Everything you need
Outreach, sourcing, and safety in one place
Four ways to source leads
LinkedIn search filters, post likers, post commenters, or a pasted list of profile URLs — build a list in minutes.
Smart, predefined sequences
A proven step order — warm-up like, connect, message, follow-ups — with automatic accept & reply detection.
Safety-first pacing
Randomized jitter, adaptive per-type gaps, and daily caps — tuned to look and feel human, not scripted.
Message variants
Add multiple templates per step and let HootDM rotate them at random — no two prospects get the exact same line.
Synced connections & reply detection
Your real LinkedIn connections list stays in sync, and replies are detected automatically — no manual re-checking.
Clear analytics
Connection funnel and daily activity, so you always know what's working and where leads are dropping off.
Why it’s different
Built to protect your account, not just hit a number
Most outreach tools optimize for volume. HootDM optimizes for a LinkedIn account that’s still standing in six months — because a restricted account is worth zero pipeline.
- Runs through your real session — the extension relays actions through your own logged-in browser, not a headless bot.
- Adaptive daily caps spread your quota evenly across the day instead of firing in bursts.
- Randomized jitter on every gap and delay so activity never lands on a suspiciously exact interval.
- One active campaign at a time per account, by design — no stacking sequences that spike your activity.
Today’s pacing
Try before you commit
See your leads before you commit
Your 7-day free trial isn’t a demo video — it’s the real product. Build an actual lead list from LinkedIn search, post engagement, or profile URLs before you ever enter a card number.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this safe for my LinkedIn account?
HootDM runs through your own logged-in session via a lightweight Chrome extension, and paces every action with adaptive gaps, randomized delays, and daily caps — the same safeguards described above.
Do I need to keep Chrome open for it to run?
Yes — HootDM runs through your own browser session rather than a separate cloud browser, so Chrome needs to be open with LinkedIn logged in. It’s a deliberate trade-off: no isolated cloud session to manage, but the extension needs your browser running to act.
Do I need to install anything complicated?
Just the HootDM Chrome extension and a normal LinkedIn login — no separate browser profile or proxy setup required.
What happens if a lead doesn't accept my connection request?
HootDM keeps checking automatically, and marks the lead as closed after your configured timeout — so your list always reflects reality, not guesswork.
Can I write my own message templates?
Yes — build unlimited templates per step, and on the Pro plan add multiple variants per step that HootDM rotates automatically.
