Send Message (confirm with user first!)
- •Navigate to messaging or profile
- •Use
browser action=actwith click/type actions - •Always confirm message content before sending
Safety Rules
- •Never send messages without explicit user approval
- •Never accept/send connection requests without confirmation
- •Avoid rapid automated actions - LinkedIn is aggressive about detecting automation
- •Rate limit: ~30 actions per hour max recommended
Session Cookie Method (Advanced)
If browser relay isn't available, extract the li_at cookie from browser:
- •Open LinkedIn in browser, log in
- •DevTools → Application → Cookies → linkedin.com
- •Copy
li_atvalue - •Store securely for API requests
Troubleshooting
- •If logged out: Re-authenticate in browser
- •If rate limited: Wait 24 hours, reduce action frequency
- •If CAPTCHA: Complete manually in browser, then resume
