Question 1

“You’ve reached the weekly LinkedIn invitation limit”: What it means and what to do.

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most common reasons users notice a temporary pause in Botdog’s activity and the good news is, it’s perfectly normal.

What does “You’ve reached the weekly invitation limit” mean?

LinkedIn gives every account a weekly allowance of connection requests. Once you reach that cap, LinkedIn shows this alert: “You’ve reached the weekly invitation limit.”

When that message appears, LinkedIn temporarily stops you from sending new invitations. In Botdog, you might see a sudden drop of invitations during a few days, then back to normal, like here on 04 Oct and 05 Oct:

The counter resets automatically. This isn’t a penalty or a warning, it’s just how LinkedIn keeps invitation activity under control.

How to confirm if that’s the reason invites have slowed down

It’s easy to check whether you’ve reached your limit:

Log into your LinkedIn account.
Try to manually send a connection request to someone new.
If you see the message “You’ve reached your weekly invitation limit”, that’s it, you’ve hit your cap. Once you see that message, there’s no need to worry or take any manual action. Botdog automatically detects it and adapts accordingly.

Why does this happen?

LinkedIn doesn’t publish official limits, but based on Botdog’s data:

Question 2

Connect your LinkedIn account using Cookies

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, connecting your LinkedIn account through cookies can be more sustainable, especially if you experience frequent disconnections. This method is particularly necessary for LinkedIn Recruiter accounts and accounts secured via SSO, as the connection will be blocked otherwise.

There are 2 methods you can choose from:

Installing a cookie editor extension
Grabbing the cookies manually

Here's how to use the cookie editor extension method:

Install a Cookie Editor Extension

First, you'll need a Chrome extension that allows you to view and edit cookies. We recommend "Cookie Editor," which you can find in the Chrome Web Store:

Question 5

How to Use Botdog's AI Variables for Better LinkedIn Messages

Accepted Answer

The Problem with Raw LinkedIn Data

LinkedIn profiles are inconsistent. You'll see:

Companies: "Apple Inc.", "APPLE COMPUTER", "Apple (Cupertino Office)"
Names: "John (He/Him)", "SARAH", "Dr. Michael Smith Jr."
Job titles: "Senior VP of Biz Dev & Strategic Partnerships (Remote) - We're hiring!"

Using this data directly makes your messages look robotic. That's where Botdog's AI variables come in.

How to Create AI Variables

Step 1: Start a new campaign

Step 2: Click the "AI variables" button

Step 3: Either use one of our templates or build your own

You can click "Use template" to see our pre-built prompts and learn from them.

Our 3 Core Templates

Clean Company Name We already remove basic suffixes like "LLC" and "GmbH" with our standard {{currentCompany}} variable, but AI handles complex cases much better. It can turn "Microsoft Corporation - Seattle Division" into just "Microsoft" or handle international variations that fixed rules miss.

Clean First Name Standard {{firstName}} alre

Question 6

How to Set Up Your Botdog.co Account

Accepted Answer

Follow these three simple steps to get started with LinkedIn automation:

1. Create an Account with Your Email address

At Botdog.co, we prioritize security. That's why we use email authentication instead of passwords.

Visit the Botdog.co website and click on "Sign Up" or "Get Started"
Enter your email address
Check your inbox for a verification email from Botdog.co
Click the verification link in the email to access your account

This method is more secure than traditional passwords and eliminates the need to remember complex login credentials.

2. Connect Your LinkedIn Profile

Botdog connects to LinkedIn personal profiles. LinkedIn Business/Company pages are not supported for sending connection requests or messages because LinkedIn only allows those actions from personal profiles.

To connect your LinkedIn account:

Once logged in, click the "Start by connecting your account" blue button on your dashboard.
Follow the prompts to authorize Botdog.co.
You'll be redirected to a LinkedIn login screen to confirm the connection. Select the "Credentials" method and enter your LinkedIn login details.
After confirming, you'll be brought back to your Botdog.co dashboard.
