A List Campaign lets you automate your outreach on a pre-defined list of targets that you manually upload to Aimfox.
Unlike other campaign types which rely on LinkedIn's search functionality, List Campaigns enable you to select a fully custom audience, without any restrictions. This is the perfect campaign for experienced marketers or sales teams.
How to create a List Campaign
Step 1: Select the campaign type and settings 🤖
Go to your Campaigns page and click the "New Campaign" button to open the campaign builder popup. Select List campaign.
Configure Settings:
After you've selected the campaign type you want, you will need to configure up the main settings for this campaigns. Like with other campaign types, you need to configure your Primary action, InMail optimization and the number of Targets you want to engage with.
Campaign settings breakdown:
🔗 LinkedIn Connect: Decide if you want to send a Connection Request to your targets (recommended). If this is set to OFF, you will be able to create an InMail Only campaign, but will not engage all of your targets, only those with open profiles.
📧 InMail Optimization: Optimize your campaign by sending Free InMails to open profiles. This feature lets you overcome LinkedIn's weekly connection invite limit, and it never uses paid InMails (recommended).
🎯 Targets: Specify the maximum number of targets for your campaign. Aimfox supports up to 1,000 targets per campaign.
Once you are satisfied, click "Create campaign" to create a draft version of your campaign and move to the next step.
Step 2: Select for your Audience 🔍
When creating a List campaign, you have the freedom to provide a fully custom list of LinkedIn accounts to serve as your campaign audience.
You can either upload a .CSV file with a list of LinkedIn profile URLs, or paste the list directly into the Aimfox interface.
Important notes: 👀
List campaigns are limited to 1000 targets. Any targets over 1000 will not be included in the campaign.
List campaigns only accept LinkedIn URLs, you cannot provide any other information like First or Last Names. Aimfox automatically gathers this data from the target's LinkedIn accounts. This ensures that the data is up-to-date and accurate.
File Formatting:
Your .CSV file does not need to include any sort of header, all it requires is a list of LinkedIn URLs, separated by commas. Example below.
.CSV File format example:

Paste Formatting:
Alternatively, you can also paste the URLs directly into the interface. Example formatting for pasting URLS:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/garyvaynerchuk/
Once you have provided the URLs, Aimfox will validate the links and ensure that everything is in order. Any incorrect URLs will be highlighted in red.
Once you are satisfied with your audience, move on to the next step.
Step 3: Set your campaign Flow 💬
Your campaign Flow decides what types of actions Aimfox will perform in this campaign.
Free InMails can be sent regardless of which primary action is selected. Make sure to use InMails whenever possible to make the most of your weekly action limit on LinkedIn.
Connection Request Flow
A connection request is the most common way of growing your LinkedIn network. With this flow, Aimfox will send a connection request to your campaign targets with an optional Note of up to 200 characters.
Free LinkedIn accounts can only send 5 Connection Notes per month, so including a Note in your Campaign is only available for users with a LinkedIn Premium subscription.
Follow-up messages
Your connection request can be followed up with a sequence of direct messages so you can immediately engage your new Leads and start a conversation.
This message sequence triggers when Aimfox detects that a user has accepted your connection request. You can delay every message, even the first one, allowing full customization.
Your sequence can include as many messages as you want, but we advise using no more than 2-3 to avoid spammy behavior.
All sequences stop as soon as you receive any response from that LinkedIn user.
This is done to prevent sending messages out of context.
Step 3.5: Additional Campaign Features
These extra steps improve campaign performance or allow you to gather more data. They are available on all campaign types.
AI Enhance
Our AI Enhance feature allows you to enrich your Notes, Message Requests, and Follow-Up Messages with AI to add some variety to your campaigns. AI Enhance will help you do the following:
Make your templates more professional

Don’t forget to preview your messages and see how AI and Translate will perform for your campaign. 👀
Auto Translate
Auto-Translate lets you target users globally with each campaign. Aimfox can detect the target’s preferred LinkedIn account language and automatically translate your campaign for maximum effectiveness. Messages can only be translated from English to other languages.
Split testing your Flows
If you're unsure which approach would work best for your audience, Aimfox allows you to create two separate Flows and test which one of them would work better.
After your campaign is created, you will be able to monitor which Flow is producing better results, and you can use that information to improve other campaigns.
Free InMails
You can optimize your campaign by using Free InMails. These InMails can be sent free of charge to Premium LinkedIn users with open profiles. This lets you save your weekly connection or message requests by replacing some of them with InMails. This step will never use your paid InMails, and as with previous steps, AI optimization and Translation are available.
Step 4: Campaign scheduling
In this campaign setup phase, users can specify the days and times when their campaign will be active. Moreover, users can send messages within a designated timezone or schedule them to be sent within the specified timeframe in the recipient's timezone by selecting the “Target’s Timezone” option.
Step 5: Finalize your campaign
Once you've completed all the steps and configured everything, you'll be presented with a preview screen where you can review all the details of the campaign you've created before launching it.
When you're satisfied with everything, simply start the campaign, and you'll be all set to go!
You can start the campaign immediately or save it as a draft to launch later.
