How to do AI Automation on LinkedIn 079 LinkedIn Live 2024 with Joe Apfelbaum
In this 79th LinkedIn Live episode, Joe Apfelbaum walks viewers through a comprehensive, hands‑on demonstration of how to automate and scale LinkedIn business development using AI tools. He begins by thanking the audience and promoting his AI Business Development Circle, then dives into the LinkedIn Services feature, showing how to receive service requests, reply with Evie AI‑generated proposal templates, and capture contact information. He illustrates moving leads into a CRM, creating pipeline opportunities, and setting follow‑up tasks. Next, he showcases a "Daily LinkedIn Pod Automation" that emails a curated list of engagement‑group members each morning, using scheduled automations, HTML‑formatted messages, and LinkedIn URLs. He also demonstrates real‑time community engagement: commenting, liking, and posting on member and company pages via Evie AI, handling connection requests, and managing mentions. Throughout, he highlights the integration of Sales Navigator, email verification, and fallback methods when limits are hit. The session ends with a call‑to‑action for viewers to join future lives, join his AI circle, and share feedback.

Today is the 79th episode of us doing LinkedIn Live, YouTube Live, Facebook Live. We are live streaming, we are alive, and we are doing fantastic. And life is amazing, and it's such a blessing to be alive in today's day and age when you could do some incredible things. And I'm going to be sharing my screen in a minute, but I want you to know that I'm very grateful that you're in my life. I'm grateful that I'm able to find all these incredible tools and share them with the world. I'm grateful that I have so many amazing clients and so many amazing friends and so many amazing people that want to learn and grow and take their life to a whole new level. So if you're watching this live, give it a like so I can notice you or give it a comment. Let me know where you're dialing in from. Let me know what your goals are with LinkedIn, who you want to meet, what you want to do. LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network. It's an extremely powerful tool that many people are not using correctly. And when I show somebody the potential that LinkedIn has and also how to use robots to automate parts of LinkedIn, their mind just gets blown completely because you don't even have to automate things on LinkedIn. You can automate things off LinkedIn that help you be able to do LinkedIn much better. And if you don't know what I've been up to, I've been building robots. I have many different robots that I'm building that helps me with all different types of things. So if you want to learn how to build robots, we're actually having a session on Monday at 2:00 PM. So if you'd like to join that, just let me know that you'd like to join it. I'd be happy to include you in the AI Business Development Circle. We meet once a month for 3 hours and we talk about all the things artificial intelligence, and everybody there gets so much value every single time. And I always come with the goodies because I always have new things to share in the AI circle. So it's evergreen.com/aicircle, E-V-Y-R-G-R-E-E-N.com/aicircle. It is the evening now. I'm not gonna go for very long here today, but I wanted to show you an engagement strategy that I came up with that I think is pretty nifty strategy. If you, if I'm, if I may say so myself, it's a pretty nifty strategy. So if you want a nifty strategy, just write nifty in the chat. Be happy to share my nifty strategy with you. I also created a video on my LinkedIn profile in my services page. If you're not familiar with LinkedIn services, LinkedIn services is linkedin.com/services. So let me show you how LinkedIn services work. I am going to go ahead and share my screen briefly and kind of just show you how the LinkedIn services features work. And if you want a full tutorial on how LinkedIn services work, just write services in the chat. I'll be more than happy to share that with you. All right, let's see what this looks like. Let's see if you were able to see my screen. I'm going to tune my screen in, and I'm also going to pop my webcam on the right side. Oh, look at that. My webcam is front and center. Let me turn off my webcam. And then slide into this screen over here. My webcam is small on the right side, and you see my audio mixer there, which I will turn off right now. All right, boom. And actually, I'm going to move— not that— I'm going to move my video down just like that. Do you like this? Let me know if you like it or not. Let me know what you think. And I'm going to move this like that. Boom. Just make— making some minor adjustments here, ladies and gentlemen. Minor adjustments. Oh, let Look at that. I'm bringing that in, making it tight. Last time I blocked half my video. There you go. Boom. Now you can see everything. Now you can see everything that I'm seeing. All right, so if you're in it to win it, just write, I'm in it to win it in the chat and let's get the party rolling. First of all, I am