Also, looks like local storage is not used at all. My apologies if I'm mistaken.

If I reload the page and run this again, linkedin repeats invites and this script sends invites to the repeated ones as well. Right now, I'm not seeing any repeats in the same session (not sure if linkedin has stopped it or I'm not taking note of people properly)

Can you suggest how to use localstorage to preserve the inviterlist properly? Can you update the script with the same?

I am at 23k in connections. @dheerajbhaskar, when I run your script I get the 400 error below. As a result, my connection request never passes through to the server. I went from being able to get 500-1000 new connections per day to 20-50?

Are other users experiencing this?

Hey Thank you very much! its an amazing script! But one thing is it some how possible to filter after location?
or to change the script that i search from persons from New York City for example and then to add all people there?
Because like this i get only people from the area I'm currently living in...

@dheerajbhaskar @Tumas2 @quangnhut123 Thanks for your input. That is currently not really maintained by me in any way, but I'll try to add your changes and fix "missed" localstorage logic.

Working on fixing a few bugs that have come up within the past week. Trying to add the userRole back to the function (more helpful in my opinion). Code is as follows:

var userRole = [
"CEO",
"CIO"
];

var inviter = {} || inviter;

inviter.className = 'button-secondary-small';

inviter.refresh = function () {

// 

    if (connectBtns == null) {var connectBtns = inviter.initiate();}
    
    return connectBtns;
};
inviter.invite = function () {
    var connectBtns = inviter.initiate();
    var buttonLength = connectBtns.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < buttonLength; i++) {
        if (connectBtns != null && connectBtns[i] != null) {inviter.handleRepeat(connectBtns[i]);}
            //if there is a connect button and there is at least one that has not been pushed, repeat
        if (i == buttonLength - 1) {
            console.log("done: " + i);
            inviter.refresh();
        }
    }

};


inviter.handleRepeat = function(button)

    var nameValue = button.children[1].textContent

	function hasRole(role){
	for(var i = 0; i < role.length; i++) {
		// cannot read children of undefined
		var position = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[1].children[1].children[0].children[3].textContent;
		var formatedPosition = position.replace(/^\s\s*/, '').replace(/\s\s*$/, '');
		var hasRole = formatedPosition.indexOf(role[i]) == -1 ? false : true;
		console.log('Has role: ' + role[i] + ' -> ' + hasRole);

			return hasRole;
					}
				}

	}

        var cancel = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[0];

    }
    else {
        console.log("added");
        inviter.userList.push(name);
        button.click();
    }
};



inviter.arrayContains = function(item)

    inviter.usersJson = JSON.stringify(inviter.userList);
    localStorage.setItem('inviterList', inviter.usersJson);

When I try executing this, I get the following error:

VM288:49 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'children' of undefined
    at hasRole (<anonymous>:49:71)
    at Object.inviter.handleRepeat (<anonymous>:66:11)

    at <anonymous>:108:35

Any ideas as to how to fix it?

I wrote this script to automate send connection invites from search result pages.

@000011111111 My script also has resulted in POST prevention as a result of this script (https://www.linkedin.com/voyager/api/growth/normInvitations). In addition, normal connect invitations do not work anymore.

Normal invitations seem to be working now.

Daniel, nice work =)

Nice, work! Loving the script, Daniel. Maybe check out mine here: http://www.turnsourceimaging.com/
Keep up the great work!

@dheerajbhaskar could you please add position CEO PRESIDENT? Thanks!

Simple version

setInterval(() => {
    $('button[data-control-name="invite"]').each((i, el) => el.click())
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
    window.scrollTo(document.body.scrollHeight, 0)
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
}, 5e3)

run it on https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/

@miguelmota It's simple but works like a champ :) Thanks!

@000011111111 not sure what this POST error is, I've been using this once in a while rather successfully. I plan to use this more frequently, will fix this sometime soon

@aero007 please check out jopetersen's post, he seems to have implemented what you're asking for

I have tried the original code by the author and it worked well for me. Then I wanted to make sure that this script adds only the people who have "CEO" word in the profile headline. Then I have tried the solutions mentioned above in the comment and non of them work. So I have modified the original code to archive me goal. ( Add the strings(lowercase) you want to be existed in the headline to the "setOfStrings" variable - line 6 )

	if (i == buttonLength - 1) {
		console.log("done: " + i);
		inviter.refresh();
	}
}

};

inviter.handleRepeat = function(button)
{

@miguelmota your script is amazing in the numbers but can you make one with a selection of keywords ?
obrigado

Looks like LinkedIn changed something over the last couple of weeks and the scripts on this page, except the one from @miguelmota, do not seem to work anymore and that one doesn't let you select keywords. I hope that someone who knows this script well can fix this. Thanks, guys!
