1.12.X

1.12.19

Feature: new select option

It is now possible to select profiles on the current page only:

Feature: "Message request accepted" can be counted as a reply

Linked Helper now can treat "Message request accepted" sent by LinkedIn system as replies:

You can enable this setting in the Advanced settings tab of the Check for replies action:

This setting can be helpful if you want to message group members and send a follow-up to only those who accepted your message request.

1.12.18

Fix: CSV downloading	It may take several hours to download a list of profiles via CSV if the database had more than 80K profile records. The work with database was optimized so now it takes several minutes only.
Fix: move to the next action	When filtered by the "Relationship" filter profiles were moved to the next action manually, the rest of the unfiltered profiles were moved to the next action as well.

1.12.16

Feature: compare messages before sending

It may happen that Linked Helper sent a message already, but due to the network or your PC issues results were not written in the database, hence the profile may stay in the Queue and receive a duplicate message despite the fact that it was already sent. Since now it won't happen anymore as Linked Helper compares the message that's going to be sent to the last message sent by you to the recipient, and if there is a match then no message will be sent.

1.12.14

Fix: scraping phone numbers and emails

Phone numbers and emails were not scraped via the LinkedIn Talent platform even though they were on the page.

1.12.13

Feature: search for profiles in chat by name only

There is a bug on the LinkedIn side when a profile cannot be found in chat if searched by full name, yet it can be found if searched by name only.

1.12.12

Fix: "out of memory" error

After initializing the main process used a heap with a size of more than 2GB which led to random instance crashes due to "out of memory" error.

1.12.10

Fix: "Message template contains `firstName` or `lastName`, but same `values` is undefined" error

Recruiter URLs that were uploaded into Linked Helper "InMail to 2nd and 3rd contacts" cannot be visited and "Message template contains `firstName` or `lastName`, but same `values` is undefined" error was shown.

1.12.9

Fix: emails scraping

1st-degree connections' emails were not scrapped after the profile visit.

1.12.5

Fix: inpage navigation

In page navigation didn't work for certain accounts as Linked Helper couldn't recognize the profile from the options provided.

1.12.4

Fix: input method is not changed

Linked Helper typed message even if the action setting was switched to inserting.

1.12.1

Fix: check for replies

If there was an error in processing a profile in the Check for replies action, then some of the profiles got such and were not moved any further even if their time in the Queue was over.

1.12.0

Fix: in-page navigation

LinkedIn made a small update of its search to part of its users and Linked Helper 2 got redirected to an incorrect webpage instead of the profile's page, hence Linked Helper 2 had to navigate to the profile directly via its URL.

Feature: LinkedIn 100 invites limit hack

Linked Helper 2 can now overcome LinkedIn's weekly invitation limit! Using it, you can invite more than 100 profiles a week!

WARNING: getting past the LinkedIn invitation limit is done by using an undocumented LinkedIn feature, which cannot be reproduced manually. You must understand the risk of being detected by LinkedIn when deciding to use it.

All Linked Helper 2 features just reproduce real human actions by clicking buttons, scrolling, typing, or inserting texts to provide maximum security for your LinkedIn account, BUT not this one!

1.11.X

1.11.25

Fix: Failed to wait for new attachment widget This error message occurred during sending images in attachments. The reason was LinkedIn stopped uncovering attachments after uploading.

1.11.23

Fix:

Failed to attach image

An image was successfully uploaded and sent a couple of times before the action started to fail with the error due to the operation being timed out.

1.11.22

Fix: Failed to select found person Invite profile to follow organization failed when Linked Helper tried to choose a profile for the invitation.

1.11.21

Feature: new payment option	Licenses now can be bought via FastSpring - a full-service eCommerce partner that can accept payments via Credit / Debit cards, Amazon Pay, Wire Transfer.
Fix: InMail to 2nd and 3rd connections	In Basic LinkedIn, Linked Helper couldn't fill the Subject field of the InMail action while it worked well in Sales Navigator and Recruiter.

1.11.20

Fix: Cannot save messages in source PersonExternalId with not found Messaging scraping failed when a former group chat, which is now a private chat, was being scrapped as it missed persons who participated in the conversation.

1.11.19

Feature: scraping optimizations

Loading data models, such as Positions, Skills, Contact information (email, phones, websites, Twitter, etc.), is switched off in most actions in order to optimize Linked Helper work as well as to reduce the number of activities that LinkedIn can use as a pattern against Linked Helper.
Visit & Extract still loads all data models but they are cached now and updated rarely: positions are updated in 14 days since the last scraping, skills and emails - in 21 days since the last scraping.

