Automation Features

ReachDraft includes a suite of automation tools that let you send messages, connect with prospects, visit profiles, endorse skills, and like posts in batch from LinkedIn search results.

Plan availability: Automation is not included on Free. Pro includes Assisted sending and Visit automation. Business includes Assisted Mode, Auto Mode, and the full quick action suite.

LinkedIn prohibits automated activity. Using any automation tool on LinkedIn carries the risk of account restrictions. ReachDraft includes rate limiting, daily caps, and randomized delays to reduce this risk, but it cannot eliminate it entirely. You are responsible for how you use these features. Every automation action in ReachDraft shows a risk disclosure before it runs.

Available Automation Actions

All automation actions work from LinkedIn search results in Batch Mode:

Send All — sends your generated messages to each selected profile via LinkedIn messaging
Connect All — sends connection requests with your generated message as the note
Visit All — visits each selected profile so they see you viewed them
Endorse — endorses skills on each selected profile
Like Posts — likes a recent post from each selected profile

How Batch Sending Works

After generating messages in Batch Mode, a new control bar appears with Send All and Connect All buttons. When you click one of these:

A risk disclosure appears explaining what will happen
ReachDraft navigates to each profile on the active LinkedIn tab
It opens the message window, types the message, and sends it
It waits a randomized delay before moving to the next profile
Progress is shown in real time with sent/failed/skipped counts

Assisted Mode vs. Auto Mode

The mode toggle next to the send buttons controls how much oversight you have during sending:

Assisted Mode (Default)

Each message pauses with a 5-second countdown before sending. You see who the message is going to and can cancel that individual send or stop the entire batch. This is the safer option and the one we recommend. Assisted Mode is available on Pro and Business.

Auto Mode

Messages send without pausing for confirmation. This is faster but gives you less control. Switching to Auto Mode triggers its own separate risk warning because it increases the chance of sending something you did not intend to send, and it increases the overall speed of automated activity on your account. Auto Mode is available on Business.

Why two modes? Some users want full control and review every message before it goes out. Others have already reviewed their batch and want it sent quickly. Assisted Mode is the default because reviewing each message before it sends is the safest approach, both for your account and for message quality. Auto Mode exists for experienced users who have already reviewed and edited their batch.

Why the Warnings Exist

Every automation action shows a risk disclosure modal the first time you use it. Here is why:

LinkedIn actively enforces its Terms of Service against automated activity. Accounts that trigger their detection systems can be temporarily or permanently restricted.
Automation tools carry inherent risk. No browser extension can guarantee it will not be detected. LinkedIn monitors patterns like rapid profile visits, identical message timing, and unusual engagement spikes.
We want you to make an informed decision. Some users are comfortable with the risk. Others prefer to stick with manual generation and copy/paste. Both approaches are valid, and ReachDraft supports both.

You can check "Don't show this again" on any warning after you have read and understood it. The warning will not appear again for that specific action.

Built-in Safety Controls

ReachDraft includes several protections to reduce the risk of triggering LinkedIn's detection:

Daily send cap — limited to 40 automated sends per day to stay within safe thresholds
Randomized delays — wait times between actions vary so the pattern does not look robotic
Duplicate detection — profiles you have already messaged in the last 30 days are automatically skipped
Pause, resume, and emergency stop — you can pause the batch at any time, resume later, or stop everything immediately
Tab-based execution — actions run on your visible LinkedIn tab so you can see exactly what is happening

Quick Actions: Visit, Endorse, Like

These actions do not require generating messages first. They appear as buttons below the batch profile list:

Visit All — opens each selected profile. The person sees you viewed them, which can warm them up before you reach out. Available on Pro and Business.
Endorse — endorses skills on selected profiles. A low-friction way to get on someone's radar. Available on Business.
Like Posts — likes a recent post from each selected profile. Engages with their content before you send a message. Available on Business.

Each quick action shows its own risk warning explaining what it does and what LinkedIn monitors for that type of activity.

Best Practices

Start with small batches (5-10 profiles) and increase gradually
Use Assisted Mode until you are confident in your message quality
Spread automation across the day rather than running large batches all at once
Warm up prospects with profile visits or post likes before sending connection requests
Review and edit generated messages before sending, especially connection notes
If LinkedIn shows any warnings about unusual activity, stop automation immediately and wait a few days
