Overview

LeadShark is a LinkedIn automation platform that captures leads from your post engagement - comments, likes, and profile visits. By connecting LeadShark to Kakiyo, these engaged leads automatically become prospects in your outreach campaigns.
Use Case: You post valuable content on LinkedIn. When someone comments “Interested!” or likes your post, LeadShark captures their profile and Kakiyo automatically adds them to your campaign for personalized AI-powered follow-up.

Prerequisites

  • A Kakiyo account with an active campaign
  • A LeadShark account (sign up here)
  • An active or “prospects needed” campaign in Kakiyo

Step 1: Navigate to Integrations

Go to your Kakiyo dashboard and click on Integrations in the sidebar under the Developer section.
Kakiyo Integrations Page
You’ll see LeadShark listed as an available integration. Click on the card to view details.

Step 2: Open LeadShark Integration

Click on the LeadShark card to open the integration detail page.
LeadShark Integration Detail
Here you can see your existing connections or add a new one.

Step 3: Add New Connection

Click the Add Connection button to start the setup wizard.
Add Connection Dialog - Step 1
The connection wizard has 3 simple steps.

Step 4: Configure Connection Details

Enter a name for your connection (optional) and select the campaign where leads should be added.
Configure Connection
Only active campaigns or campaigns with “prospects needed” status are shown in the dropdown.
Click Next to continue.

Step 5: Copy the Webhook URL

Kakiyo generates a unique webhook URL for this connection. Click the copy button to copy it to your clipboard.
Copy Webhook URL
Keep this URL secure. Anyone with this URL could send data to your campaign.

Step 6: Configure LeadShark Webhook

Open a new tab and go to your LeadShark Dashboard Settings. Navigate to the Webhooks section and click to add a new webhook.
LeadShark Webhook Settings
Paste the webhook URL you copied from Kakiyo and save.

Step 7: Copy the Webhook Secret

After creating the webhook in LeadShark, you’ll receive a webhook secret. Copy this secret.
LeadShark Webhook Secret
The secret is used to verify that webhooks are actually coming from LeadShark, not a malicious third party.

Step 8: Activate the Connection

Return to the Kakiyo dashboard. Your connection shows as Pending because we need the secret to verify webhooks.
Pending Connection
Click the Activate button to enter your secret.

Step 9: Enter the Secret

Paste the webhook secret from LeadShark into the dialog.
Enter Secret Dialog
Click Activate to complete the setup.

Step 10: Connection Active

Your LeadShark integration is now active and ready to receive leads.
Active Connection
You’re all set! When someone engages with your LinkedIn content, LeadShark will automatically send their profile to Kakiyo, where they’ll be added as prospects to your campaign.

What Happens Next?

Once active, the integration works automatically:
  1. Lead Captured - Someone comments/likes your LinkedIn post
  2. Webhook Sent - LeadShark sends lead data to Kakiyo
  3. Prospect Created - Kakiyo adds them to your campaign
  4. AI Outreach - Your AI agent can follow up with personalized messages

Managing Connections

From the integration detail page, you can:
  • View Stats - See how many leads have been captured
  • Edit Settings - Change the target campaign
  • Copy URL - Get the webhook URL again
  • Delete - Remove the connection

Troubleshooting

  1. Check that your connection shows as Active (not Pending)
  2. Verify the webhook URL is correctly configured in LeadShark
  3. Ensure your campaign is in Active or Prospects Needed status
Make sure the secret in Kakiyo exactly matches the secret from LeadShark. Re-copy and paste if needed.
Kakiyo automatically deduplicates leads by LinkedIn URL. If a lead is already in your campaign, they won’t be added again.
