LinkedIn message about automation tool?

Did anyone else receive a message from LinkedIn yesterday stating they detected an automation tool on their account? I’m trying to identify the tool, I don’t think it’s LGM, but wanted to see if others received it.

Thanks,

Brent

Yes, I received it, and @Brice helped me tackle that, you need to make sure that you are not using these Extension in your browser:

You need to make sure that your linkedin activites are not too much.

  1. Tracking who viewed your profile, engaging with your posts ( I have disabled all these for a few weeks from last week itself) to slow down my activities.

@Brice your expert opinion is required here

Hey guys :wave:

The first thing to consider when you get a restriction is “how did they found me”.

  1. your browsing activity
  2. your activity volume

1. Regarding your Browsing Activity

LinkedIn has gotten really smart at detecting extensions - they can actually “see” which ones you have installed! Check out this article for the details: How LinkedIn Knows Which Chrome Extensions You Have Installed

Open your Chrome Extensions List, then compare it with this list of known extensions that linkedin are looking for: If you see some of your extensions in the list, i strongly recommend you to disactivate them.

Note: the google sheet linked above might not be up to date, so use your judgment here: try disabling any LinkedIn-related extensions for now, and that should help resolve the issue.

2. Regarding your Activity Volume

did you change the number of actions per day in your identity settings ? if your account is “old” enough (more than 6 months, have regular interactions with others…) and you didn’t go in the red zone, you shouldn be fine.

Note: Consider that if you automate with multiple tools, you should sum both activities !

Last, but not the least, when sending you a message that says you’ve be detected, you can click the “Agree to Comply” in the screen to get back your profile:

It’ll take 48h approx. and you’ll get your account back; But please, disactivate the linkedin extension before !

Hope this helps !!