Do not worry, about emails: if your 1st-degree connection doesn't have an email in the Linked Helper CRM, then Linked Helper tries to scrape them each time during profile visiting.

1.11.13

Fix: Invite by email

Linked Helper failed to send an invitation via email when the profile language was not English.

1.11.8

Fix: navigation to Sales Navigator	Linked Helper couldn't open profiles Sales Navigator web page via the Basic LinkedIn one due to the "No person identifier" error.
Fix: Message to 1st connections \| group members	Sales Navigator was updated and messages were failing with MessageToPersonViaSN.FailedToOpenChatForProfile error.

1.11.7

Fix: ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED error	The error occurred only on Linux Ubuntu during the execution of Like posts and articles.
Fix: last 24-hour actions limits	Last 24-hour action limit didn't stop the activity of Linked Helper.

1.11.5

Feature: messaging history to CSV

Messaging history can now be downloaded into CSV file. You can download either full or campaign messaging history, or both at the same time:

Feature: reject message depending on previous message content

It is now possible not to send a message if the messaging history contains certain phrase(s) that were sent by you, by profile, or by any of you:

1.11.4

Fix: Failed to send an image

Sending images failed due to different widgets of uploaded attachments.

1.11.1

Feature: Messaging history in Linked Helper

Now Linked Helper can scrape messaging history when sending messages or checking for replies. You can see sent or replied messages near the profile's name in the corresponding list (Successful or Replied list of the action):

Or full messaging history in the CRM profile's card:

1.10.X

1.10.5
1.10.2
1.10.1
1.10.0

1.10.5

Fix: when inviting by email, Linked Helper now submits only unique email addresses

When inviting by email, Linked Helper provides several email addresses if available in order to increase the chances of an invitation being accepted. However, if submitted emails are the same (for example, an email from the custom field is the same as an email fetched from snov.io), then LinkedIn shows an error:

1.10.2

Fix: Failed to send request after scrolling list of likers

When collecting post likers, Linked Helper got stuck at the first 10 profiles and then threw the error message.

1.10.1

Fix: Check for replies

Check for replies action didn't move profiles to the next action when their time in the Queue is over.

1.10.0

Ability to attach personalized image to your 1st level message in LinkedIn

Now it's possible not only to send a text message, but also to attach an image to it.

You can add image links to each profile via custom variables

Or you can add Uclic template URL to generate images automatically. Uclic is a personalized image generator.

Note: at this moment this feature doesn't work for Sales Navigator or Recruiter (including Talent) platforms.

You can use the override platform feature if you collected profiles not from LinkedIn in order to send messages via LinkedIn

1.9.X

1.9.17

Fix: Message action not found in person profile actions	Some LinkedIn profiles with a new interface (action buttons moved under profile's name) failed in Message to 1st connections \| Group members action.
Fix: Like posts and articles "Wait required response failed"	Linked Helper failed all profiles processed in Like posts and articles action with "Wait required response failed". Failed profiles can be moved back to the Queue - Managing profiles in Linked Helper 2
Fix: Campaigns runner could not be stopped	When Stop campaigns runner button is pressed, the status changed to "stopping" but the campaigns continued to be executed.
Fix: Mutual total number is not scraped	Linked Helper failed to get the total number of mutual connections, hence the standard {mutualTotal} variable was always empty.

1.9.13

Fix: campaign in the Basic UI got frozen and did not execute	Linked Helper's global time checker caused the issue and hang the instance, UI did not react to user actions.
FIx: some parts of UI failed to render	When Zapier webhook (deprecated, use Send person to webhook instead) was assigned to a LinkedIn account, part of the User Interface got broken.

1.9.11

Fix: Navigation to profile page failed

LinkedIn updated the user interface for a part of its users, Linked Helper could not navigate to the profile page

1.9.8

Invite person by email

and

Visit and Extract

now get more chances to get emails from Snov.io

1) Now Linked Helper asks Snov.io to find emails not only by name and domains, but by public profile URLs as well. This increases the chances to find emails.

2) If Snov.io is searching for emails for more than 3 minutes, Linked Helper moves such persons to the end of an action Queue to try again later instead of mark the person as failed for that action.

1.9.7

Fix: InMail limits

InMail action could continue to work even if InMail limits are exceeded

1.9.6

Fix: Invite cannot be sent due to new dialog	During invitation process, LinkedIn shows a popup for some profiles stating that a person prefers to be followed, hence Connect button could not be clicked.
Fix: data correction	Due to update from LinkedIn side, some profile URLs were saved with additional parameters after '?' sign, e.g. *jesfen-young-42b85730?miniProfileUrn=urn:fs_miniProfile:ACoAAaIZq* instead of just *jesfen-young-42b85730*. The update fixes the URLs so they are cut when exported.

