@hargun0360 were you able to only filter out people with "Connect" buttons? People with "Message" buttons or some other kind of button won't be able to take personalized invites..

@hargun0360

@ucalyptus2 Yup, works with "Connect" buttons only. That way we can send those personalized invites! I also filtered for current company employees only.

For some reason, when not adding in the notes, the connection request never goes through

Hey if your not bothered about sending requests with notes then you can just use this altered version of the script I made. Also updated the class names / ids for the current version of the site so that it functions correctly. You might want to increase the delays if your internet speed / hardware is on the lower end (for me it works fine).

I think we can break the script into two independent logical flows -> main script that handles sending connection requests (current) + conditional script that runs in a new tab for users with "Message" or "Follow".

For the second script, I propose writing it with minimal context passing from the last page. As is shared in the StackOverflow answer, this new conditional script will be executed in the newly opened tab and send a message (context passed from config of the main script) or Follow.

If it's not feasible for you, I'll try to write the conditional script over the weekend 🙇🏻

@valerioviale @forkbabu

Any update on the script for handling the "Message" or "Follow" for connection? @thealphadollar

"Message" and "Follow" only shows up if you have already sent a request to that person or if you are already connected with them (im pretty sure).

So right now the script should work fine as it just ignores these buttons.

BTW here is the link for my repo w/ the script. Can't remember if I updated any more since I made the previous comment.

I think it's not true.
I can still able to connect manually by going inside their profile. Where we have a "more" button.
And the link you share getting a 404 error. @leomosley

Oops the repo was private. Should be fixed now.

Yes you are right, don't have a fix right now for the follow or message.

The thing is they could be someone you have already connected or not but you can't tell unless you to their profile and click on the more tab like you said.

You can only send around 100-200 invitation requests a week so its probably quicker to just let it skip the follow/message and you'll reach the limit pretty quickly anyway. 🤷‍♂️