working on some pretty amazing automations over here. This is called the Daily LinkedIn Pod Automation. So the way this works is I have, I made a little video. I made a little video. I'll show you the video that I made. A video. Okay, I wanted to show you the video real quick, and then I'll show you my automation. So check this out. You're on my profile. You see my first name, my last name, my company name, what I do. You see how many followers I have. Then you go down and you see something that says resources, and you see an about section, and you start reading my about section. You're like, oh wow, he's a single father of 5. He has a LinkedIn summary here. He He does artificial intelligence with the AI Circle that I spoke about. He has a LinkedIn AI assistant. You wanna learn LinkedIn? Boom, boom, boom. You have a funnel you can watch. You can talk to him. You could hire him. Here's some text. Here's some information that I speak about. Here's my speaker reel. Here's my goal. Look at that. Who I wanna meet. All this other stuff, right? All this stuff. I, I'm actually gonna update this. I'm actually going to update this because I have the date from 12/20/23, so I have to update it. I'm going to update it. And then look at this services page. So this is the services page I was talking about. Dan Donnelly left me a recommendation. He said Ajax Union did a great job at optimizing my LinkedIn profile and creating my company page. After I signed up to the LinkedIn Authority Blueprint, my traffic on LinkedIn skyrocketed. Look at that 5-star review. Beautiful. And then I have this little video here. When you click on it, it takes you to my services page. Now, if I click on requests, You'll notice I have a request. Look at that. 9 hours ago, 18 hours ago, 1 day ago, 2 days ago. I have to respond to all these requests. So I'm going to respond. So how do I respond to these requests? Well, the way that I respond to these requests, let's see what it says. Ongoing over here. I'm going to press submit proposal and it's going to say, you want to submit a proposal? What's the channels he wants? He needs help with LinkedIn. So I'm going to go here. I'm going to go like that. And then I'm going to type in search. Services, LinkedIn Services. You see that's a connection request, send a message, and a direct message. I'm going to do send a message. Okay, and these templates are built right into Evie AI. You don't have to worry about it. You have the templates right inside Evie AI. You press submit, and now he gets a message from me. He gets he gets that message that I sent him the proposal. Now I'm also going to send him a message instead of writing this message over here. I'm going to delete this message, and instead what I'm going to do is I'm going to send him. A services direct message. Services. I'm going to send him a direct message. Mahin, I sent you a proposal, blah blah blah. I'm going to press send, and I just sent him a DM. So I sent him a message and a DM. Now I move on to the next person. There's a person called Barrett Griffin. He wants some help with copywriting and include and improving his his his presence. I'm going to press submit proposal. I'm going to do the same thing. You see that? I'm going to go here. I'm going to send him this message here. I'm going to press submit. And then I'm going to send him a DM as well. Okay? Close this out. I'm going to delete this. Now it just so happens, it just so happens, direct message, it just so happens that this person might be a person that I actually reached out to through Sales Navigator. So I'm going to Control-click on his profile. And then what I'm going to do, I'm going to click on the more button here. And then I'm going to click on view in Sales Navigator. Just to kind of see if I messaged him. It looks like I did reach out to him on 5/18/2024. Oh my gosh. That's the last touchpoint I had. But what did I, did I talk to him before? Let me see. Did I talk to him before? No, he has an open profile. And so I'm going to message him over here. I'm going to say, thank you for submitting the request. Would you be so kind to share your cell and email with me? Happy to help you. Okay, so I wrote that manually. I'm going to press send. It says send failed. You reached the limit of InMail sends for the month. Okay, well, I guess I sent 800 InMails this month. The month will be over soon, so I can't even send them an InMail, but that's okay. Because I have this tool here. I'm going to save his email. I'm going to pull up his mobile phone. His email is verifying now. So if it can't verify his email, it's not going to work. But I do have his cell phone right over here. I can't call him now because it's the middle of the night. But let me— if his email doesn't come up here, I'm going to pull up his email over here and see if his email comes. I'm going to say saved. I'm going to go to the list just to see if it works. Saved, interested in LinkedIn support. Saved from LinkedIn, Barry Griffin. Look at his email's right here. Okay, so I'm going to copy his email. I'm going to go into my CRM real quick. And