Step by step
Get started in five steps
- Create your account at app.heyleads.so. You can sign up with Google or with email and a password.
- Connect a LinkedIn account. See Connect LinkedIn below.
- Add leads. Import a list, or collect people who reacted to or commented on a LinkedIn post.
- Build a campaign. Type one sentence about who you want to reach and HeyLeads drafts the whole sequence, or start from a template.
- Review and launch. Nothing is sent until you press Launch. You can change any step first.
LinkedIn
Connect your LinkedIn account
HeyLeads works through your own LinkedIn account, the one you already use. Connecting is guided inside the app, with the HeyLeads Chrome extension doing the sign-in for you.
- You can connect more than one LinkedIn account and run campaigns from each.
- If LinkedIn signs you out, HeyLeads shows that account as needing attention. Reconnect it and campaigns carry on where they stopped.
- You stay in control: pause an account or a campaign at any time.
Campaigns
Build and run a campaign
Choose how to begin when you press New campaign:
- Describe it. Say who you want to reach and what you want from them. HeyLeads writes the steps, the messages and the branches for replies.
- Start from a template. Pick a proven sequence and edit it.
- Blank canvas. Draw every step yourself in the visual builder.
In the builder you can visit a profile, like a post, follow, send a connection request, send a message, wait, split into an A/B test, and branch on what a reply means. Use Preview to see what a lead will receive, and Launch when you're happy.
Inbox
Work your replies
Every reply from every connected account lands in one inbox. HeyLeads sorts each reply, for example interested, not now, or asking to stop, so you can start with the people most likely to buy.
- Suggest reply writes three draft answers in a human voice. They are drafts only: you pick one, edit it, and send it yourself.
- If someone asks to stop being contacted, HeyLeads marks them do not contact and no campaign messages them again.
- An out-of-office reply doesn't count as an answer. The lead waits until they're back.
Team
Invite your team
Open your workspace settings and invite teammates by email or with an invite link. Each person gets a role, so you decide who can launch campaigns and who can only look. Invites show as pending until they're accepted, and you can resend or cancel them.
Staying safe
Protect your LinkedIn account
- HeyLeads spaces actions out and keeps to daily limits for each account, so activity looks like a person's, not a burst.
- Start small with a new or quiet account and let volume build over a few weeks.
- Write messages you'd be happy to receive. Short and specific beats long and generic.
- Automation on LinkedIn is restricted by LinkedIn's own rules. See the Terms for what that means for you.
FAQ
Common questions

Yes. Pause or stop a campaign, or pause a single LinkedIn account, whenever you like.
Does HeyLeads write my messages with AI?
Yes, when you ask it to: Describe it, rewriting a message, and Suggest reply. You see and approve the text before it goes anywhere.
What happens to someone who asks me to stop?
They're marked do not contact across all your campaigns, permanently.
