How to Avoid Getting Restricted
LinkedIn can restrict your account for various reasons. To avoid disrupting your workflow, follow a few simple rules.
- Do not send too many invitations\messages on LinkedIn too quickly or during one day. The exact amount differs from account to account, but this is especially important for accounts with little (< 500) connections. Normally, it should be safe to send around 50-100 invitations and 100-200 messages a day.
- Do not load too many searches from LinkedIn at the same time, keep 1 to 3 searches active.
- Do not set schedule for your account to be active 24/7. We recommend to set your account to be active for about 6 to 12 hours a day.
- For completely new LinkedIn accounts (i.e. just signed up on LinkedIn), we recommend to wait for a few days before connecting it to the app. Alternatively, you can enable special "safe" mode in the app for them to limit their activity.
- You can also contact us via support chat in the app and we will be happy to help you setup your accounts and workflows in a way that is both safe and efficient.
