With LinkedIn RSC enabled, you can add both email and LinkedIn InMail steps to a campaign pool. Each step equates to one message. While you can add as many steps as you like, it is recommended to have at least three, but no more than four steps for optimal results.
This workflow can only be used on existing campaign pools. Click here to learn how to create a campaign and set up its settings.
Add steps to a campaign pool
Navigate to the campaign pool and click Add Step.
Set the wait time.
Contrarily, InMails don't adhere to the campaign pool schedule and are delivered within an hour of sending the message.
From the Action dropdown, select whether this step is delivered as an email or LinkedIn InMail. This selection can't be changed once the step is created.
Next, follow the instructions below based on your delivery selection to finalize the step:
Add LinkedIn InMail step
Add a subject line and email copy using plain text.
Use the token dropdown to add default tokens and/or custom candidate tokens to your subject line and email body. Once the InMail is sent, the tokens automatically fill in information such as the prospect's current company.
As you write the InMail, a feature called Email Coach flags behaviors that might mark the message as spam.
Click View to see all of the suggestions.
Any suggestions with an X require your attention. Click Done to return to the email and make the suggested changes.
InMail messages appear on the Task page for finalization before sending.
Click Save Changes when done and repeat this process for each step in your campaign pool.
When you create additional steps, the wait time must be set at a value above 0. For example, if you set the wait time to 3 days, the InMail message appears in the Tasks tab at least three days after the previous message was sent.
Alternatively, click Save & launch if you're adding another step to an existing campaign.

Each email step can require personalization. When enabled, prospects who reach this step in an active campaign pool are paused in the pool until their message is personalized.
Click the toggle to enable personalization.
Once your first email step is configured, click Save Changes and repeat this process for each step in your campaign pool.
Alternatively, click Save launch if you're adding another step to an existing campaign.
When you create additional steps, the wait time must be set at a value above 0. For example, if you set the wait time to 3 days, the email will be delivered at least three days after the previous message was sent.
Additionally, if the campaign pool contains an existing email step, you can select if the email should be a reply or a new thread.
