Step 1: Create a Google Sheets spreadsheet
The first step is to create a Google Sheet with the LinkedIn profiles that you want to save.
Bardeen will extract information from the Google Sheet using the LinkedIn links and Apollo.io. It will then use the information to enrich the sheet with contact information like social media links, location data, email addresses, phone numbers and more. Finally, it will create personalized sales outreach emails for each contact and update the spreadsheet with the information.
Step 2: Install the extension and choose your email bot
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Sheets. Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks.
Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to choose or specify your email bot. You can choose an existing bot that you created in the past or customize a new one from the dropdown. For the purpose of this tutorial, let’s choose to customize an email bot.
BardeenAI will begin customizing your email bot by gathering information about you using tools like Apollo.io.
It will then display all the pre-filled information it has found about you.
Review this information and make edits if necessary. This information will be used when constructing your sales outreach emails. Bardeen will ask you some follow up questions about your role in your organization.
After you have read, edited and approved all the information, your email bot is now ready. Bardeen will ask you to input an optional scheduling link to include in your emails.
Bardeen will also ask you for the column name that contains the LinkedIn profile links so that it can enrich your spreadsheet. For our example, this would be “LinkedIn URL”.
After you have set up your email bot, Bardeen will ask you to choose a Google Sheets spreadsheet to enter the enriched results and your personalized sales outreach emails.
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark your email bot, the scheduling link and your column name. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
