How to automate your lead connections on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

The template scrapes a Saved list of leads, extracting their profile links and names. It then opens each profile link in Chrome, clicks on the menu option, clicks Connect and enters a customized message for each lead using their name. Finally, it clicks Send invitation. This process ensures that a personalized message is sent iteratively to each lead when connecting.
