Key takeaways
- LinkedIn is the only Socialbox channel with all four sections: Chats, Network, Posts and Search.
- Socialbox spaces messages out and guards search and profile-view limits to keep your account safe.
- You can post as yourself or as a company page, with visibility and comment controls.
- The assistants and the campaign builder write LinkedIn copy but never send it; there is no LinkedIn automation.
Why is LinkedIn the fullest channel in Socialbox
LinkedIn is the fullest channel because it is the only one with Chats, Network, Posts and Search all switched on. Instagram adds profile, requests, followers and following, and posts; WhatsApp and Telegram are chats only.
For a seller, that means the whole social selling loop on LinkedIn, from finding a person to connecting, posting and replying, happens in one Socialbox view, while the other channels stay conversation inboxes.
How do you manage LinkedIn connection requests
You manage LinkedIn connection requests in the Network section, which lists requests received and sent beside your followers, following and connections. From there you accept, decline or withdraw, follow or unfollow, invite someone with an optional note, or open a message.
A weekly pass keeps the network useful rather than large:
- Accept requests from people in your target accounts first, and reply with a short message while the request is fresh.
- Withdraw sent invitations that have waited for weeks; a stale pending list helps nobody.
- Add a note to every invitation that names the shared context, such as an event or a mutual topic.
How do LinkedIn people search filters work in Socialbox
Socialbox Search finds people, companies, jobs and posts, with filters, and can open a profile or page from its URL. It is LinkedIn's own search through your account, not Sales Navigator, and search and profile-view limits are guarded so heavy use does not put the account at risk.
Use it for the targeted look-up, not for bulk list building. Finding the new head of operations at an account you already know suits it well; for a fresh list of contacts at up to ten named companies, Find fresh leads in the Pebbles Ai CRM is the better route.
Can you post as a LinkedIn company page from Socialbox
Yes, Socialbox Posts lets you create a LinkedIn post as yourself or as a company page you manage, with visibility and comment controls. You can edit or delete it later and see its comments and reactions.
There are no stories, and Socialbox does not schedule posts or report analytics. If your workspace needs scheduled posts and performance reports, an admin can connect a social publishing account, and the assistant handles those for the accounts connected there.
Where do the assistants fit in LinkedIn work
The assistants fit before the send: they research the person and write the message, and you send it yourself in Socialbox. Ask the Marketing assistant for a connection note or a reply in chat, then paste it into the LinkedIn conversation.
The campaign builder also writes LinkedIn touches as content for multi-touch campaigns. Nothing in Pebbles Ai sends LinkedIn messages for you, and Socialbox has no Write with AI panel of its own.
How to set up LinkedIn in Socialbox
Connect once, then build the weekly habit around the four sections.
- Open Settings, go to Social accounts and connect LinkedIn through the hosted sign-in managed by Pebbles Ai.
- Open Socialbox and check that your LinkedIn chats appear under Chats, Inbox.
- Go to Network and clear received requests, withdrawing sent invitations that have gone stale.
- Use Search with filters to find the people you need at accounts you already target.
- Write a post in Posts as yourself or a company page and set its visibility and comment controls before publishing.
