Your thoughts on LinkedIn automation tool?

Since my LinkedIn account is quite new, I want to build connections and I was wondering if any LinkedIn automation tool would be helpful to do that without much risk of getting restricted?

That's what I had expected to be the answer.

no. this a terrible approach. Not only will it get you banned but it doesn't help you be authentic. And on LI that is pretty key.ย

I send 10 requests when I'm in any internal meeting which could've been an email. Added 10k+ Connections in last 1 year doing this religiously.

All automation tools risk you getting restricted. Just connect with people while you're prospecting and you'll build your account.

I second this, LI premium helps from time to time but that's it

LinkedIn is strict with automation stuff. They'll drop the ban hammer quick. I've had my account suspended a few times and that's without automation tools, just doing stuff naturallyย

Connection count doesn't mean squat if they aren't genuine. Forget about automating LI prospecting. It'll just cause problems for you.

In use phantom buster to send connection requests to 25 contacts per day based on save navigator searches. Worth every damn penny of the $29/month I spend on it

Great way to get your account closed.

Automation on LI used to work a few years ago. Now you'd get banned super easily. I used to do outreach via Duxsoup at the first startup I worked at with around 300-400 contacts a week.

Now the weekly limit is 100-150 something.

With PhantomBuster you can do quite a lot of automation, you also have option to program it so it looks like a human, you can save a lot of time with those tools if you use it well.

I have one like : send 2 connection invites to prospects with a simple note template in the database, do this every 3 hours from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. Once this is done, send an introduction message with %firstName% template.
