Automate LinkedIn With AI Agent Skills

Linked-APIMay 2026

Two LinkedIn skills for AI agents: general-purpose automation and a managed lead pipeline.

LinkedIn AutomationLead Pipeline

Install Command

Run this command to deploy the blueprint to your environment.

What problem does this solve?

Gives your AI agent the ability to run LinkedIn operations end-to-end. One skill handles general automation (searching, messaging, managing connections, posting), while the other runs a managed lead pipeline with qualification and scheduled invites. Together they let agents execute LinkedIn workflows without manual tool-switching or state management.

How does it work?

Once set up with Node 20+, Linked API tokens, and linkedin-cli, the skills are available to your agent. For general work, pass a command (fetch profiles, send messages, search people/companies, manage connections, create posts, run custom workflows). For lead pipeline work, import leads from a search, your agent qualifies them against your ICP, the skill stores them in a local database, then a background scheduler sends invites on a per-account schedule and cleans up stale pending requests. Output: LinkedIn operations executed via real browser, results in JSON.

Included Skill Groups

What's the biggest win?

LinkedIn operations run through your agent without leaving your workflow, and a lead pipeline scales invitation pace across multiple accounts on an automatic schedule.

What should I know technically?

Requires Node.js ≥ 20 because the skills use modern async patterns and the better-sqlite3 module. Requires @linkedapi/linkedin-cli globally installed; it handles LinkedIn interaction via a real cloud browser. Linked API tokens (available at app.linkedapi.io) authenticate both the CLI and the skill. For linkedin-growth, npm install --omit=dev pulls in production dependencies (better-sqlite3, native module build required).

What should I watch out for?

linkedin-cli requires Node.js ≥ 20 and Linked API tokens (requires account at app.linkedapi.io). linkedin-growth requires SQLite and local database setup; all leads and state are local only. Real browser operations (via linkedin-cli) take 30 seconds to several minutes per action. LinkedIn's own rate limits and account restrictions apply. Sales Navigator search support requires an active Sales Navigator subscription.

Key Features

General LinkedIn Automation

Fetch profiles, search people and companies, send messages, manage connections, create posts, react, comment, and run custom workflows via CLI.

Lead Pipeline Skill

Two-phase import and scheduled network maintenance. Import leads from a search URL, qualify them via agent judgment against an ICP, then automate connection invites on a schedule.

Multi-Account Support

Register multiple LinkedIn accounts and control per-account invite pace, daily limits, active hours, and pending request cleanup.

Local SQLite Database

All lead state (status, assignment, run history) stored locally in a queryable database. No external services required beyond linkedin-cli.

Background Scheduler

OS-native background task (launchd, systemd, cron, schtasks) that runs the lead pipeline on schedule across account active hours.
