LinkedIn safety and your connection
How Allen connects to LinkedIn, what it never does, and keeping your account in good standing.
Guides
Is Allen safe for my LinkedIn account?
Allen acts through LinkedIn's official API with a permission you grant on LinkedIn's own screen. No password, no browser bot, a small daily number, and you see everything first.

What Allen never does on LinkedIn
No DMs, no InMails, no connection requests, no follows, no profile visits, no endorsements, no likes you did not choose, and nothing from a company page.

Connecting LinkedIn, and reconnecting every 60 days
Connect from Settings, Integrations. LinkedIn's permission lasts about 60 days, Allen reminds you a week before, and reconnecting takes thirty seconds.

Do I need LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator?
No. Allen works with a free LinkedIn account. Premium and Sales Navigator change nothing about how Allen finds posts or comments.

Using Allen alongside HeyReach, Waalaxy, Expandi or other outreach tools
Allen does comments; those tools do connection requests and messages. They do not conflict technically, but tools that drive your browser session carry their own risk.
