# Follow a LinkedIn profile and reach its new post engagers

Set up one play for a LinkedIn profile. PumpGTM checks its latest posts and adds new reactors and commenters to your outreach sequence.

You can now set up a LinkedIn engagers play around a profile . Choose your own profile or someone else’s, write your message, and keep new engagers entering the same sequence as they publish.

The existing single-post option stays available. Profile following saves you from copying another post link each time.

## Set the profile once

Open LinkedIn engagers in Plays and choose Follow a profile’s latest posts . Paste a personal LinkedIn profile URL, then write the message you want people to receive after connecting.

Choose copy that makes sense across that person’s posts. If you’re following someone else, keep your message clear about whose content the person engaged with.

Review the play before starting it. That starts recurring collection and authorizes new engagers to enter its sequence automatically.

## New engagement feeds the same sequence

PumpGTM checks the profile every six hours. It reads reactions and comments from the latest 10 posts published in the past 30 days, including new engagement on posts it has checked before.

Each collection reads up to 500 reactions and 500 comments per post and adds up to 500 new people. People already in your workspace’s leads are skipped. Someone who comments on two posts enters once.

Collection depends on what LinkedIn makes available, so the play doesn’t promise to retrieve every person on a high-volume post.

## Connections come before messages

A person you’re already connected with can receive your message. Someone new gets a connection request first, with the message waiting until they accept.

The sequence follows the same account limits as your other LinkedIn outreach. Replies arrive in your Inbox and stop further automated outreach to that person.

## You choose when following starts and stops

Profile following is an explicit option in the engagers play. Your existing single-post plays and competitor searches keep their current behavior.

Pause the play to stop collecting new people. Pause its sequence to stop outreach to people already queued.
