Is SalesHero compliant with LinkedIn regulations?

Last updated on

SalesHero is built to help you grow on LinkedIn without putting your account at unnecessary risk. This guide explains how we align with LinkedIn usage expectations, what safeguards are built in, and the habits we recommend so you stay in safe operating ranges.

Quick Answer

Yes. SalesHero is designed with account safety in mind. We simulate human-like usage patterns, apply strict throttles, and cap sensitive actions. Still, no tool can guarantee immunity from platform enforcement, so please monitor your account.

How SalesHero helps protect your LinkedIn account

  • Human-like pacing: natural delays, micro-pauses, varied browsing rather than burst automation.
  • Controlled profile views: staggered visits; avoids hammering the same profiles repeatedly.
  • Messaging pattern variation: rotation, sequencing, and de-duplication reduce repetition flags.
  • Daily usage throttles: conservative guardrails on higher-risk actions (connections, visits, sends).
  • Session breaks: activity spread across realistic time blocks; not 24/7 nonstop.

Recommended daily activity limits

Default safe guidelines for a healthy, established LinkedIn account. Dial down for new or recently limited accounts.

  • Automated connection requests: hard-capped at 100 per day.
  • Automated profile visits: recommended max 500 per day.
  • Messaging volume: keep moderate; vary timing; avoid sudden spikes after big imports.

Tip: Include any manual LinkedIn activity you do outside SalesHero when tracking totals.

Warm-up Guidance (new or recently limited accounts)

Ramp gradually over 2–4 weeks.

Week 1: Light browsing. 10–20 connection requests/day max. Minimal automation.

Week 2: Increase slowly. 30–50 connection requests/day. Light messaging.

Week 3+: Grow toward your steady range if invite acceptance and engagement look healthy.

Pause and reassess if you see invite blocks, frequent Captchas, or sign-in challenges.

Best Practices For Staying Safe

  • Monitor usage daily: pending invites, sent volume, profile views.
  • Withdraw old pending invites: clearing backlog lowers risk.
  • Personalize messages: avoid blasting identical copy to large lists.
  • Mix actions: view, connect, engage posts, message. Pure outbound spikes look unnatural.
  • Target ideal profiles: higher acceptance rates are safer.
  • Stop if flagged: pause campaigns and contact support if LinkedIn slows or blocks actions.

Monitoring Inside SalesHero

Use in-app metrics to stay within limits:

  • Sent connection totals.
  • Profile visit counts.
  • Messages sent per campaign.
  • Daily/weekly volume spikes.

Set internal rules so multiple reps do not push the same LinkedIn seat over safe ranges.

Common Questions

  • Does SalesHero comply with LinkedIn regulations?
    SalesHero operates conservatively within LinkedIn’s ecosystem; not officially endorsed. Enforcement may change, so follow the usage limits above.
  • What happens if I hit the 100 connection cap?
    We queue the overflow and pace it into the next safe window. View queued items in your dashboard.
  • Can I raise the limits?
    Defaults are intentionally conservative. Contact support if you have a mature, high-trust account and want to discuss adjusted ceilings.
  • Why cap profile visits at 500/day?
    High-volume viewing can appear automated. Staying under 500 reduces pattern risk, especially when combined with outbound messaging.
  • Will SalesHero get my account banned?
    No tool can promise zero risk. Our throttling, pacing, and pattern randomization help reduce exposure, but safe results depend on your usage choices.

Troubleshooting Safety Warnings

Slow down immediately if you see:

  • "You are reaching the weekly invitation limit."
  • Repeated Captchas during normal browsing.
  • Forced password resets or security checks.
  • Sudden drops in delivered vs sent messages.

Action: Pause automation 24–48 hours, clear pending invites, reduce volume on restart.
