LinkedIn channel

Profile visit · invite · DM · InMail with weekly safety caps and warmup.

Autocloz drives LinkedIn through your own connected profile via Unipile or PhantomBuster, running profile-visit, invite, DM and InMail steps as a single sequence. Weekly safety caps and a per-account warmup hold the pace below the thresholds that get profiles restricted.

The problem

Why LinkedIn outreach gets accounts banned

LinkedIn does not publish their cap, but every account dialled past ~100 invites in 7 days starts seeing reduced visibility. Hit it twice and the account quietly stops being shown to second-degree connections — or gets restricted entirely.

  • Connection acceptance rate dropped below 15% suddenly
  • InMails sent but recipient never sees them
  • Account flagged as 'restricted' with no warning
  • Profile views dried up overnight

How it works

The detail.

The quiet 100/week wall — handled

LinkedIn does not publish their invite cap, but every account dialled past ~100 invites in a 7-day window starts seeing reduced visibility. Autocloz refuses to dispatch beyond that threshold by default, so your account stays inside the safe zone without you having to count.

Visit · invite · DM · InMail — one builder

Drop a LinkedIn step into any sequence, alongside email, call, SMS, or WhatsApp. Branch on connection acceptance, message read, or reply. The compliance gate fires before every action so a junior SDR cannot accidentally torch the team’s LinkedIn presence.

Replies stay where you can see them

InMail and connection-request replies federate into the shared Unibox, AI-tagged for intent, threaded against the same lead as their email and call activity. One queue for every channel.

Anti-ban rules

The rules that keep your account alive.

Every rule below is enforced before any outbound action. The compliance gate either passes or it doesn’t dispatch.

  • Hard cap at 100 invites per rolling 7-day window
    Why: Above this, LinkedIn quietly de-prioritises your profile in search and second-degree results.
  • Day 1 limit of 5 invites; ramp to 20 over 14 days
    Why: Fresh accounts that immediately blast 50 invites get auto-flagged within 48 hours.
  • Min-gap of 30 minutes between invites
    Why: Burst patterns are the most-cited signal in LinkedIn enforcement reverse-engineering posts.
  • Auto-pause on cookie disconnect
    Why: A logged-out cookie still being used is a banned-IP signal; we stop dispatching the moment we detect it.
  • Always personalise the invite note
    Why: Identical-text invites at scale are the single biggest ban predictor — the AI personalisation engine fixes this for free.
Sample sequence

A real sequence using this channel — day by day.

  1. Day 0
    Profile visit
    Triggers the 'who viewed me' notification — soft warm-up
  2. Day 1
    Connection invite
    Personalised note · within weekly cap · same TZ as prospect
  3. Day 4
    Direct message
    Only after acceptance · feels like a conversation, not a pitch
  4. Day 8
    Follow-up DM
    Different angle · share an asset (case study, video)
  5. Day 14
    InMail (if not connected)
    Last touch — only if invite still pending after 14 days
Human-paced LinkedIn limits and per-account warmup are designed to keep accounts healthy while improving acceptance rates.

FAQ

Specific to this feature.

Will my LinkedIn account get banned?

+

Not with default Autocloz settings — we cap below LinkedIn's enforcement threshold. The accounts that get banned are doing 100+ invites per day; we never let you go past 20.

Do I need LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

+

Not required. Autocloz works with your existing LinkedIn account; a Sales Navigator seat simply widens who you can reach.

Can I use multiple LinkedIn accounts?

+

Yes — one channel-account row per LinkedIn profile, owned by the operator who logs in to that profile. Each gets its own pacing budget.

What about LinkedIn Premium / Recruiter?

+

Both supported — they raise the InMail ceiling but don't change the invite cap. We honour whichever ceiling your seat carries.