1.9.4

New action: Invite person by Email

LinkedIn has limited the number of weekly invitations you can send per week to 100 for a lot of LinkedIn users.

The whole internet is overloaded with posts about this disaster, but we found a workaround:

Even if you reached the 100 weekly invitations limit you can still invite people by importing their emails. Unfortunately, such invitations cannot be personalized.

We developed the action Invite person by Email to automate this routine

Fix Invite cannot be sent due to new dialog

For some accounts LinkedIn tries to force send InMail or follow profile once you click "Connect" button. This interrupted "Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts" action work.

Fix incorrect public identifiers scrapping

For some LinkedIn accounts Linked Helper scrapped public identifiers with uncleared suffixes. Because of this issue Linked Helper couldn't navigate to a profile page.

1.9.3

Fix: Navigate Error

LinkedIn released an update and Linked Helper could not scrape Sales Navigator IDs when visiting LinkedIn profile, hence havigation to SN profile page was not possible.

1.9.2

Feature: local time synchronization reminder	There could be some issues if there is a difference in local time and time on your PC, for example, if you're in London, and your local time is 09:00 AM (GMT+01), but the PC where Linked Helper is running shows 9:05 AM (GMT+01). In this case, in order to avoid any possible issues, the Campaign runner is stopped and you're asked to synchronize the time.
Fix: navigation issue when sending InMails via Recruiter	If a profile was collected from a Basic LinkedIn search but Recruiter ID was not scraped, Linked Helper showed the error.

1.9.1

Fix: Cannot send request to `snov.io`	In the free subscription of snov.io, you're allowed to make up to 200 calls per second, once the rate is exceeded Linked Helper cannot fetch the email when visiting the profile. Now Linked Helper makes a 10 minutes pause when the limit is reached.
Fix: upload profiles from Linked Helper's CSV	When a CSV file with a modified cell is uploaded via the "Upload profiles from Linked Helper's CSV" method, several extra lines failed to be uploaded as well even though they were not modified.

1.8.X

1.8.23

Feature: upload profiles data from CSV

Currently, when you upload profiles from CSV, Linked Helper can get only URLs from that file, even if other data is presented. A new method called "Upload profiles from Linked Helper's CSV" allows you to upload to Linked Helper other data that is presented in CSV but only if that CSV was downloaded from Linked Helper version 1.8.23 or above:

1.8.22

Fix: Like posts and articles

LinkedIn updated web page and Linked Helper did not like posts or articles but simply went through those tabs and move profiles to the Successful list. The issue is fixed.

1.8.21

Feature: Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts	LinkedIn is placing a limit of 100 invitations per week on some LinkedIn accounts and shows a "You've reached the weekly invitation limit" popup when the weekly credits are over. Previously, Linked Helper tried to continue inviting even if the limit was reached, now it postpones the Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts action if the popup is shown.
Fix: failed to autologin	Linked Helper tried to autologin even if the LinkedIn account was already logged in.

1.8.20

Fix: `failed to collect`	The collecting process failed when the search request was carried out in Sales Navigator with a certain combination of filters.
Fix: `failed to load profile positions`	Navigation to certain profiles via Sales Navigator failed due to some parts of the webpage were not loaded properly.

1.8.19

Fix: inviting to Event failed

Linked Helper failed to send invitations to Event when the LinkedIn window was too small and the invite button was obstructed by a message popup.

1.8.17

Fix: Check for replies didn't move profiles to replied list

Processing peculiarities lead to a situation when the profile's reply time was written in the database as if it was sent before the message to which the profile replied hence the reply was not detected.

1.8.16

Fix: LinkedIn updated profile actions

LinkedIn released an update for some part of its users where profile actions buttons (Message, Connect, etc.) were relocated, hence Linked Helper couldn't perform any related action:

Fix: out of network profiles processed too long

It took more than 10 minutes to process out of network profile and move it into Failed sub-list in case it couldn't be processed. The issue is fixed and profiles are processed faster.

1.8.15

Feature: a possibility to choose Linked Helper default user data folder

It is now possible to choose/move the default folder where Linked Helper stores its user data - How to change Linked Helper user data folder

1.8.12

Fix: Message to 1st connections | Group members

When Linked Helper messaged profiles, LinkedIn sent Failed status as a response while in fact the message was sent, hence Linked Helper moved the profiles into the Failed list instead of the Successful one.

