Question 3

Troubleshooting CSV Import Issues

Accepted Answer

CSV imports are a powerful way to bring your own lead lists into Botdog, but they can sometimes be tricky. Here's an expanded guide to troubleshooting CSV import issues:

Check File Format
- Ensure your file is saved as a true .CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
- Some spreadsheet programs may save as .XLS, .XLSB or .XLSX by default. This formats also work with Botdog.
Verify Columns
- Your CSV must contain a column with LinkedIn profile URLs.
- Label this column clearly, e.g., 'LinkedIn URL' or 'Profile Link' so that you can find it easily.
- Other useful columns might include 'First Name', 'Last Name', 'Company', but the LinkedIn URL is essential and the only one required.
- Ensure your column headers are in the first row of the CSV.
LinkedIn URL Format
- Each LinkedIn URL should be complete and correct.
- Correct format: https://www.linkedin.com/in/username
- Remove any tracking parameters or unnecessary additions to the URL, they could lead to issues.
- Verify that each URL leads to an individual profile, not a company page or post (that's a frequent mistake)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ensure the LinkedIn URL column contains only URLs.
- Remove any additional text, notes, or formatting from this column
- If you have other information, place it in separate, appropriately labeled columns.
- Don't confuse company page URLs with personal profile URLs.

Why we designed it this way

We built Botdog to keep things simple and protect your campaign data. Preventing from adding/removing steps after a campaign is created seems to us the better choice, because it allows different things:

Analytics integrity: If you could add or remove steps mid-campaign, your performance metrics would get messy. For example, if you removed step 3 from a campaign that already sent 100 messages at that step, your stats would be all over the place, you wouldn't know who's at what stage, etc.
Cleaner user experience: In practice, we found that letting users edit sequences mid-flight created more confusion than it solved. You'd have some contacts at step 2, others at step 4, and suddenly adding a new step 3 would create chaos. If you add a new final step to the campaign. What about people who already completed the campaign, should they go through that step too? Even if they completed it months ago?
Data consistency: When you run a campaign, we track every action.

Question 6

Why are my invitations or messages not sending?

Accepted Answer

If your Botdog campaign isn't reaching as many people as you expected, several factors could be at play:

LinkedIn Connection Limits:

LinkedIn caps weekly invitations (typically around 50 for free accounts, 150-200 for premium).
You might have hit this limit across all your LinkedIn activities.

Import Errors:

Some LinkedIn URLs in your list may be incorrect or invalid.
Outdated or deactivated profiles can also cause issues.

Target Audience Availability:

Not all prospects are active on LinkedIn daily.
Some may have strict privacy settings, limiting visibility. Campaign Settings:

Your daily limits in Botdog might be set too low.

Check if you've unintentionally paused your campaign.

To Resolve These Issues:

Review Your Import List:

Double-check URLs for accuracy.
Remove any obviously invalid entries.

Adjust Daily Limits:
