LinkedIn automation · The safe way
Allen is not a bot.
Most "LinkedIn automation" scrapes profiles and blasts connect requests until the account gets flagged. Allen writes a few comments a day in your voice, shows you every one before it goes out, and posts through LinkedIn's own key. No browser bots. No password.

The part about onboarding debt lands. We saw the same thing once we passed 40 seats.
Don't post this oneCurious how you handled the handoff between sales and CS here.
Don't post this oneAgreed on hiring slower. The rework costs more than the empty seat does.
Don't post this oneThis is the email. You get one every morning, before anything goes out.
The short answer
Allen writes 3, 5 or 10 comments a day in your voice. It emails you all of them before any go out. Then it posts them with a key LinkedIn handed over when you said yes. No connect requests. No DMs. Nothing through your login. Do not like one? Pull it, and it never posts.
Yes, a computer writes them. We will not pretend otherwise. You are the one who decides what happens next.
Same autopilot. None of the bot behaviour.

01 · How Allen gets in
No back doors. Just LinkedIn's key.
You approve it on LinkedIn, not here
When you connect Allen, LinkedIn asks you first. You sign in on LinkedIn's own page. LinkedIn tells you what Allen will be able to do. Then LinkedIn hands Allen a key. You can take that key back any time, right from LinkedIn. You do not have to ask us.
LinkedIn’s own key
The key is called w_member_social. LinkedIn made it so an app can post comments for you. It is LinkedIn's own way of doing this. It is not a trick or a back door. It is the only way Allen ever touches LinkedIn.
No password, ever
Allen never sees your LinkedIn password. We never ask for it. We never save it. There is nothing for us to lose, and nothing for anyone to steal.
No browser bots
Nothing clicks around LinkedIn acting like you. No hidden browser. No copied cookies. The Chrome button only does something when you press it yourself.
allen. would like to:
- Post comments from your account
- See your name and photo
This is LinkedIn's screen, not ours. You can take it back on LinkedIn any time.
02 · Your morning email
You see the day. Then it runs.
Every morning, before anything goes out, Allen emails you the plan for the day. You see each post. You see who wrote it. You see the comment Allen wrote in your voice. And you see the time it will go out. Next to each one is a link that takes it out of the batch.
Pull a comment and it never posts. Leave the email alone and the day runs just like you read it. That last part matters, so we will say it plainly: Allen does not wait for you to say yes. It waits for you to say no. If you would rather say yes to each one yourself, leave Autopilot off and post from your Today page instead.
What happens when you pull one

04 · The bot question, answered
Is Allen a bot?
Not the kind you mean. Allen drafts, you decide. Every morning you get the day's plan: each post, each comment, and the time each one goes out. You see all of it before LinkedIn does. No browser bot. Nothing pretending to be you. 3, 5 or 10 comments a day, in your words, minutes apart. That is not a tool blasting connect requests until an account gets flagged.
Does this break LinkedIn's rules?
Facts, not a slogan. Allen touches LinkedIn one way only: LinkedIn's own key, called w_member_social, handed over on LinkedIn's own page. No password. No browser pretending to be you. Nothing taken through your account. Now the part most pages skip. LinkedIn makes the rules, and LinkedIn can change them whenever it likes. So we will not tell you what LinkedIn thinks of any tool, ours included. We will tell you what Allen does, and you can make the call. Section 7 of our Terms says the same.
Could my account get shut down?
We will not promise you it cannot. Nobody can, and anyone who does is gambling with your account instead of their own. So here is what we do instead. Allen stays small and slow. A few comments a day, in your words, on fresh posts from people in your world, minutes apart. That is what LinkedIn is for. Want none of it running on its own? Leave Autopilot off and post from your Today page. Everything else works the same.
Do you take posts from LinkedIn?
Not through your account. Never your login, never your cookies. The posts come from other companies that gather them, and our Terms say so out loud. The only thing Allen does with your account is post the comments you already read.
Will the comments sound like a robot?
That is the thing we worry about most. Allen learns from comments you wrote, rules you set, and every edit you make. Then it checks its own work. Opens with "Great post!"? Sneaks in a hashtag? Makes up a number? Thrown out, written again. Still does not sound like you? Pull it from the email. It never goes out.
How do I stop it?
Whenever you want, whichever way is easiest. Pull one comment from the email. Pause Autopilot. Turn it off for good. Or disconnect LinkedIn in Settings, which stops everything right then. You can also take Allen's key back on LinkedIn's own page.
Still not sure? Read the Terms and the Privacy Policy, or just ask us. We would rather answer than have you guess.
Set it once.
Let Allen work..
Tell Allen who you want as customers and turn on Autopilot. Every day it finds them, comments in your voice, and hands you a DM for everyone who replies.
