/v1/actions/salesnavigator-connect-profile/run/liveConnect Sales Navigator Profile sends a connection request to a lead directly from a Sales Navigator profile URL, with or without a personalized note. It runs on the Sales Navigator level against the account you connect to Edges, so the invitation is issued from your authenticated Sales Navigator session and counts against your own account's activity.
Use it to turn connection sending into a scripted step inside an outbound workflow that originates from a Sales Navigator search, saved list, or lead list.
You provide the Sales Navigator lead URL (or the underlying member ID) and an optional note; Edges resolves the Sales Navigator identifier to a connectable LinkedIn profile and submits the invite through your authenticated session. The action is synchronous and surfaces typed errors when LinkedIn or Sales Navigator refuses — already connected, out of network, or temporarily rate-limited.
Edges handles pacing server-side to stay within LinkedIn's weekly invitation guardrails, which is especially important when firing Connect Sales Navigator Profile across a prospecting list of hundreds of leads.
Reach for this action when your prospecting universe lives in Sales Navigator — saved searches, account lists, lead lists — and you want to convert searches into first-degree relationships without copy-pasting URLs. It is the Sales Navigator counterpart to Connect LinkedIn Profile and plays the same role inside the LinkedIn messaging & outreach API use case.
Use it after a Sales Navigator search and before a messaging or InMail step.
One per call. Fan out Connect Sales Navigator Profile across your list with sensible spacing — Edges paces server-side, but LinkedIn's weekly per-account invitation ceiling still applies regardless of Sales Navigator seat.
Your Sales Navigator account. Every invitation runs through the Sales Navigator session you connect to Edges; there is no shared pool, and invitations show up in your own Sent Invitations list.
Yes. Common sequences include Search Sales Navigator People to build the list, Connect Sales Navigator Profile to send invites, and Send Sales Navigator InMail as a fallback for leads who do not accept.
Run Connect Sales Navigator Profile from the Edges library, wire it into your prospecting engine, or call it directly from the Edges API. Browse the full Actions library to compose it with search, enrichment, and messaging actions into a complete Sales Navigator outreach workflow.
