Send a LinkedIn connection request with a note, after you approve

The write no scraper can do. Finds a person in the LinkedIn app, opens their profile, taps Connect and then 'Add a note', and stops there holding the phone. You see whose profile it is and the note before anything is sent. On approval it types the note and sends, then confirms by the button turning to Pending rather than by the tap.

Inputs

personthe person's name as LinkedIn shows it
contexta word or two to pick the right one in search, e.g. their company
notethe connection note, under 300 characters, typed exactly as written; you can replace it at the pause

Run it

1. Reach the point of no return, and stop. Nothing is written here.

run_task({
  "phases": [{
    "launch": "com.linkedin.android",
    "openUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=<person>%20<context>",
    "goal": "The LinkedIn People search results for '<person> <context>' are open. Do not type and do not use the search box. Tap the result whose name is <person> to open their profile. On the profile tap Connect; if Connect is not shown, tap More and then Connect. When a dialog offers 'Add a note', tap it so the note field is open. Do not type and do not tap Send.",
    "findTexts": ["<person>", "Connect", "Add a note"],
    "pauseWhen": "LinkedIn's connection note dialog is open for <person>: a text field for the note and a Send button are showing",
    "maxSteps": 18
  }]
})

Substitute the inputs, URL-encoded in the link (spaces as %20). Poll get_task_status(task_id, wait_seconds: 30) until paused. The pause carries the labels on screen, including the profile name, so you can confirm it is the right person.

2. Show the user the person and the note. Wait for a yes.

3. Send it.

resume_task({
  "task_id": "<id>",
  "text": "<note>",
  "allowWrites": true,
  "repeat": 1,
  "countLabel": "^send",
  "goal": "Type the note into the open note field, then tap Send to send the connection request. Do not follow or message.",
  "maxSteps": 6
})

Poll until done. To walk away, resume_task({ task_id, abandon: true }) closes the dialog with nothing sent.

What comes back

result.phases[0].sent lists the request only when its effect was verified: the profile's button reading Pending. LinkedIn accepts a tap and silently drops the request once the weekly cap is hit, so the tap count is not the truth; the Sent list under My Network is.

Notes

  • LinkedIn caps invitations around 100 a week and throttles quietly past that. Keep batches small, and verify with the invitations-sent list rather than counting.
  • Notes are limited to 300 characters on free accounts. A longer note is cut by the app.
  • Some profiles show Follow rather than Connect. The goal covers the More menu route.

For many people at once, linkedin-invite-from-results invites from the result cards with one tap each and no note, which is far cheaper per invitation than opening each profile.
