The dynamic placeholders can be found in the menu selection on the left. They offer further personalization of your LinkedIn messages. The information may be imported from a CSV file or typed in manually.
Uploading a CSV
When uploading a CSV file, the mandatory field is the “profile_link” (Regular LinkedIn) or “profile_link_sn” (Profile Link from Sales Navigator). All of the other fields will be considered as dynamic placeholders.
In the Search tab of the software, there is an example CSV file which serves as a template on how to import the different personalization fields.
If you are adding dynamic placeholders for people who are already in Expandi, the software will recognize this and add additional columns in the Placeholders menu.
For additional information on how to upload a CSV file can be found here.

Verifying the Message
After creating the messages, it is important to have an overview of the personal message. This can be done by following these steps.
