What’s your biggest concern about using LinkedIn automation tool?
Probably, that’s the safety of your LinkedIn account, right?
In this article, I am going to share with you the main LinkedIn rules you have to follow to prevent your account from getting flagged or even blocked.
Do Not Make More than 250 Actions Per Day on LinkedIn
LinkedIn’s monitoring system works pretty well and they won’t let you overuse their platform. Based on the results of our constant tests, once you do more than 250 actions (e.g. send a connection request, send a message, endorse skills, view profile) per day, your account might get flagged by the monitoring system on LinkedIn. And once you do that again, there is a high chance for your account to get blocked for such an excessive activity.
Therefore, we do not recommend performing more than 250 actions / day on LinkedIn (or 100 actions if you have a free LinkedIn account).
Also, keep in mind the new weekly connecting limit on LinkedIn (in most cases ranges from 100 up to 400 connection requests / week), and avoid sending more than 50-60 connection requests / day.
So, let me give you a quick example: let’s say you have a Sales Navigator account on LinkedIn and you’ve already sent 50 connection requests today, it means you can still perform 200 automated actions on LinkedIn (message, profile view, endorse skills) today.
Increase Your LinkedIn Performance Gradually
This rule is super important for you to know and follow, otherwise you might get into trouble.
The number of profile views, connection requests and messages you send should increase gradually with time. If you send 5 connection requests or messages today and then you’ll send 60 connection requests / messages tomorrow, LinkedIn might flag your account. Start from sending a small portion of connection requests and increase the daily limit by 5-10 additional connection requests.
The best scenario for you is the following:
- Day 1. You send 5 connection requests
- Day 2. You send 10 connection requests
- Day 3. You send 15 connection requests
- Day 4. You send 20 connection requests
- Day 5. You send 25 connection requests
- Day 6. You send 30 connection requests
- Day 7. You send 35 connection requests
- …
And continue sending 50-60 connection requests each day.
Hopefully, you’re having Octopus CRM and it will take a few seconds of your manual work a day to launch the tool and let it work for you 🙂

Make Sure You Have Less than 800 Pending Invitations Sent
Once you start sending connection requests on a daily basis, you’ll definitely notice that the number of pending invitations sent by you will gradually increase. LinkedIn will notice this as well and once you get a big number there (around 2000 – 3000 pending invites), you might temporarily lose the ability to send connection requests.
Therefore, go to LinkedIn -> “My Network” -> “Manage all” -> “Sent” and withdraw some old invitations. Always keep an eye on this section and remove some old invites at least once a week.
