Autocloz + In-house automation

Autocloz's in-house LinkedIn automation runs profile visits, connection invites, messages and InMails from your own LinkedIn account, with no third-party tool in between. You connect under LinkedIn → Accounts, either by pasting your li_at session cookie (recommended) or by entering your email and password. Every action passes Autocloz's pacing rules: a 21-day ramp for new accounts, a weekly invite cap of 80 by default, random gaps between actions, lighter weekends and a stop at 1,000 pending invites.

What you can do with In-house automation

In-house automation plugs into the LinkedIn stack — connect your own linkedin session, scoped to your workspace.

Visit, invite, message, InMail

Sequence steps can view a profile, send an invite with or without a note, message a connection, or send an InMail from your account.

Pacing built in

Warm-up from 5 actions on day one, 60 to 300 seconds of random extra gap per action, a pause after 5 actions in 10 minutes, and weekend allowance cut to 30%.

Accepts and replies tracked

A poller checks your connections and messages so accepted invites and replies land on the lead timeline and in the Unibox.

How to connect In-house automation

Connect your own LinkedIn session — you keep control of the account, the spend and the data boundary.

1
Get your li_at cookie
Log in to LinkedIn in your normal browser, open developer tools → Application → Cookies → linkedin.com, and copy the li_at value.
2
Add the account in Autocloz
LinkedIn → Accounts → add account → Direct (paste cookie). Paste li_at and set the account's timezone.
3
Optional: add a proxy
A residential proxy in the account's settings makes requests come from one steady IP instead of Autocloz's server.
4
Add LinkedIn steps to a sequence
Start with visits and invites at low volume while the 21-day ramp runs.

The safety rules, with their numbers

Invites are the action LinkedIn watches most, so they carry the most rules. The weekly cap defaults to 80 invites in any trailing 7 days. Once a sender has 1,000 invites pending, new invites stop until older ones clear, and invites unanswered for 14 days are withdrawn automatically. If your 7-day accept rate stays under 30% for 3 days in a row, the daily cap is halved. Autocloz also skips a person another of your senders contacted in the last 90 days, and by default spaces contacts at the same company by 30 days.

Quiet hours for new LinkedIn senders are 20:00 to 09:00 in the account's timezone, because people do not send invites at 3 a.m. and LinkedIn notices patterns that look automated.

Risks you should know about

LinkedIn's user agreement does not allow automated activity, however it is done. Every LinkedIn automation tool works in that grey area, Autocloz included, and the pacing rules lower the risk rather than remove it. Password login (Direct, email and password) is the riskiest option because LinkedIn is quick to flag automated logins; Autocloz asks you to acknowledge that before saving it. Session cookies expire or get revoked, for example after a password change. When LinkedIn rejects the cookie, the account is marked reconnect needed and you paste a fresh li_at.

See LinkedIn automation for the full feature and InMail versus connection requests for when to use each.

What In-house automation does not do in Autocloz

It does not provide LinkedIn accounts, Sales Navigator seats or InMail credits.
It does not guarantee an account will never be restricted.
It does not log in more often than every 12 hours on the password path.

Troubleshooting In-house automation

The account shows reconnect needed.: The li_at cookie expired or was revoked. Log in to LinkedIn again and paste the new value.
Invites stop mid-week.: The weekly cap or the 1,000 pending-invite cap was reached. The touch shows which one.
Actions are slower than expected.: The account is inside its 21-day ramp, or the burst rule paused it for 20 minutes.

Part of the LinkedIn stack

In-house automation is one of the ways to drive the LinkedIn channel. Both share the same visit/invite/DM steps, weekly caps and unified-timeline tracking.
