Why LinkedIn Events?

The beauty of this campaign type is that you can reach out to event attendees, whether they're connected to you or not. It's a game-changer for expanding your network and making meaningful connections.

🚨 Important Update as of January 2025
LinkedIn recently updated its messaging rules for Events:

  • Event organizers can privately message any attendee, even if they aren’t connected.

  • Event attendees can only message their 1st-degree connections.

But don’t worry! Meet Alfred is rolling out a hotfix to align with this change so your campaigns continue to run smoothly. Learn more about this update here.
​
To access this option, click the 'Create' button in your MeetAlfred account and select 'LinkedIn Event Campaign'.
​

How It Works

  1. Find Your Event: Start by searching for the LinkedIn event that piques your interest.
    ​

  2. Click the 'Attend' button.
    ​

  3. Grab the Event Link: Now, copy the URL or link to the event.
    ​

  4. Head back to your Meet Alfred account and paste the URL in the field on your screen.
    ​

  5. Adjust your preferences: Feel free to tweak the maximum number of leads you want to fetch in this campaign. It's all about making it work for you.
    ​

  6. Click 'Next'.
    ​

  7. Start building your campaign by adding different steps to the sequence.
    ​

    • Engage with Profiles: Visit profiles, like posts, and auto-follow leads to create connections.

    • Invite 1st-Degree Connections to attend an event: Automate sending invitations to your 1st-degree connections, inviting them to attend an event you're hosting or attending.

    • Message Attendees (for Event Organizers): If you're hosting the event, send direct messages to attendees outside your network to connect with new people.
      ​


    ​

    Note on Messaging Limitations - Due to LinkedIn’s latest update as of January 2025:

    • If you're an event organizer, you can message any attendee.

    • If you're attending an event, you can only message your 1st-degree connections.
      ​

  8. Your messages are fully customizable. Get creative with personalization values or use templates to save time and effort.

9. Set your delays: You can decide how long you'd like to wait before triggering the next step.
​

10. Give your campaign a name.
​

11. When you're ready to launch your campaign, click 'Publish.'
