How Snov.io protects your LinkedIn account during automation (coming soon)

The LinkedIn automation feature is currently undergoing beta testing at Snov.io. We’re excited to roll this out in an upcoming update.

In this article, you’ll learn about the measures we take to ensure your LinkedIn account is secure while you use automation.

LinkedIn takes spammy and unnatural behavior on its platform seriously, flagging any account that behaves contrary to its standards.

When you use the LinkedIn Automation, Snov.io implements measures to ensure safety and avoid triggering automation detectors.

How Snov.io protects your LinkedIn account

The primary goal of the protection measures Snov.io takes is to imitate human behavior in your automated LinkedIn sequences.

Here’s what we are already doing for your account’s safety during the beta test (and what we plan to continue with future updates).

1. The automation operates on cloud-based servers to improve security and performance – already implemented.

When you set up the automation, we provide a built-in dedicated proxy (IP-address) based on the location you specify in your account settings.

This makes your LinkedIn account safe during automation and lowers the chance of your activities being marked as suspicious.

2. We automatically apply safe daily limits for LinkedIn activities – already implemented.

When you add your LinkedIn account to Snov.io, it is configured with Safety limits mode: 20 profile views, 20 connection requests, 20 messages, 20 likes per day.

Once this limit is reached, the automation will be on hold until the following day.

Your account’s safety is our top priority as you begin using the automation.

These moderate activity limits from day one are meant to safely build up your account’s performance.

3. Snov.io enables automatic account warm-up – will be implemented in future updates.

Newly added LinkedIn accounts will have a warm-up mode activated by default.

This feature gradually increases the number of connection requests sent by your automation until it reaches the maximum recommended limit.

This action is the one that requires a careful approach, as LinkedIn may restrict your account for sending too many invitations right away.

With warm-up mode, you’ll grow engagement and connect with more leads without a risk of being blocked.

4. The automation helps improve your Social Selling Index (SSI) score on LinkedIn – already implemented.

Using automation for activities can boost your LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI) score, which shows how reputable, trustworthy, and effective your account is.

We detect this score and add it to your account details on Snov.io, so you can track it directly within our platform and safely scale your LinkedIn outreach.

As your SSI score improves, your recommended daily limit for activities on LinkedIn also increases.

5. Your LinkedIn sequences are executed according to the schedule you set, with human-like delays – already implemented.

In the automation settings, you can pick when you want the activities to happen, like when you’re usually online or when your leads are most active.

The automation will stick to this schedule and only do actions at the set times.

This helps in making the automated actions appear more natural and match your usual activity patterns.

Even if you don’t set a schedule, the actions will be spread out through the day at a natural pace.

6. While your automation is running, we use a system that alternates actions between two types of devices: desktop and mobile.

This approach not only mimics the usual way people use different devices but also optimizes the use of your daily limits, as LinkedIn tracks device usage separately.

This also means you reserve more of your daily limit for manual activities you do on LinkedIn.

What’s next:

Snov.io is committed to continuously monitoring and improving the performance of our automation features.

We stay updated with LinkedIn’s policies to ensure our tools are not only effective for your outreach efforts but also fully secure for your account.
