LinkedIn DM Automation

Zero autonomously manages your LinkedIn outreach: research profiles, draft personalized messages, wait for your approval, then send with human-like pacing. You stay in control at every step.

How It Works

1
Research
Zero scrapes the LinkedIn profile, extracts context, and matches it to a message template.
2
Draft
A personalized message is drafted and added to the queue as pending.
3
You Approve
You review the draft and reply to approve, edit, or reject.
4
Send & Learn
Zero sends with human-like pacing (60s+ per profile). Response rates are tracked for template improvement.

Approval Commands

Send these commands to Zero in Telegram to manage your message queue.

Autonomy Levels

Each message template has an autonomy level that controls how much Zero acts independently. The default is Level 1 — approve first.

LevelDescriptionWhen to use
0Draft only — you send manuallyNew templates, high-stakes contacts
1 (default)Approve first, then auto-send similarFirst 10 uses of a template
2Auto-send within daily limitsProven templates with 20%+ response rate
3Full autopilotEstablished relationships only

Change a template's autonomy level with: set level [template name] [0-3]

Safety & Compliance

Zero stops immediately and alerts you if:

  • • CAPTCHA or "Verify you're human" appears
  • • "Unusual activity" warning from LinkedIn
  • • Phone/email verification prompt
  • • Rate limit message
  • • 3 or more failed send attempts in a row

Human-like pacing: 60+ seconds per profile, 2–6 second delays between actions. All sends are logged with timestamps. Only publicly visible profile data is used.
