Q: Aren't automation apps like this a violation of LinkedIn's usage policy?
I see one review that a user's LI account was suspended right after he loaded Closely because an automation app was detected.

May 15, 2024A: All automation apps for Linkedin are unofficial and getting to start using one is a risk that far outweighs the vast benefits of lead generation through Linkedin.
We are closely [ :) ] monitoring the performance of all connected accounts and act swiftly to match any potential Linkedin algorithm changes that may negatively impact the experience of our users.
Closely has thousands of users and it's quite inevitable that some may unfortunately get an experience of a sudden Linkedin tantrum.
As with any SaaS tool out there, the percentage of users who leave glaring reviews after getting an awesome experience is far less than those who get angry and disappointed should things go south. That's understandable.
Hope you understand it too :)
