# 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) 1. Open LinkedIn in Chrome and log in 2. Click the Clawdbot Browser Relay toolbar icon to attach the tab 3. Use `browser` tool with `profile="chrome"` ### Option 2: Isolated Browser 1. Use `browser` tool with `profile="clawd"` 2. Navigate to linkedin.com 3. Log in manually (one-time setup) 4. Session persists for future use ## Common Operations ### Check Connection Status ``` browser action=snapshot profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/" ``` ### View Notifications/Messages ``` browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/" browser action=snapshot profile=chrome ``` ### Search People ``` browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=QUERY" browser action=snapshot profile=chrome ``` ### View Profile ``` browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/in/USERNAME/" browser action=snapshot profile=chrome ``` ### Send Message (confirm with user first!) 1. Navigate to messaging or profile 2. Use `browser action=act` with click/type actions 3. 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: 1. Open LinkedIn in browser, log in 2. DevTools → Application → Cookies → linkedin.com 3. Copy `li_at` value 4. 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
