What you are taking on when you use this

Read this before you connect an account, and before you connect a client's. It is written plainly on purpose.

LinkedIn does not permit third-party automation

LinkedIn's User Agreement — the "Don'ts" section, 8.2 — prohibits using bots or other unauthorised automated methods to act on the platform, including to drive engagement. LinkedIn's own help pages set out what can follow: an account can be restricted or shut down, and third-party tools can be made to stop working at any time, without notice to you or to us.

AlwaysNoticed operates a browser session on your account and publishes comments from it. That is automation. It falls inside what that clause covers. We are not going to tell you a story about why it does not.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LinkedIn Corporation, and nothing we do binds them.

We reduce the risk. We cannot remove it.

The honest position is this: your account may be restricted while you use this service, and it may be restricted for reasons that have nothing to do with us. LinkedIn does not publish its detection criteria, does not warn before acting in every case, and changes its enforcement without telling anyone. Nobody selling a tool in this category can tell you what your outcome will be, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does.

What we can tell you is what has happened so far: the founder's own account has run this system for four months, with no platform warning. That is one account. It is evidence, not a prediction, and it is the only track record we have.

The category has a history. Companies operating LinkedIn automation and scraping have been sued, forced to delete data, taken offline by browser-store enforcement, and had their own company pages and founders' personal profiles removed by LinkedIn — in one case while the product itself kept running. Assume the platform acts, and assume it can act on you.

What we actually do about it

These are risk-reduction measures. None of them is a promise, and we do not describe the result of them as anything other than reduced exposure.

Per-account limits: Hard daily caps on comments per account, split between the feed and your target list, defaulting to 30 and 18 and settable lower. There is no way to raise them for volume's sake.
Pacing that looks like a person: Sessions vary in length and character from night to night, mix reading, scrolling and idling with the actions, and sometimes do nothing at all. There are no fixed intervals and no bursts.
Standing down when you are there: Two sessions on one account at once is on LinkedIn's own list of reasons for restricting an account. The system checks for you every few actions, stops mid-session when it sees you, and waits.
Isolation: One dedicated IP per account, which does not move country between nights and is never shared with another customer. One browser identity per account. Encrypted credentials on a private volume, never in the database. A problem on one account cannot spread to another.
Working through the feed: Everything starts at the account's own home feed and moves through it. The system does not jump directly to profile or post URLs, and it does not collect profile data in bulk.
A full record: Every action is logged with its outcome, so if you are ever asked what happened on the account, you can answer with specifics.

What we do not promise

That your account will not be restricted, limited, suspended or closed.
That the service will keep working. LinkedIn can change something tomorrow that stops it.
Any particular number of followers, views, conversations, leads or deals.
That a comment we publish will be one you would have written. You set the rules; the system writes the text.

Our liability is limited, and you indemnify us, on the terms set out in the Terms of Service. Read those alongside this page — they are the part that binds.

What you should do

Decide deliberately. Read LinkedIn's User Agreement yourself. If losing this account would materially damage your business, think hard before connecting it, and take your own advice.
Tell your clients. If you are an agency, do not connect a client's account without their informed permission. Show them this page. Our terms require it.
Start low. Run one account, below the default limits, and look at the log every morning for the first fortnight.
Keep the account human. This service is engagement around other people's posts. Keep posting, replying and messaging yourself. An account whose only activity is automated looks like an account whose only activity is automated.
Watch for signals. Unusual login challenges, a sudden collapse in reach, or any warning from LinkedIn — pause the account and tell us. Pausing takes one click and takes effect mid-session.
Keep your own record. Export your activity log periodically. It is yours.

If something happens

Tell us as soon as you see it: [email protected]. We will pause the account, give you the full activity record for it, and tell you what we can see from our side. We cannot appeal to LinkedIn on your behalf, and we cannot restore an account. If a pattern affects more than one customer, we will stop the service for everyone while we work out why, and tell you that we have.