1.8.11

Fix: fail to navigate to the profile

When the LinkedIn account is not logged in Recruiter, and Linked Helper is about to extract profiles from Recruiter, then in such case the navigation to the first profile in Queue failed.

1.8.9

New filter for profile lists: Has modified name

Linked Helper tries to normalize first and last names: fixes register, removes smiles and middle names, and even tries to delete other unrelated information.

Now you can easily find all contacts those contacts for whom LH did that in order to check how properly it did so.

Fixed "Check for replies" for Sales Navigator

Some users got a small technical update of their Sales Navigator interfaces, so Check for replies couldn't work properly.

This update solves the issue.

New functionality: Launch auto accept invites

Filter contacts out of my network (keep 1st level only) Action has a new setting Launch "Accept invites" before Filter contacts out of my network that initiates accepting incoming invitations:

1.8.8

Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts can get emails from snov.io

If email is required to invite a profile, Linked Helper can now fetch it from snov.io directly. Please, check the Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts article, p. C. Fetch the email of the profile for inviting from snov.io for detailed instructions:

1.8.7

Fix: error 404	Request failed with status code 404 error that occurred during start was fixed.
Fix: extract email via snov.io	In some cases, during profile extraction via Visit & Extract profiles and snov.io, Linked Helper submitted the organization's URL instead of the domain.

1.8.5

Fix: InMail to 2nd & 3rd contacts

The Action failed right after the InMail Subject was added.

1.8.3

Fix: Export for support option	When the Export for support option is clicked, Linked Helper gets stuck in a loop.
Fix: TypeMessageIntoInputError	Linked Helper could not click Connect button when Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts action was being executed because LinkedIn changed the Connect button selector.
Fix: collecting	The first page of filtered search results was not collected.

1.8.1

Visit & Extract profiles action now can get emails even for people outside of your network

We made integration with Snov.io so now you can add your Snov.io API credentials https://app.snov.io/api-setting to Visit & Extract profiles action Advanced settings and get emails even for contacts out of your 1st level network.

Extracted emails can be saved to CSV or sent via Webhook

1.7.X

New feature: auto-extract profile's current company

Visit & Extract profiles can now automatically extract profile's current company:

Minor improvements

When Filter contacts out of my network (keep 1st level only) action is added, it is automatically named as "Check who already accepted invitations" and other minor improvements

1.7.8

Adding Send person to Zapier action is disabled

Linked Helper being an unpromoted app has reached its limits and now allowed to do only 100 calls per minute (i.e. you can send to Zapier only 100 profiles per minute), which results in the profiles being stuck in Zapier and not being transferred to another app:

As an alternative to avoid such a limit, profiles can be sent to Zapier via Send person to webhook Action. Please, check the following article for instructions: How to send profiles to Google Sheets or any other CRM / webapp via Zapier Webhook

Already integrated Send person to Zapier actions were not disabled and still working even if the limit is reached, so you should consider replacing them with Send person to webhook Action.

1.7.7

Fix: Collect menu freeze

Collect menu froze during the collecting process from Sent invites page.

1.7.6

Fix: LinkedIn cannot open Invite Popup

There is a glitch on the LinkedIn side when the invitation popup cannot be opened even manually unless you open Home page, navigate back to the profile, and try again.

Now Linked Helper retries such profiles and tries to visit Home page in case the popup cannot be opened for the first time.

1.7.5

Organization extractor changes	Linked Helper now tries to extract organization profiles by visiting in-page if it already knows an organization name. This is more human behavior.
Fix: Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts	Sometimes invitation popup cannot be opened when you or LH click "Connect" button due to the recent LinkedIn glitch. Now Linked Helper will try to repeat the action a few times before mark a person as failed
Follow / unfollow profiles	The action name depends on the mode you selected
Send person to Zapier	Action Send person to Zapier now sends custom fields of action level as well

1.7.3

Fix: Advanced limits		Advanced limits cannot be edited while a campaign is running
Feature added		Accepts invites action now sets profiles' relationship to 1st
Fix: Check For Replies		Some profiles in the action may be shown as part of a campaign Queue list instead of an InProgress list

1.7.2

Fix: backup cannot be imported

In some rare cases you could see:

Fix: upload organization URLs

Organization URLs with apostrophes couldn't be uploaded properly

https://www.linkedin.com/company/starlight-children's-foundation-australia/, https://www.linkedin.com/company/o'melveny-&-myers-llp/

1.7.0

Check For Replies action

behavior changed

Previously Check For Replies action scrolled down the list of your recent conversation until it reached the exact conversation with each person from the Queue.

