[TIL] Accepting LinkedIn connection requests in bulk

I’m sure you all know LinkedIn, and after using it for a while there’s a good chance you’ll get a ton of friend requests (is that the right word, “connection” is probably more accurate). Suppose the number of invites hits a threshold where you look at it and don’t even want to hit Accept anymore, maybe because there are so many you’ve gotten lazy, or because hitting Accept that many times makes your hand sore :o. So what do you do now.

The solution is very simple.

Let’s get into it

First you need to go to this link to see all the connection invites https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/invitation-manager/.
Hit F12
Copy and paste this code into the console tab and hit enter

let inviteAcceptButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.invitation-card__action-btn.artdeco-button--secondary');
let acceptDelayTimer = 0;

for (let i = 0; i < inviteAcceptButtons.length; i++){
  setTimeout(() => {
    inviteAcceptButtons[i].click();
  }, acceptDelayTimer);

  acceptDelayTimer += 1000;
}

The result is it automatically clicks Accept every 1 second.

(you can skip this step) After accepting everything, there’s a good chance a bunch of automated messages will pop up. At that point copy this code, paste it in and hit enter again.

let closeChatButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.artdeco-button--tertiary[data-control-name="overlay.close_conversation_window"]');
let closeDelayTimer = 0;

for (let i = 0; i < closeChatButtons.length; i++) {
  setTimeout(() => {
    closeChatButtons[i].click();
  }, closeDelayTimer);

  closeDelayTimer += 1000;
}

The result is it automatically closes the chat windows every 1 second.

I tried it on my own profile, and the result was it accepted everything really quickly 😂😂😂 and no sore hand.
