LinkedIn

Use browser automation to interact with LinkedIn - check messages, view profiles, search, and send connection requests.

Connection Methods

Option 1: Chrome Extension Relay (Recommended)

Open LinkedIn in Chrome and log in

Click the Clawdbot Browser Relay toolbar icon to attach the tab

Use browser tool with profile="chrome"

Option 2: Isolated Browser

Use browser tool with profile="clawd"

Navigate to linkedin.com

Log in manually (one-time setup)

Session persists for future use

Common Operations

Check Connection Status

browser action=snapshot profile=chrome targetUrl=""

View Notifications/Messages

browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl=""
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome

Search People

browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl=""
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome

View Profile

browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl=""
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome

Send Message (confirm with user first!)

Navigate to messaging or profile

Use browser action=act with 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_at value

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
