Tutorial: Calculation Placeholders
Calculation placeholders allow you to dynamically adjust the number of your daily activities like messages, networking requests, or profile visits, without having to intervene manually.
Basics of Calculation Placeholders
Calculation placeholders work with various variables to calculate the required number of actions:
- xxxToday: Number today (since 0:00)
- xxxYesterday: Number yesterday (0:00 to 23:59)
- xxxLastTime: The highest number of the last three days until yesterday 23:59
xxx always represents the respective function
Gradual Increase in Networking
To avoid daily manual adjustments, calculation placeholders can be used. For example, you could start with 8 networking requests per day and gradually increase the number each day. By using calculation placeholders like “InvitesLastTime + 4”, CompLeadly automatically increases the number of networkings per day by 4.
Setting Minimum and Maximum Values
It is important to set minimum and maximum values to keep the activities within sensible and safe limits. For example, you could set a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 40 networking requests to comply with LinkedIn guidelines and ensure effective networking.
Adjustment and Error Checking
When inserting calculation placeholders into your sequences, it is important to pay attention to the correct spelling. CompLeadly gives you direct feedback on whether the placeholder is valid. This ensures that your automation is functioning correctly.