everybody should have a proper CRM. If you don't have a proper CRM, you're really missing out. I'm going to pop him in here, pop his email in. I'm going to grab his cell phone number from right here so I can call him on Monday or maybe tomorrow. I'll text him tomorrow, ask him if he can talk. I'm gonna close this out over here. So when one fails, I have another one, another backup in case one fails, you see? It's not, there's so many different ways to be able to get information. I have a third way as well using artificial intelligence to find his contact info. I'm gonna press save. And now I'm gonna grab his regular LinkedIn URL. I'm gonna copy it. I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna save it right here. This way it can be enriched. And then I'm going to add him to a pipeline. I'm going to go down here to Opportunities, Add, and then I'm going to add him to the Blueprint pipeline. I'm going to make him $5,597, and I'm going to say he is interested. You see, he's interested in $5,597. I'm going to assign it to myself. I'll deal with this. I'm going to press Create. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a task for myself. See, I'm going to go in here. I'm going to create a little task. I'm going to say he reached out. I'm going to press Ctrl+H, Windows+H. He reached out through LinkedIn services and he is interested in LinkedIn services. He's a chief technology officer. And I sent him a message through LinkedIn to reply to his request. And I will call him on Monday. Press save. Now I'm gonna go in here. You see this is tasks. I can add a task for myself. Call on Monday about LinkedIn services. Call on Monday about LinkedIn services. Okay, and I'm gonna assign it to myself over here. And then I'm gonna put this in for Monday. At, let's see what time, Monday at 8:00 AM. That's fine. Monday at 8:00 AM, it works. I will definitely be up at that time. So I'm going to get a message on Monday at 8:00 AM. I have them right here and it's all good. Let me just go to the next person. You see that? So that was a lead that came in and I already responded to that beautiful lead. Moving on. Next, I have this person over here. This person wants search engine optimization. For himself. Okay, let me check out his profile real quick just to see what he's about. He's in Pakistan. Okay. See what he does for a living. Medical training. He's a freelancer. He's a content writer freelancer. Okay, I'm not going to prioritize reaching out to him. I'm not going to prioritize reaching out to him. I'm not going to prioritize reaching out to him. Social media marketing from Mumbai, a student. Okay, so I don't have to respond to all these people. Let me just quickly check this person here from California. Okay, this looks real. This looks, this looks real. It doesn't look like spam. So I am going to respond to this, submit a proposal. I'm gonna go to send a message. I'm gonna send it and I'm gonna send a direct message. Delete this, add my own direct message just like that. Send. Okay, so I did that. That's out of the way. I don't have her last name. I'm not gonna add her to the CRM. She's not a CTO, you know, like whatever. So if I wanna see review status, these are all the different, uh, statuses that I have from people that have left me Recommendations, see? Really, really cool. And I can post these recommendations on as a post as well. All right, so that's my LinkedIn services story. I wanted you to know about it. Not sure if you guys liked seeing that in action, me doing things in action in real time. But if you did enjoy it, say, loved the action, Joe, loved the action. Show us how you do more stuff. Let me go into my Sales Navigator now. And let's see if anybody has responded to any of the messages I've been sending. Okay, so right here, LinkedIn notified me that you posted recently. Would you be interested in— okay, I don't know what that's about. Definitely a trade-off. Yes. Okay, he talked to me about Lempod or something. Okay. All right, next, moving on. Let me just see if there's any unread. No unread. Okay, there's no unread Sales Navigator messages. That's cool. I'm gonna go into my messaging over here just to see what's going on. These are the people that I just messaged. Look at all these people that got a message from me. I'm thinking of starting a second community too. I don't really have a favorite. I joined a small number, probably helped me get clients so far. Interesting. Okay, just see what's going on over here. Okay, cool, fantastic. I'm going to go to inbox over here. It says I was live.

I may have missed it. Okay, I'm gonna make sure I support him right now. Instead of a quote here, I'm gonna give him a little poem. All right, just like that. All right, and then I'm going to, uh, let's see, see who else is cooking over here. See who else is cooking. David Watson. David Watson is into mindset, motivation, and success. He's from London, England. What is your goal with LinkedIn? I want to say, let me know. Okay, I'm going to go here. I see he posted 13 hours ago. I'm going to go here. I'm going to drop him a quote.

