LinkedIn Boost Connection

Overview

LinkedIn Boost Connection is a serverless, automated tool designed to boost your LinkedIn network. Built on the Serverless Framework, it uses Puppeteer to automate the process of sending connection requests based on specified keywords. The application also creates a cron job in AWS to periodically send out these requests.

Note

Currently Linkedin is detecting the application as a bot and the tool fails. We are waiting on a lambda chromium binary to use the "new" headless chrome feature: Full build and attempt-solution is discussed here:

MonkeySee-AI/chromium#1

This repo works locally without any problems.
