How Gojiberry protects your account automatically
1. Recommended Activity Limits
These ranges reflect widely observed safe practices across thousands of accounts.
🔗 Connection Requests
Account Status | Daily Limit | Weekly Limit |
New / inactive | 5–10 | 40–50 |
Normal usage | 10–20 | 80–100 |
Mature / strong profile (+ sales navigator) | 25-30 | 150-200 |
Tip: Increase gradually (warm-up phase).
💬 Messages (DMs + follow-ups)
10–20 new messages/day
Up to ~120–150 total messages/week
Warm outreach (intent-based) is drastically safer than cold templates.
👀 Other Actions (views, likes, follows)
Keep total daily activity under:
150–200 actions/day
2. Behaviors LinkedIn Flags
Avoid the following patterns:
Sending too many invitations too quickly
Large day-to-day spikes (e.g., 10 → 150 invites)
Very low acceptance rate (<20%)
More than 500 pending invitations
Repetitive timing (e.g., every 2 minutes)
Messaging immediately after viewing a profile
Rapid jumps in IP/location
Copy-paste cold templates with no context
3. Best Practices for Staying Safe
Follow these guidelines:
Warm up your account slowly (5–10 invites/day at first)
Aim for a 35–40%+ acceptance rate
Use intent-based outreach for safer engagement
Vary the timing of your actions (human-like behavior)
Clear old pending invitations regularly
Keep your messaging short, personal, and contextual
Avoid sending actions in big bursts
4. What Happens if LinkedIn Flags You?
LinkedIn typically escalates in stages:
Soft warning (unusual activity)
Temporary limitation on invites/messages
ID verification request
Long-term restriction (very rare unless abusive behavior continues)
Accounts following the limits above almost never reach steps 2–4.
5. How Gojiberry Helps Protect Your Account
Gojiberry is designed with “safety by default.”
Built-in protections:
Intent-first outreach: higher acceptance & lower risk
Human-paced delivery engine (randomized timing)
Automatic throttling if volumes exceed safe ranges
Warm-up mode for new accounts
Intelligent sequencing (no repetitive patterns)
Quality scoring to prioritize safe interactions
Our goal:
Your outreach should look timely, relevant, and human, not automated.
6. Quick Safety Checklist
Before running campaigns, ensure:
Your pending invitations < 400
Your acceptance rate > 30%
You are not sending more than 10–20 invites/day
Your messages are contextual and signal-based
You spread actions across the day
Your LinkedIn account is active manually as well
