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)
- Open LinkedIn in Chrome and log in
- Click the Clawdbot Browser Relay toolbar icon to attach the tab
- Use
browser tool with profile="chrome"
Option 2: Isolated Browser
- Use
browser tool with profile="clawd"
- Navigate to linkedin.com
- Log in manually (one-time setup)
- 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!)
- Navigate to messaging or profile
- Use
browser action=act with click/type actions
- 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:
- Open LinkedIn in browser, log in
- DevTools → Application → Cookies → linkedin.com
- Copy
li_at value
- Store securely for API requests
Dependencies
This skill requires Chromium browser automation. Platform-specific system dependencies:
Linux
sudo apt install -y libgbm1 libasound2
sudo dnf install -y libgbm alsa-lib
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm libgbm alsa-lib
macOS
No additional system dependencies required.
Windows
No additional system dependencies required (bundled with browser engine).
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
- Linux: If browser fails to start, verify
libgbm1 and libasound2 are installed: ldconfig -p | grep -E "libgbm|libasound"
