Four steps, in the order you'd do them by hand.
Click through a campaign. Everything here is fictional and nothing touches LinkedIn.
Set the target audience
Build a People search in LinkedIn with the filters you want, paste its URL, and add words a headline must or must not contain. Connect Hound only queues people who pass.
Review matches
Connect Hound reads the search one page at a time and lists who passed your filters, with the headline and location it saw. Skip anyone you don't want before a request goes out.

Send a connection request
Each request opens the person's profile, presses Connect, and adds your note built from their first name and company. Then it waits a random few minutes before the next one.
Move the introduction into the queue
Connect Hound checks your connections list for accepted requests. When one lands, the introduction you wrote is scheduled after the delay you chose. If the person messages you first, it stops and leaves the thread to you.

Set up → Find → Connect → Follow up
You decide the who, the what, and the pace. Connect Hound does the clicking, one small step every few minutes, in the browser on your desk.
Set up
Install the extension in Chrome, Edge, or Brave. Add your name, company, and booking link. It uses the LinkedIn session already signed in to that browser; it never asks for your password.
Find
Paste a LinkedIn people-search URL and set include and exclude words. Connect Hound walks the search page by page and queues the people who match.
Connect
It sends connection requests from each profile, with or without your note, inside your daily and weekly caps and only during the hours you set.
Follow up
When a request is accepted, your introduction goes out after the delay you chose. One optional follow-up can go later if there's still no reply.
What it needs
- A Chromium desktop browser: Chrome, Edge, or Brave
- Your computer on and that browser open; nothing runs in the cloud
- LinkedIn signed in, in that browser profile
- One LinkedIn account per browser profile
- A pinned worker tab it uses on linkedin.com
- Dry-run mode to watch before anything is sent
Only the repeated parts. Never the judgment.
Find people who fit your target.
Start from a LinkedIn people search you built yourself, so every filter LinkedIn offers is available. Add words a headline must or must not contain, and paste individual profile URLs for one-offs.
- Page by page. Reads more of the search only when the queue runs low.

Handle repeated connection-request steps.
Open profile, press Connect, add the note, send, wait. Connect Hound repeats that for you with random gaps and caps you set, and pauses outside your working hours.
- Notes from a template with first name, company, and headline, and a fallback when LinkedIn won't allow a note.
- Stops at LinkedIn's weekly limit message and resumes the next week.
Send an introduction after acceptance.
It checks your connections list on a schedule, matches new connections to the people it invited, confirms the profile is now a first-degree connection, and sends the introduction you wrote after your chosen delay.
- Reply-aware. If they messaged you first, they're marked Replied and left to you.
- Never twice. An existing message from you in the thread stops a second intro.
- Connections checkedevery 45 minutes while running
- 2 new acceptances matchedMaya R., Aisha L.

Manage follow-ups and campaign status.
Every person, status, timestamp, and reason in one table. Re-queue, skip, or export to CSV. Turn on a single follow-up that goes out days later only if there's still no reply. Pause everything with one click.
- Dry run highlights what it would press without pressing it.
- Activity log explains every skip and every pause.
Relevant people. Useful conversations.
Introduce an opportunity to candidates whose current title and location actually fit, without spending the morning on the same five clicks.

One plan. Priced per LinkedIn account.
Billed monthly

- Connection requests with templated notes, paced by your caps and hours
- Introduction sent after acceptance, with a delay you choose
- One optional follow-up when there's no reply
- Stops when the person replies first

Priced per connected LinkedIn account. No per-message charges. LinkedIn applies its own limits and Connect Hound does not promise unlimited actions. Any LinkedIn subscription a workflow needs is bought from LinkedIn separately. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues to the end of the paid term.
Questions, answered plainly.
Is this automation? Is it allowed on LinkedIn?
Yes, it is automation. LinkedIn's prohibited software policy bars unauthorized tools that automate connections and messages, and LinkedIn may warn, restrict, or close accounts it believes are using them. Connect Hound's caps and random gaps keep volume low, but rate controls do not make automation approved or risk-free. Connect Hound is independent and is not endorsed by LinkedIn. Decide with that in mind, start in dry run, and don't run it on an account you can't afford to lose.
What happens after someone accepts my request?
Connect Hound checks your connections list every 45 minutes while running. When it finds someone it invited, it waits the delay you set (90 minutes by default), opens the profile, confirms you're now connected, and sends your introduction. If the person already sent you a message, it marks them Replied and sends nothing. One optional follow-up can go out days later if there's still no reply.
Which LinkedIn accounts does it work with?
Any LinkedIn account signed in to the browser profile where the extension is installed: free, Premium, or Sales Navigator subscriptions. It works on regular linkedin.com pages, not the Sales Navigator interface. Free accounts get a small number of personalised notes per month from LinkedIn; Connect Hound can fall back to a plain request when a note isn't available. Any LinkedIn subscription you want for a workflow is purchased from LinkedIn separately.
What are the browser and computer requirements?
A Chromium-based desktop browser: Chrome, Edge, or Brave. Your computer must be on and the browser open; the extension runs locally in a pinned worker tab and nothing runs in the cloud. One LinkedIn account per browser profile. There is no mobile version.
Can I edit messages and pause the campaign?
Yes. The note, introduction, and follow-up are templates you write and preview against a real person in your queue. Changes apply to the next message sent. Pause stops everything immediately; dry run lets it read and queue without clicking Connect or Send. You can skip, re-queue, or delete any person at any time.
How does pricing work?
One plan, priced per connected LinkedIn account: $39 per account per month billed monthly, or $29 per account per month billed annually as $348, which saves $120 a year. There are no per-message charges.
What happens when the free trial ends?
The trial lasts 14 days, needs no credit card, and includes the plan's features. Nothing is charged automatically when it ends. You're asked to choose monthly or annual billing; until you do, paid features stop.
It's one trial per person: variations of the same address (dots, plus-tags, capitals) count as the same person, temporary email services are refused, and an address or network that already had a trial starts billing on day one instead.
How do I cancel?
Cancelling stops future renewals. Your access continues to the end of the month or year you already paid for. Annual plans aren't prorated or refunded for unused months. Uninstalling the extension removes all of its data from your browser.
Does it stop when someone replies?
Yes, for the people it manages. Before sending an introduction or follow-up it reads the message thread; if there's a message from the other person, it stops and marks them Replied so you can answer personally.
Where is my data?
In your browser. Settings, templates, and prospect records live in Chrome's local extension storage on your computer. The only thing the extension sends anywhere is your licence key, to connecthound.com about once a day, to confirm the subscription is active. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
