Waalaxy’s key features
Automated multichannel prospecting
Multiplying the number of touchpoints with a prospect is essential to move them along your sales funnel. By creating a new campaign in Waalaxy, you get more out of your efforts by raising the number of touchpoints with your prospects, while making a notoriously time-consuming process easier.
For now the extension focuses on LinkedIn, Twitter and email, but other channels should be available soon.
Once the extension is added to your Chrome browser, head to a LinkedIn search page. You can then create a list or upload a CSV file that already holds your LinkedIn prospect URLs.
Once your prospect list is ready, you can pick your template (you will soon be able to build your own template/sequence).
Templates are organised into sequences of actions. These are conditioned on your prospect’s behaviour: you can follow up if there is no reply after a certain stretch of time, for instance. Your template therefore plays an important part in your campaign, your tactics and your goals.
Next you have to select prospects from the imported list. You can also import new people into your list automatically. That lets you bring in your connections, the people who commented on your posts and the people who visited your profile.
Then you have to personalise and prepare your sequences: that covers your emails, LinkedIn messages and notes. It is a crucial step, because writing a quality message is what sets you apart from spam.
Once everything is ready, check your work over one last time. Then you can launch your campaign! Waalaxy takes care of the rest. Worth noting: your leads drop out of your campaign as soon as they reply to your LinkedIn message or email.
Contact management
Waalaxy imports your prospects as a list. Those prospects then flow into Waalaxy’s built-in CRM, so there is no need for a third-party tool.
We particularly like being able to configure and customise the data, and the interface is practical and easy on the eye. If you are after a fuller CRM, do take a look at our comparison!
Reporting
The “Home” tab gives you a rather nice control panel. Clean and, again, good-looking, we also found it fairly thorough. You can follow how your campaigns are going (visits, connection requests, messages or emails). You also get an acceptance and reply rate (right-hand columns).
The data can also be sorted however you like: prospect’s country / language, target company, target job, acquisition channel, given time period, tag and so on.
The Salesdorado takeWaalaxy strikes a genuinely interesting balance between power & simplicity. We are (very) far from the market’s multichannel prospecting behemoths, which keep pseudo growth-hackers hunting for the perfect sequence busier ( 😂 ) than they do actual sales reps. Yet the tool still lets you set up fairly powerful sequences on the two favourite prospecting channels: LinkedIn and email. Do have a look at their public roadmap to keep up with the team’s latest updates and progress.
Is Waalaxy easy to use?
Waalaxy gives us a simple but effective interface, so the tool is easy to use, even for beginners. Careful though, simple doesn’t mean thin. You get plenty of features and configuration options to hit your goals as squarely as possible.
Do study the multichannel scenario templates closely, they are easy to use and will suit newcomers well.
If you need help, take a look at their YouTube channel. It offers several explainer videos (in English). You can also reach the team through the chat support, they will sort you out quickly.
The Salesdorado takeThis extension is proof that minimalism and effectiveness can go together. We like the clean, optimised and good-looking design.
Waalaxy, the only tool that gets around LinkedIn’s cap
Since April / May 2021 LinkedIn has capped connection requests at 100 a week, to keep spam and automation tools in check. That gets restrictive fast, because LinkedIn spares no one: bots and “normal” users alike are affected.
LinkedIn prospecting is far from finished, though. The platform lets you contact your prospects by email without it counting towards the maximum quota of 100 people a month, and that is where Waalaxy comes in.
The extension automatically pulls the prospect’s email and can still send a LinkedIn connection request, without the weekly restrictions coming into play. That technique therefore lets you reach between 500 and 700 new prospects a week.
The Salesdorado takeHere we are on the edge. You have to grasp that this is a powerful promise, but in practice the feature is fairly unstable, and you are probably better off targeting your 100 invitations a week more sharply than sending 500 at any cost. Waalaxy is also building a way to message the members of a group or an event directly, which would push past the 500 weekly invitations.
Waalaxy’s integrations
Waalaxy works with many channels, which is an advantage: the more you use, the higher the conversion rate. So it is only natural that the extension offers plenty of native integrations. Through Zapier, you can also connect Waalaxy to a host of tools to update your CRM software automatically, export your leads or send notifications to Slack.
You can also link your Waalaxy account to a Gmail or Outlook account, or another email client.
The Salesdorado takeWe greatly appreciate that the team stays open and that you can suggest ideas for upcoming integrations on this Trello.

Advanced personalisation at the heart of multichannel prospecting
With sales prospecting getting more competitive, advanced message personalisation is essential to catch prospects’ attention at different stages of the conversion funnel. Through Waalaxy, every first name, surname, job title, email address or even phone number can be enriched automatically through tools such as Dropcontact or Phantombuster, so your multichannel campaigns land in a highly targeted way. That level of professional personalisation humanises the first contact, creating a conversation that feels natural despite heavy prospecting automation. Whether through emailing, LinkedIn messages or even CRM syncing, every action can be set up to avoid duplicates, respect the rules of good conduct and lift your reply rate. This intuitive, multichannel approach gives companies a real shot at generating qualified leads while cutting operational complexity.
Lemlist vs Waalaxy: which alternative to automate your prospecting campaigns?
When it comes to picking the best tool to automate your prospecting campaigns, the Lemlist vs Waalaxy match-up comes up again and again. Where Lemlist takes a heavily email-focused approach with a high level of personalisation, Waalaxy stands out through an integrated multichannel approach, combining LinkedIn, email and soon other social networks. For companies after the best value for money, Waalaxy offers an accessible freemium subscription, with a business plan that scales with your needs, where Lemlist stays more rigid on pricing. On tracking, automatic follow-up or chat assistance, both tools offer responsive customer support and a clear interface, but Waalaxy wins points for its Chrome extension and its near-autopilot operation. Whether you want to launch a cold campaign, enrich your data, or simply save real time managing your leads, Waalaxy stands as a solid alternative suited to every sector chasing sales efficiency.