Okay, beautiful. You see that beautiful nice message? Just like that. I'm going to save his profile here. It looks like he's doing a lot of stuff over here. He reposted a week ago here. I'm just going to give him a little boom here. Okay, just like that. Give him a little support. I'm going to go to Dottie. This is Dottie's profile. Dottie's one of my clients. I see she posted 14 hours ago. I'm going to give her a like. I'm gonna drop a little quote here, just like that, with Winston Churchill. I see I got a message here. This is my son Ari. My son, I tried to call you. All right, let's see what else over here. Arnick Blatt. I'm gonna drop my quote, drop my comment just like that. All right, all right, so that's what I have going on. I do like checking out my company pages just to see what's going on on my company pages. So this is the Ajax Union company page. I'm gonna click on View as a Member, and this is our company page. Let's see what's going on. Most recent post. This is the most recent post from a day ago. I'm going to go ahead and give it a like. I'm going to drop a comment on the company page. If you're not doing this on your company pages, you are leaving money on the table. Highly recommend you go ahead and leave comments on your company pages. See, I left a comment on that one. I'm going to do evergreen. I'm going to do Evie AI slash Evie AI. And I'm going to view it as a member again because it's automatically going to redirect me. Oh, look at that, we have 2 inboxes. Thank you, really appreciate it. My pleasure. This guy said, hola, ¿cómo estás? All right, so messaging people as a company page as well. I'm going to go here, check out this, give it a like. I'm going to click on posts so I can see all the posts of the company page. So we have an event going on over here. Look at all the people coming to the event. I responded to all the people. I'm going to repost this, just repost it like that. You see that? I just reposted it as a post just like that. Okay, I'm gonna go down my network. I'm gonna check how many connections I have left. I can only accept an additional 30-something connections. You see, 37 connections left, and then I'm done. Can't do any more than that. Close Barbie, close Tom. Go back to here, see if I had any mentions recently. So these are— this is a section called Mentions where if somebody mentions you, then you want to check out what they're doing. So I'm gonna click on that and I'm gonna reply to her message just like that. Excited to have you on board. All right, let's see what this is all about. So over here it says, I have an idea to get more engagement. I created a row— I will create— I create a robot that emails you and a group of other people. So let's do that. Let's check this robot. So there's 68 people that are interested in this right now. 33, 29, 4. You see 23, 89, 4. So I'm going to open up this 4 here. 1, 2, 3, 4. These 4 people want a monthly, a monthly meeting. You see that? I'm going to go here. What day of the month works best for you for the monthly engagement group? Okay, so I'm going to go like that. I'm going to send it to him, then I'm going to send it to Brett Keller, Mid-Atlantic sales manager for Keller Associates. Interesting, interesting. Okay. And then Tariq also. And then Sam Migalski. See if I could send him a DM here. I can't send him a DM there. So what I'm gonna try to do is I'm gonna try to send it to him from there. You see, it didn't work from there. So I'm gonna click on votes. I'm gonna click on this and then I'm gonna click on, oh, the little thing is missing. You see that? How many connections does he have? 3,000 over here. He has never posted, so. That's okay. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to Sam Mogulicity. So this is what I do. I go in here, I go to the comments here, and I go @SamMogulicity. Here you go. All right, so now it's kind of like sending him a message. I'm tagging him and leaving a comment under the post, which also adds engagement to the comment if he replies. But this way I get his attention. I don't even have his email address or anything. The truth is I could pull it up over here and see if it comes up. No email, you see that? And then I can kind of use it here, but I'm not going to use that. I'm just going to, you know, he doesn't have a, he doesn't have a cover here. I don't know. I'm not excited. I'm not excited about this guy over here. No offense, but not excited. Okay, moving on. Okay, let's see what else is going on over here. Okay, so, so then really it's the weekly and the daily because over here there's basically 2 people, but over here we got 30 and 30 by 29 and 33, whatever. So what I'm going to need to do is I'm going to need to take all the people from here and all the people from here and add them to an automation. So what does the automation look like? The automation is just basically this thing. It runs every, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 8 AM. You see it's 8, 8:00 AM, 8:00 AM, just like that. Okay. So it runs. I'm going to press save. It runs at 8:00 AM. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to create another automation for the people that— so this is the daily pod automation. So I'm going to do AI automation. I'm going to press save. