Reply.io and lemlist add LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp to email, each with a contact database of its own. Saleshandy, Woodpecker and Salesforge pair email with LinkedIn, and Apollo.io sells B2B data with email and calls. GetSales runs the LinkedIn and email steps in one flow from your own accounts and puts the replies from both in one inbox, where the AI SDR drafts each answer, sent on its own or held for your OK as each scenario sets. It has no phone finder and no dialer. Each line is from the vendor's own site, read on 27 October 2026.

Through other tools. Its Outreach page lists email, LinkedIn and webhook sequences, and its help center shows how: the campaign editor builds email steps, and LinkedIn comes in through its Automation Builder, where an action hands a lead to a campaign in Aimfox, Expandi, HeyReach or Valley or to an audience in La Growth Machine, or sends a LinkedIn message through Aimfox or La Growth Machine. A lead needs a LinkedIn URL to reach Aimfox, HeyReach or Valley. Its CRM handles LinkedIn connections beside emails, calls, texts and tasks.

Yes, by setting the outreach up again in GetSales: there is no Instantly integration, and campaigns are not copied over. Download your leads from Instantly as a CSV and bring the file into a table.

Connect your LinkedIn account and your mailboxes, on Google, Microsoft or IMAP and SMTP, as a sender profile, then build the workflow, or let Creator build it from one sentence.
