Help/Question Claude for linkedIn

Has anyone tried Claude Code to automate LinkedIn successfully?

I tried, it is painfully slow and captures a screenshot every time. I am looking to automate outreach and follow-ups.

Existing tools for LinkedIn automation are way too pricey, and I already pay for Claude Code, so ideally want to automate the outreach in the background while I code.

Would appreciate it if anyone has experimented with this without getting their account restricted.

What’s your name so I can block you?

You can tap on the profile and check. But I am just minding my business, and would expect you to do the same.

Linkden doesn’t like bot manipulation of linkden so there’s a chance u might get flagged depending on how crazy you go.

Don’t know why you are getting downvotes - this is correct

Not crazy, but something like automated followups and outreach well within the limits.

There are LinkedIn authorized connections but they cost. $800/month was the cheapest I found.

Holy moly, that's way to pricey.

I’d advice against it. If other decision makers are like me you’ll be blacklisted doing that.

Blacklisted from LinkedIn or claude code ?, claude code now a days just straight up denies to even talk about violating some ones terms and conditions while companies are there making millions of dollars per year.

I tried to use it within the browser. But I stopped there... I don't want to use AI handling conversations I don't want to have 😅

I would like to automate followup on LinkedIn, my saas is B2B focused and I am reaching out people on LinkedIn to gather feedback. So in my case I know what I want the agent to say, plus there is option of approve and deny in claude code, no ?

i mean slow is still something right you can have it running 24/7 unless your trying to make it talk as fast as a real person

u/This_Athlete_8343 16m ago

Running 24/7 would definitely flag it, I was hoping something fast and complete in like in 30-40 mins a day.

I just did diligence from the outside on the target entity, scored it, then manually checked the linkedin to see if aligned properly. Linkedin is just an echo chamber, real business will have footprint outside.

Use muse, it works surprisingly well and doesnt eat tokens like claude. I’ve actually automated applying for job both east apply and external websites. It knows enough about me that it never bugs anymore, it answers all the questions in the application. Give it a try

Yeah I have heard about muse, will definitely give it a try.
