Where Outember differs from Linked Helper.
- 01
Nothing to install, nothing to keep on
Accounts connect through a secure hosted login and campaigns run on our servers in each account's working hours, so they keep going with your laptop closed. No VPS to rent or maintain.
- 02
Cold email in the same sequence
Email steps send from your own Google, Microsoft or SMTP/IMAP mailboxes, with branching conditions (has an email? connected? replied?) deciding who gets what.
- 03
AI included
Notes and messages written from each profile and recent posts, an approve-before-send queue, and every reply classified with a suggested answer, in every plan.
Moving from Linked Helper in an afternoon.
Five steps, and nobody hears from you twice.
Step 1: Pause the old campaigns
Never run two automation tools on the same LinkedIn account at once. Pause your campaigns in Linked Helper first.
Step 2: Export your leads
If Linked Helper lets you export your lists, a CSV with names and LinkedIn profile URLs is all you need. No export? A LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search link rebuilds the list.
Step 3: Import the CSV
Columns are matched automatically, duplicates are merged, and any extra column becomes a {{variable}} you can use in messages.
Step 4: Bring your do-not-contact list
Upload the people, emails, domains and companies you never want to contact. Every campaign checks the list before each action.
Step 5: Connect and relaunch
Connect your accounts on the Safe preset (your LinkedIn conversations are imported into the inbox), rebuild the sequence from a template, and launch.
