Notes

• Do not use the mouse or keyboard while the app is running to avoid interruptions.
• Please install and enable the Octoparse AI extension before running the app.
• Log into your LinkedIn account beforehand in the designated browser. Keep the browser in full-screen mode during the run.
• To avoid triggering LinkedIn’s account restrictions, it’s recommended to send no more than 20 invites per working day, ideally 2 invites per launch, spaced out to once per working hour. You can gradually increase the number to find a safe limit for your account.
• LinkedIn doesn’t officially publish view limits—these estimates are based on user feedback and may vary depending on account activity, age, SSI score, and changes to LinkedIn’s algorithm.