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to the scenarios and I'm gonna create a folder and I'm gonna call it LinkedIn Engagement. I'm gonna press save. I'm gonna take this and drop it in there, okay? So if I click on LinkedIn Engagement, we have one LinkedIn Engagement. Daily LinkedIn Automation Group. It's not really a pod, it's more of a group. Okay, so I'm going to go here. And so now I'm going to go here. I'm going to do create a new scenario. Actually, I'm going to duplicate this one here. Let's see, options, clone, clone daily LinkedIn AI automation group. Group, I'm going to call this group 1, group 1, group 1A. Okay, I'm gonna press save. So let's just click on scenarios, daily admission group 1A. I'm gonna grab it and drag it in here. Okay, so group 1, I have group 0, and then I have group 1A. I'm gonna click on this, I'm gonna click on this, and now let's see what happens. I'm gonna delete these people here because these are not the right people for this. Actually, yeah, AI automation. This one's going to go out. Let's see. So these are not even the right people for this. So I need to change this. So to, who is it going to? Add a recipient. It's going to go to me, joe@ajaxunion.com, because I want to get it. And then it's going to go to— let's find the people. I'm gonna go in here and it's gonna go to Anita, Jadranka, Jessica, Jerry, Jonathan, Kevin, Vinky, Carl, Magdalena, and Fayez. That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. So we have 10. So these are the 10 people that are gonna get that email. So what's her email? It says it right over here, you see that? I could also click on contact info and I can grab her email from here. In this case, I'm gonna use this email over here, why not? I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna paste it. See that? I'm gonna add a recipient. I'm gonna go to the next person, click on contact info, grab her email. Paste it. Then I'm gonna go to the next person. I am going to grab her email. Paste it. See? So you got 1, 2, 3. We're gonna add the other 7 real quick. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 7. So it'll be 11 total including me. Okay, let's see. Jerry. Jerry Rice. And then Jonathan Weissman. Jonathan Weissman. And then Kevin. Kevin Williams. And then Vinnie, Vinky, Vinky. Here's her thing, just like that. And I got 2 more to go. I got Carl Richards. I got 3 more to go. Carl Richards, Magdalena. Magdalena, I don't have her email over here. I'm gonna go here. Her email's no longer verified. That sucks. Let me see if she has her email over here. She doesn't have her email anywhere here. Let me see. Let's go down here. Let me try to grab her email. Click follow back. Let's see. You know what? I probably have her email. Oh, she she I think she filled this form out. I think she filled this form out. So let's go find the form. Magdalena engaged thought leaders community responses. Control F mag mag da. Magdalena. I don't think she did it. All right. Yeah, she didn't do it. All right, moving on. Next person. Let's see this person. I don't have his email either. This guy's an Upwork freelancer. Let's see if his email is anywhere to be found. I don't have his email either. Okay, so we'll just leave it at that for now. Oh, you know what? We'll try to get 2 more. So I couldn't get Magdalena and Freyas. I'll get Carlos Duarte and Bonita. Okay, these two people. All right, so we'll skip the other two for now because we couldn't find their email. So we'll add this one and Bonita. Her email's right here. Perfect. So now that we have our 10, what are we going to say? We're going to say AI Automation LinkedIn Pod. Nope, we're going to say, I'm going to say LinkedIn Engagement, engagement group 1A. Okay, thank you for being in our daily engagement group 1A. When you have a moment, can you please comment and like on these posts, members and posts? So now what I'm going to do is I have to get everybody's LinkedIn URLs in here. So that's relatively easy. All I got to do is copy their LinkedIn URL from right here and then paste it right here. See what I did there? Problem is, oh, I just lost all the content. I lost all the content that's there, but that's okay because I did not save it. But I am going to save it anyway because what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab it from the other one. So I still have the other automation where I cloned it. I'm going to hit save. I'm going to go back to the other automation. Click on LinkedIn engagements. I have the first one, so I still have all the details of this automation here. Settings, you see all the information's here, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Okay, I'm going to copy this, copy, and I'll drop it into a Google Docs. Engagement. I'm just going to grab one from here. Okay, these are the people that said they wanted it from the other group. This will be Group 1A. So I'll just add another sheet over here. I'll drop this in here so that I— this way I have the text. So this is the, that group from that community. Now I'm going to add these people here. So I'll just add them one at a time, just like that. We have Carlos, we have Bonita. I'm just going to grab the info from here. Actually, this has the overlay there. I'll just copy this information here. Now what I like to do is I like to save them and— oh, she's already saved. I click on See Recent Activities, and then I'm going to actually save her activities URL here. You see her activities URL right there? So instead of saving this URL, I'm going to delete this URL here. I'll grab his activities URL. Which is this one here. There's another way to do it. You go here and you can copy this URL right here. That's the second one. So we got her. You can close it out. I'll just grab her name, put it here just like that. So I got her name. Her LinkedIn URL, her email I popped in there already. I can close this. I'm gonna grab his name from here. Close this. And that's it. Once I set it, it's done. It's set forever. But there is a process of setting it up. Anita Biggins. I'm going to click on the Evvii logo here. I'm going to click on see recent activity. I'm going to put up our recent activity here. Well, do