Engaging with Prospects: Likes, Comments & Profile Views

Key takeaways

  • What if the prospect has no posts? The engage_post step is skipped automatically.
  • Can I browse posts without engaging? Yes. The activity panel is view-only until you click Like or Comment.

The Engage Post Campaign Step

The engage_post step automatically engages with a prospect's most recent LinkedIn post.

How It Works

  1. Fetches the prospect's most recent post
  2. Performs the configured action (like, comment, or both)
  3. Moves to the next step

Options: Like only (safest), Comment (uses template), Like + Comment (maximum visibility).

If the prospect has no recent posts, the step is skipped automatically.

The View Profile Step

The view_profile step visits a prospect's LinkedIn profile, showing your name in their "Who Viewed Your Profile" section.

Best placement: View Profile → Wait 1-2 days → Send Connection Request.

Browsing Prospect Activity

View prospect posts directly from the Audiences page:

  1. Go to LinkedInAudiences
  2. Select an audience
  3. Click the posts icon on any profile row
  4. See their last 5 posts with engagement counts
  5. Use Like and Comment buttons to engage directly

Useful for pre-campaign research, manual engagement, and verifying prospect activity.

Best Practices

For Campaigns: Place engage_post early (before messages). Like-only is safer at scale. Space engagement from connection requests by 1-2 days.

For Manual Engagement: Engage with 2-3 posts before connecting. Write thoughtful comments. Focus on recently active prospects. Prioritize high-engagement posts (Notable badge).
