List campaigns in Aimfox allow you to send connection notes and direct messages to LinkedIn profiles. To set up a campaign, you need to upload a CSV file with a list of target profiles. The file can also contain other data, which can be used as variables in your campaign messaging.

Formatting Your CSV File

Your CSV file can contain any number of columns, but it must meet the following criteria:

  1. Header Row: The first row should contain column names and must not be left empty.

  2. Identifier Column: One column must contain LinkedIn profile URLs, which will serve as the unique identifier. You must select this column when uploading the file.

  3. Additional Columns: Other columns can contain any text values that will be used as custom variables in the campaign messages.

  4. The header row and the first row must not have any missing values.

Example CSV Structure

A typical CSV file might include the following columns:

linkedin_url

connection_note

followup_message

Hi John, let’s connect!

Looking forward to speaking with you.

Hello Jane, I’d love to connect!

Let’s schedule a time to chat.

  • linkedin_url: This column contains LinkedIn profile URLs for your campaign targets, and should be selected as the unique identifier.

  • connection_note: A personalized message to be sent with the connection request.

  • followup_message: A follow-up message to be sent after the connection request is accepted.

Uploading Your CSV File

  1. Navigate to the List Campaigns section in Aimfox.

  2. Click on Upload CSV and select your file.

  3. Choose the Identifier Column (the column containing LinkedIn profile URLs).

  4. Once uploaded, you can insert data from other columns into your campaign messages using variable placeholders.

  5. Review the imported data and start your campaign.

By following these steps and formatting your CSV correctly, you ensure a smooth campaign setup and efficient messaging to your LinkedIn prospects.

Complete CSV File Requirements and Limitations

  • The CSV file must contain at least one column with LinkedIn profile URLs.

  • The file must have a title row

  • The first two rows must be valid, meaning that each column must have a value. This includes the title row and the first data row.

  • Other rows may have missing values, but only complete rows will be usable in the campaign.

  • The file can have a maximum of 10.000 rows

  • The maximum allowed file size is 50MB
