How to Configure Working Hours and Time Zone for Your LinkedIn Automation?

Setting precise working hours and the correct time zone for your LinkedIn automation ensures your outreach aligns with your prospects’ active hours and maintains a safe, human-like pattern of activity. Here’s a step-by-step guide to configuring these settings in Outboundry for optimal performance and account safety.

Why Setting Working Hours and Time Zone Matters

• Delivers messages when leads are most likely to respond

• Prevents actions outside business hours, reducing the risk of LinkedIn restrictions

• Spreads activity evenly to mimic natural behavior

• Ensures compliance with LinkedIn’s daily/weekly action limits

6. Configure Working Hours

• Select the days of the week when you want LinkedIn actions to run (e.g., Monday-Friday for B2B, or include weekends for broader outreach).

• For each selected day, specify the start and end time to define your active outreach window (e.g., 9:00 am–6:00 pm).

Best Practices

• Align with prospect availability: For B2B audiences, Monday–Friday during business hours is typically most effective.

• Avoid excessive activity: Spreading actions throughout the week can help stay within LinkedIn’s limits.

• Adjust for international campaigns: Match time zone settings to the location of your primary audience for better engagement.

• Monitor and tweak: If you notice delayed or low response rates, adjust working hours or time zone as needed.
