This article is designed for those who want to send a LinkedIn voicemail as part of their outreach workflow.
A LinkedIn voicemail is an audio message you record and send inside the LinkedIn mobile app.
What you can do with Manual Tasks
A Manual Task in Interceptly lets you complete an action that must be done by a human, such as sending a LinkedIn voicemail.
When you add a Manual Task to a sequence, Interceptly reminds you at the right time so you never miss the step.
Why use a LinkedIn voicemail?
Sending a voicemail gives you a fast, personal way to stand out.
Prospects rarely receive audio messages on LinkedIn, so this step helps you:
Humanise your outreach
Build trust quickly
Add tone and personality that text cannot convey
Increase replies before the automated follow-up continues
How to Send a LinkedIn Voicemail Using a Manual Task
Step 1: Add a Manual Task to Your Sequence
When you want to send a LinkedIn voicemail shortly after a prospect accepts your connection request, you can add a Manual Task inside your sequence.
Open your Interceptly sequence editor.
Add a Manual Task step after your connection request step.
Name the task clearly. For example: Send LinkedIn Voicemail.
Save your sequence.
Adding the task ensures Interceptly reminds you at the correct time.
You will see the reminder on your Tasks dashboard and on each prospect’s profile in Interceptly.
Step 2: Use Your Phone to Send the Voicemail
LinkedIn voicemails can only be recorded and sent from the LinkedIn mobile app.
To send the voicemail when the Manual Task appears:
Open the LinkedIn mobile app on your phone.
Go to the message thread with the new connection.
Select the microphone icon to start recording.
Record a short, friendly audio message.
Keep it under 60 seconds.
Mention something relevant to the prospect.
Keep your tone natural and relaxed.
Select Send inside the LinkedIn app.
Your voicemail is now delivered to the prospect!
Step 3: Mark the Task as Complete
After you send the voicemail, return to Interceptly to complete the task:
Open your Tasks dashboard or the prospect’s profile inside Interceptly.
Locate the Manual Task titled Send LinkedIn Voicemail.
Select Mark as Complete.
Once you complete the Manual Task, Interceptly automatically continues the sequence.
If the prospect replies at any point, Interceptly pauses the remaining automation so you can handle the conversation manually.
Why This Workflow Works Well
Using a LinkedIn voicemail as part of your Interceptly sequence gives you the perfect blend of:
Human touch - a warm, personal message
Consistent automation - Interceptly continues outreach for you once the manual step is complete
Better timing - Manual Tasks ensure you send the voicemail exactly when the prospect is most engaged
This approach helps improve acceptance rates, reply rates, and meeting conversions.
