In simple English
This tool automates cold outreach on LinkedIn and through email. You set up campaigns that send connection requests, messages, and follow-up emails in order. It runs on your own server, so your prospect data stays private. There are no monthly fees per user seat, unlike commercial sales tools. You need a server to run it and a Sales Navigator account to get the most out of it.
What it is
Linki is a self-hosted B2B outreach and sales automation platform built with TypeScript. It combines LinkedIn automation, cold email sequencing, data enrichment, and a unified inbox into a single self-hosted package.
