Q: Hello, there are a few things bothering me with Breakcold, mostly LinkedIn-wise: 1) The very fact that ...
Breakcold limits the number of refreshes means that you are trying to avoid a ban from LinkedIn?! That should be more explicit on the knowledge base.
2) Breakcold works thanks to a Chrome Extension, that means that, in order to refresh, my browser has to be open all the time. This isn't too clear in the knowledge base.

1°) Correct, it's to protect your LinkedIn account, it is explained here already but I'll make it more explicit: https://breakcold.crisp.help/en/article/qa-common-asked-questions-s0nahj/ - we're not trying to avoid a ban, we avoid you a ban
2°) NOT TRUE, you don't need to have it open at any time, just to install it. You can have your PC shut off and it will continue to work without problems. It doesn't work thanks to the chrome extension, it's just part of our onboarding process so people use it from LinkedIn too to add/update leads. To avoid confusion in the future, we'll disconnect the fact that installing the extension is mandatory. I'll make it more clear in the knowledge base.
GretisThanks for confirming point 1.
As per point 2, how do you refresh the LinkedIn posts then? LinkedIn is known for not having an open API, are you using scrapers on your own servers? That's not too clear for me.
Thanks for your clarification on point 1.
As per point 2, how does the update work then? Is it done by bots scraping my LI profile?
I've been instructed to not share further on this for competitive reasons unfortunately, if you have very specific questions, I might be able to answer it in our live chat

As per your number 2) comment, has this been implemented "disconnect the fact that installing of the extension is mandatory". Thank you!
