⚠️ EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE:

Caution

Use at your own risk. Automating actions on LinkedIn violates their User Agreement and Professional Community Policies.

Potential Risks Include:

• Temporary account restriction.
• Permanent account ban.
• Flagging of your IP address.

The authors of this repository are not responsible for any consequences resulting from the use of this tool. We strongly recommend:

• Do NOT send more than 20 requests per day.
• Do NOT run this on a server (AWS/Azure/GitHub Actions) - Always run locally.
• Monitor your account health regularly.

Features

• 🛡️ Safe & Local: Runs on your own machine using your own IP, reducing detection risk compared to cloud bots.
• 🧠 Smart Automation:
  • Filters by Company and Role.
  • Automatically handles "Connect" buttons.
  • Dismisses "Send with note" modals (sends without note).
  • Auto-Dismisses "You are growing your network too fast" warnings.
• 💾 Persistent Login: Log in once manually; the bot saves your session locally so you don't have to log in again.
• 🎨 Modern UI: A clean, dark-mode Web Interface to control the bot easily.

Troubleshooting

• "Chrome not reachable": If the bot gets stuck or you see this error, click the yellow Force Reset button in the UI. This will forcibly close all Chrome instances and reset the driver.
• Login Loop: If the bot keeps asking you to login, ensure you are not using an Incognito window and that the chrome_data folder is being created.
