2.12.X

Fix: invite by email option removed, undocumented feature fixed. |
Invite by email option is removed from Linked Helper as LinkedIn now does not allow its users to invite profiles via importing email addresses directly one by one or from a CSV file on this page - https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/import-contacts/iwe/. LinkedIn support representative said that members no longer have access to the following features: 1) Sending invitations via direct email and 2) Uploading file of contacts to send invitations.

Now Linked Helper can get extra profile's ID from PAS service and define the status of a connection without the need of visiting a profile first. |
2.11.9
Fix: Check for replies |

2.8.19
Fix: education degree parcing |
Previously, LinkedIn submitted education degree and education field of strudy in separate fields, but now those are included in the same field. At the moment Linked Helper defines what is what based on a comma that separates them. |
Fix: collecting of organizations |
If there were too many filters in company search, then the search request became bigger than Linked Helper expected the the collecting failed. |

2.5.X
2.5.7

It will start visiting the profile only if there is not enough data for email search in the LH Email Finder database. |

2.4.4
Feature: Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts can invite by email |
Previously, in order to use the invite by email functionality of Linkedin to overcome the weekly invitation limit, one should use a separate action called Invite person by email as Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts was not adapted to use that functionality, hence two different campaigns were required for these two different methods. Now Invite 2nd and 3rd level contacts action can invite profiles by email the same way Invite person by email does that. As a result, you can have one campaign for both methods. |
2.4.1
Feature: license activation |
License is now activated when the first campaign is created and started, while previously activation was at the moment of starting the LinkedIn account instance. |

2.3.8
Fix: LinkedIn request for email |
In rare cases, LinkedIn may ask you to provide the profile's email address in order to send the invitation, but that request is not visible, hence it looks like Linked Helper failed to process the profile while it fact the issue is on the LinkedIn side. |
2.3.7
Fix: incorrect connect response from the LinkedIn server |
When inviting in Sales Navigator, the LinkedIn server returned an incorrect response while in fact invitations were successfully sent out. Since Linked Helper could not know those invitations were successfully sent, it moved them to Failed list and kept inviting till the Invite 2nd and 3rd contacts limit was over. We added a workaround for this case as the error is on the LinkedIn side. |
2.3.6

1.14.4
Feature: shortcut to the article on weekly invitations limit |
Linkedin's weekly invitation limit is a serious problem for many customers, but not everyone knows that we already provided our users with several solutions and workarounds. The link in the Need Help menu leads to the article which mentions all of them in one place. |
Feature: loader during long operations |
When it takes too long to complete the operation, a loader appears to show that Linked Helper 2 is not frozen or gets stuck. |

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

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! |

1.10.5
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: 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 |

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
and 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
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: |
The collecting process failed when the search request was carried out in Sales Navigator with a certain combination of filters. |
Fix: |
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. |

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. |

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
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: |

1.8.7
Fix: error 404 |

1.8.3
Fix: Export for support option |
When the Export for support option is clicked, Linked Helper gets stuck in a loop. |

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. |

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. |
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 |
|
The action name depends on the mode you selected |
|
Action Send person to Zapier now sends custom fields of action level as well |
1.7.3

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

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:

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 |
|
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. |
