Frequently Asked Questions
Is LinkedIn automation allowed?
LinkedIn's stance on automation is nuanced. While they don't explicitly allow it, responsible automation that mimics human behavior is widely used. LinkedOwl is designed to operate within acceptable parameters.
How long should I wait if my account gets restricted?
After completing verification, wait at least 1-2 weeks before resuming automation. Start with 50% of your previous activity levels.
Can I use multiple automation tools?
We strongly advise against using multiple automation tools simultaneously as this increases the risk of detection.
