Send LinkedIn connection requests

Line up requests in FollowThroo, then send them from the Windows desktop app.

Steps

  1. Line up the requests. In Leads, tick the people and choose Connect on LinkedIn, or add a LinkedIn connection step to a campaign. Check whether each request carries a short note before anything is sent.
  2. Install the Windows app and sign in. Download it from the desktop page on our website. It opens its own Chrome window, using a profile kept on your computer, so your normal browsing is not touched.
  3. Send. The app shows how many requests went out today, how many you can still send, your daily limit, and how many can carry a note. Click Send connections only when you can leave that window alone while it works.

Limits and safety

  • The safest maximum is 20 requests per LinkedIn account per day. You can set a lower limit.
  • A free LinkedIn account can add a note to 3 requests a day. Choose which ones under Channels, then LinkedIn, in the list of queued invitations.
  • The app stops by itself at your daily limit, when LinkedIn says you have sent too many, when LinkedIn asks you to sign in or prove you are human, or after repeated errors.
  • A request costs 3 credits, or 5 with a note.

Automated sending can break LinkedIn's rules and can get an account restricted. Keep your limits low and check what is lined up before you start.
