Test one workflow first
Pick an audience you would contact this week and run it through OutreachGenie before moving anything else:

- Rebuild your best-performing LinkedIn sequence as a flow, without the email steps.
- Add a reply check before each follow-up. Stop follow-ups on reply.
- Keep existing opt-outs, and exclude anyone still in an active Expandi campaign.
If the email branch turns out to drive your replies, that is a good sign Expandi's multichannel setup is worth the cost for you.
Does a dedicated IP make automation safe?
No. LinkedIn says third-party software that scrapes or automates activity on its website is prohibited, and accounts may be restricted. An IP address, a cloud runner or a browser companion changes how the work is delivered, not whether LinkedIn allows it. LinkedIn's policy.
Read the limits and working-hours guide, and stop if LinkedIn shows a warning or restriction.