you see the URL here? It says /recent-activity/all. So that's really what I want there as the link, because when you click on this, it'll just show all her recent posts. That's the point. The point is you want all her recent posts to show. I'm gonna go here and drop a quote. If I already have it open, I might as well drop a comment, right? Doesn't cost anything extra. Actually, it does, but who cares? Okay, I'm gonna go here and close, close. Okay. Okay, now I'm going to grab this post over here. I'm going to save her profile. I'm actually going to click on see recent activity. Grab her name. Just like that. Beautiful. That's a nice piece of bread. I'll drop her a little quote there. All right, there we go. Done, done, and done. Jessica Loomis. Has she recently posted? Let's see. Yeah, she posted 11 hours ago. She's not really getting much traction on her posts. I'd love to support her. And she also needs to learn not to include a comment there. That's annoying. It's annoying that she does that. You need to learn what to do not to get screwed by the algorithm. Okay, moving on. We got Jerry. Jerry's birthday was April 12th. I'm gonna save Jerry's profile. Click on this, click on see recent activity, copy that URL, paste it in here, grab his name. Didn't pick up his name for some reason. Control C, control shift V, so it clears out the garbage there. Okay, perfect. This guy's birthday is August 15th coming up. Jonathan Weissman, 37,000 bit— 37,000 followers. That's awesome. Let's check his recent posts, see recent activity, see what he's been posting. See, I want to make sure that the people that I'm adding are actual people and they're actually posting. All right, let's see what he posted. He posted one day ago. Not bad. You got 26 likes. I like it. One comment. And look, and the guy that comments, his name is Appleman. John Appleman. That's cool. All right, so I saved his name. I'm just going to tighten up his name here because I don't need there to be an S. Okay, I close that. Now I do Kevin Williams. Kevin Williams is a client of mine. I see he posted recently. I'm going to copy this Post, paste it here. I'm going to grab his name. I'm going to click on his name, grab it like this, go back, leave a comment on this post that nobody commented on, pop his name in here, drop it in, hit post. Okay, I'm going to look at this person here. This person is— September 27th is birthday. Save the profile. Dropdown, see recent activity. Copy the recent activity link. Paste it. Go back, click on her face. Copy her name. Go back to the recent activity. Check if there's an opportunity to engage. Whoop, whoop. There we go. Check if there's an opportunity to engage here. Those are groups. I'm going to engage right here just like this. All right, so I just engaged. This guy looks familiar. I don't know why this guy looks familiar. Did he message me? He might have messaged me. Okay, I'm gonna press send. All right, and then Carl Richards. Carl Richards. Let's see, let's save his profile. See recent activity. Copy. Grab his name, paste it. All right. So let's see what we have so far. We have 10 people. Now that we have these 10 people and we're going to copy their names, we're going to go into the automation. We're going to go here and we're going to paste the automation. Nope, not here. We're going to go to the other one here, Group 1A. We're going to open it, right-click, settings, scroll down, grab the content, but we're going to grab the content from here. We're going to put it into the second one. Thank you for being member of the Daily LinkedIn Engagement Group. 1A. When you have a moment, comment on these accounts. I'm gonna go here and I'll paste these. I'm going to wrap. I'm going to go to here, Format, Wrapping. Okay, I'm actually going to turn this into HTML so it's clickable. I'm making a space right after it turns into HTML. Ctrl+K, apply. And then over here, Ctrl+K, remove. Why does that have a link on it? All right, there you go. Tightened it up. Now I'm going to copy this entire thing, Ctrl+C. I'm going to paste it in here, Ctrl+V. Okay, I'm going to press OK. I'm going to make it, um, at 8:45, 8:45 AM. What happened there? 8:45 AM. I'm gonna press save, then I'm gonna turn it on. I'm gonna make it run. Let's see what that looked like. There you go. Sent output message ID. That's it. Did it work? Save. Go connections, sent messages. LinkedIn engagement group. Boom. All right, probably went, it probably went there. I'm going to double-check it over here on the other page over here just to kind of see if it worked. Look at that, it worked. All right. I got it. This is what the email looks like. Thank you for being in the engagement group. When you have a moment, please comment and like. I'm gonna reply to this. Let me know if you got this. And I'm going to press send. All right, so that's— this is what the message looks like. If I wanna make it HTML, I can make it HTML. By actually moving things around and adding line breaks and all that other jazz. Right now, these people can just click on all this stuff. And then when you click on Bonita's profile like that, all her, all her posts just load just like that. You see, I'm able to drop a comment just like that. And stay top of mind. How cool is that? All right, I'm going to close that, get rid of this. And so now you see how that works. Now I got a bunch of more people that I got to add. You see that? Those are the people that I need to add. Hopefully you got value from this today. If you got value, just write value in the chat. And we're going to be doing some more of these LinkedIn Lives this year. The goal is to do 244. This was episode 79. Hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you on the next one.
