LinkedIn Outreach Agent

byHelmOutreach

Researched, on-voice LinkedIn outreach, ready for you to send.

Works with

Slack

Overview

The LinkedIn Outreach Agent runs engagement-first prospecting on LinkedIn. It researches each prospect, drafts a thoughtful comment, a short connection note, and a post-acceptance DM sequence, all grounded in CRM context. Because LinkedIn has no API to send connection requests or DMs, it prepares them for you to send, and logs every touch.

What it does

What it takes off your plate.

Prospect research

Pulls the prospect's profile, company, and recent posts for context, cross-referenced with your CRM.

Content engagement

Drafts a genuine, specific comment on a recent post to warm up, and can post it through a connected account where allowed.

Connection requests

Drafts a personalized connection note under 200 characters, with a specific reference and no pitch, for you to send.

DM sequencing

Drafts the post-acceptance sequence: a conversation starter, a value-add, and a soft ask, spaced over days.

CRM logging

Logs every comment, request, and DM as an activity, and moves the deal stage as the conversation progresses.

Honest about the platform

Never claims to automate connection requests or DMs. It prepares them; you send, so your account stays in good standing.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can it send connection requests and DMs for me?

No, and that's deliberate. LinkedIn has no API for sending connection requests or DMs, and tools that automate them risk your account. The agent drafts both for you to send by hand. It can post engagement comments through a connected account where your tier allows.

What do I need to get started?

A Helm workspace with the prospects you want to reach in your CRM and pipeline, and a Slack channel for the queue. Connect a LinkedIn account if you want it to post engagement comments on the Managed and Full tiers.

How does it keep outreach personal?

It researches each prospect's profile, company, and recent posts, and grounds every draft in a specific, real reference. Connection notes stay under 200 characters with no pitch, and the DM sequence opens with a conversation, not a sell.

How is this different from the LinkedIn Ghostwriter agent?

The Ghostwriter writes posts for your own audience to build presence. The LinkedIn Outreach agent runs one-to-one prospecting against specific pipeline leads: comments, connection notes, and DM sequences. One is broadcast, the other is direct outreach.

How do the tiers work?

QA researches and drafts everything for manual send. Managed posts engagement comments after your approval. Full posts comments on a schedule. Connection requests and DMs are always drafted for you to send, on every tier, because of the platform limitation.
