – the campaign is being created
Running – campaign is active (⚠️ max 3 active campaigns at once)
Queued – waiting for a slot if 3 are already running
Completed – all recipients have finished the sequence
Archived – campaign has been closed or archived
🔐 Key rules to remember
🕐 A minimum of 1 hour is required between Sequences for a single lead
🚫 A lead can’t be in multiple campaigns at once
🌐 Execution happens in the browser or in the cloud, depending on your settings
📅 Campaigns respect your custom quotas and schedules
