LinkedIn in Claude: connectors and routines for outreach

Claude can do more than answer questions. With a connector, it can act on your behalf in the tools you already use. Flow AI gives Claude a LinkedIn connector, so you can run your whole LinkedIn outreach by asking for it. Here is what a connector is, how to set it up, and the routines worth saving.

What a Claude connector is

In Claude, a connector is a secure link to an outside tool, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once a connector is added, Claude can read and act on that tool for you, not just talk about it.

Flow AI's LinkedIn connector gives Claude safe access to your LinkedIn activity. With it, Claude can find buyers, send connection requests, draft replies and sync everything to your CRM, all through plain prompts. The connector handles the work, and Flow AI keeps it within safe, human-like limits.

How to connect LinkedIn to Claude

You add the connector once, then it is available in every chat.

1. Create your Flow AI account and connect your LinkedIn.
2. In Claude, open Connectors and add the Flow AI LinkedIn connector.
3. Approve the permissions. Flow AI uses standard OAuth, so your password is never shared.
4. Start a chat and ask Claude to do something on LinkedIn. It works in Claude Desktop and on the web.

5 LinkedIn routines to run in Claude

A routine is just a prompt you reuse. Save the ones that work and run them on a schedule that suits you.

1. Morning prospecting. "Find 20 heads of sales at UK SaaS companies with 50 to 200 staff, and send each a personalised connection request." Claude builds the list and queues the requests within your daily limit.
2. Reply triage. "Show me every new LinkedIn reply, group them by interested, not now and not a fit, and draft a response to the interested ones." You approve, Claude sends.
3. CRM sync. "Add everyone who replied this week to HubSpot, with their role, company and the last message." No copy and paste.
4. Follow-up sweep. "List people who accepted my request but never replied, and draft a short, friendly follow-up for each." Re-engage without the manual chase.
5. Pipeline check. "Summarise this week on LinkedIn: requests sent, acceptance rate, replies and meetings booked." A standup-ready summary in seconds.

Each routine is a prompt against the same connector. The more specific the prompt, the better the result.

Keeping it safe

Letting an AI tool act on your LinkedIn only works if it stays within safe bounds. That is the whole point of running it through Flow AI rather than a raw script.

• Every action runs at a human-like pace, within daily limits you set.
• Requests and messages send at natural times, not in one burst.
• You approve anything that goes out, so nothing happens behind your back.

Set up the connector once, save a few routines, and your morning LinkedIn work becomes a short conversation with Claude. To see the connector in detail, visit the LinkedIn MCP page.
