Simple campaigns are linear sequences that work in the order that you set. Each prospect will pass through each step until they reply. A simple campaign still allows you to send LinkedIn connections, messages, InMails, videos and email.

πŸ’‘Unsure which campaign type to choose? Check out this article

Getting Started

  1. Select "Campaigns" from the menu on the left of the screen

  2. Select "New Campaign" from the right and then select "Pick Simple"

  3. The campaign screen will open. Enter the campaign name in "Campaign Name" and select your outreach method - "LinkedIn + Email" or "Email only".

  4. Update your campaign settings. You can click on the "?" to find out what each setting does, here's a quick explanation:

    1. Link Tracking - this will track clicks on links in your email content

    2. Premium Only - this will only bring prospects in from your search that have Premium LinkedIn accounts

    3. Include Prospects - this will allow you to send messages to prospects you're already connected to or had a conversation with. If your search is a 1st level connection search this must be turned 'On', in most other cases this would be turned 'Off'.

    4. Move Prospects - this will allow you to add prospects to this campaign that are present in other campaigns.

Adding Prospects

  1. Select "Add Search" on the right to add prospects to your campaign.

  2. Most users add prospects either via a Sales Nav search link or a CSV upload, but we've got lots of options depending on your use case.

  3. To add any link add the URL into "Paste Link Here", select how many prospects you want to add and select "Add Search". Outreachly will begin adding prospects to your campaign.

Adding Steps

  1. Select the orange "+ Add Steps" and then select your step from the list. Note that not all of the steps shown below may be available as this will depend on your plan.

  2. Once you've added your step click on it to open the step editor. Here you can update the content and the delay from the previous step. If the step is an email step you can add a subject line, signature and the accounts that can be used to send the email.

  3. Select "Save Step" and repeat the process to build your sequence.

πŸŽ“ Tip: To bring the prospect's contact details and work experience into the platform you'll need to add a "View Profile" step after the connection step.

Launching your Simple Campaign

  1. Once you've added the steps to your campaign, select "Save" or "Run Campaign" from the bottom centre of the main screen.

  2. You can pause and restart campaigns using the orange toggle feature on the main campaign screen.
