Beyond messages, LinkedIn feeds three things in Lumenbase: posts from the contacts a Routine works on, your LinkedIn network in My Connections, and the people you added in Added Profiles. All three come from the browser extension.

Before you begin

  • The extension is installed and connected. See Integrating with LinkedIn.
  • LinkedIn Sync is included in your workspace plan.
  • For monitoring: a Routine attached to the lists you want to watch.

Turn on activity monitoring for a Routine

1

Open the Routine

Go to ListsRoutines and open the Routine used by the lists you want to watch.

2

Open the Configuration tab

The Settings panel sits beside the instructions.

3

Switch on Activity monitoring

It is under LinkedIn. The extension then checks contacts on the Routine's lists for new posts, articles and shares, while you are on LinkedIn.

  • 1
    Activity monitoring: the extension checks LinkedIn for new posts, articles and shares from contacts on this Routine’s lists.
  • 2
    Contacts monitored: all monitored contacts across every Routine, against the 200 that run at full speed.
  • 3
    Keep posts fresh: how often to capture members’ latest posts again. Off captures once, on connect.
Monitoring works best with up to 200 contacts across all Routines. Past that, each contact is checked less often. A single list over 200 shows Large monitored list on the list page.
Fetch recent posts on connect captures a new connection's last few posts once, so Lumo can write the first message around what they posted.

Read and answer monitored posts

  • On the list: open the list and click the LinkedIn Activities tab.
  • On a record: open the contact or company and pick the LinkedIn timeline filter.

We just moved our reporting to a single warehouse. Happy to share what we learned.

Add a comment...
A list with a Routine. LinkedIn Activities shows when the extension is in this browser.
  • 1
    LinkedIn Activities: recent posts from everyone on the list, newest first.
  • 2
    Add a comment...: write a reply, or Draft with Lumo. Post reply publishes it on LinkedIn through the extension.

To answer a post, click Add a comment... on its card. Write your reply, or click Draft with Lumo, then Post reply. The comment is posted on LinkedIn from your browser, so the extension must be connected.

Captures run only while you browse LinkedIn. A contact needs a LinkedIn connection before capture can reach them.

Browse your network in My Connections

My Connections lists everyone in your LinkedIn network that the extension has indexed, with the date you connected. It is not in the sidebar. Open /directory/private-connections in the app.

  • Search by name, company, headline or location.
  • Not linked in the CRM Contact column opens a new contact form, filled from the profile.
  • Never synchronize to Lumenbase, in the row menu, stops one person syncing. Their contact stays.
When LinkedIn sync is off, the page says so and stops updating. Switch it back on in SettingsPersonalMy integrationsLinkedIn.

Manage people in Added Profiles

Added Profiles lists people you added from LinkedIn who are not in your network. Open it from SettingsPersonalMy integrationsLinkedInAdvancedView Added Profiles.

  • Select rows and click Remove to delete them from the CRM and the extension.
  • Clear all added profiles, in the same Advanced section, resets the whole list. Your cached connections are kept.
