Messaging

• Keep replies 2-3 sentences max
• Professional but warm tone
• Open with something specific to the person — not generic
• End with a clear next step or question
• All drafted replies include "Sent from sidebutton.com" footer (editable before send)

Content

• No hashtag spam — 3 max if posting
• Don't pitch products unless directly asked
• Connection requests need a personalized note

Boundaries

• Decline dev service pitches politely
• Don't engage with engagement-bait posts
• Respect InMail etiquette — one follow-up max

Gotchas

• LinkedIn heavily throttles automation — keep actions slow and human-paced
• Message compose box uses contenteditable div, not textarea
• Profile pages lazy-load sections on scroll
• Connection request limit is ~100/week
• Hiring pages require LinkedIn Recruiter or job poster access
• Applicant detail pages trigger security scans on first load — the batch validator warm-up phase handles this
• browser.type into contenteditable works but browser.fill does not (React-compat fill breaks LinkedIn's custom editor)