In case you thousands of messages sent after the first message from the campaign Check For Replies scrolled down the list of your conversations so deep that the whole page became unresponsible due to many HTML elements on it.

Since this version Check For Replies will scroll down the conversation list only up to 200 recent conversations.

Conversations below of these 200 conversations will be checked by inserting a person name into the "Search messages" input:

Check For Replies will check only up to 40 conversations this way within a single iteration. That's why we decreased the default timeout between checks from 12 hours to 3 hours

1.6.X

1.6.18

Fix: cannot finalize profile state	When navigating to some profile pages, Linked Helper could not finalize the profile state and failed such profiles.
Other minor fixes

1.6.16

Fix: slow list load in case custom variables were used

If you use custom variables you may notice that it takes time to show people lists in your campaign.

This fix increases speed 3x.

We will additional performance improvements in some future releases.

1.6.15

Fix: Collecting failed error on LinkedIn

LinkedIn has changed the search page a bit, Linked Helper could not collect profiles and navigate to the next search results page, and showed the error. There were two updates from the LinkedIn side, the second one was noticed after the first fix was released.

1.6.13

Fixes: All actions performed from LinkedIn profiles pages are failed

LinkedIn has changed its data format for profile badges, so we had to update Linked Helper 2 accordingly

1.6.12

Fix: Advanced limit Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts couldn't be deleted

Since we introduced a default advanced limit for Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts some users decided to delete this limit instead of increasing it. In that case Linked Helper 2 restored the limit to default after the app restart.

This release fixes the issue

1.6.11

Advanced limit reached	Now you will see a notification in case any advanced limit exhausted at the top left corner of a Linked Helper 2 instance:
Other minor fixes

1.6.10

Increase in-page navigation speed

Improve in-page navigation when profiles were collected from the Talent platform, increase the speed of in-page navigation

1.6.9

Store person in CRM fix

In some very very rare cases a person couldn't be saved into LH CRM. This fix resolves the issue.

1.6.8

In-page navigation improvements	Now LH2 also compares by avatars
Fix Load LinkedIn profile via URL not counted	New advanced limit Load LinkedIn profile via URL introduced in 1.6.5 wasn't counted properly. This version fixes the issue

1.6.5

Fixing all actions for the normal LinkedIn profile page	LinkedIn has made some changes on Linkedin profile page, so actions like Message, InMail, Follow, Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts, etc stopped working. This update is fixing all these issues.
Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts action limit is now set to 50 per 24 hours by default	We suggest that you start with sending 50 invites per day and spend other 100 daily actions on different activities. You can easily raise the default limit if you want. Please, keep in mind that LinkedIn can restrict your ability to invite new people if a lot of people dismiss your connection requests in a short period of time.
New Advanced limits added	Load LinkedIn profile via URL (with 45 per 24 hours by default) Load Sales Navigator profile via UR Load LinkedIn Recruiter via URL
Advanced Load LinkedIn profile via URL set to 45 per 24 hours	If you open manually too many (>= 50) Linkedin profiles in a new browser tab in Chrome or any other browser or if you open profile by copying and pasting profile URLs LinkedIn may think that you are using an automation tool. This is true not for all LinkedIn accounts, but for many of them. That's why If Linked Helper knows the name of a contact, it will always search it by putting the name in the search field (check the in-page navigation). When it can’t find the person through a name search, it will try to load profiles via URL.
In-page navigation improvements	Now LH2 also tries to find a person by the original name (not only cleared name). This may improve the successful search hits rate in case a person has a middle name.
Other minor fixes and improvements

1.6.3

Fix dashboard performance issue

Dashboard statistics precision improvements made in LH2 1.6.2 significantly increased render time for the dashboard. This issue was fixed by adding additional indexes.

≤ 1.6.1

Accept Invites	"Accept Invites" is one of the Linked Helper functions that allows you to automatically accept invitations on LinkedIn.

Linked Helper 2 can help you to automatically invite your connections via this native LinkedIn functionality to attend a LinkedIn event.
Fixes and improvements	RAM usage optimization, enhanced duplicates detection.
Override platform	It is possible to change the platform for profiles in the Action's Queue if you want to collect profiles via Sales Navigator or Recruiter but send messages via Basic LinkedIn or vice versa.
Advanced limits	Allows you to limit certain activity type, for example, inviting, across all campaigns without disturbing other activity types like messaging or endorsing.
