About The Project

Linkedin responder allows you to have an automatic answering machine for your received messages.

It is different from the tool offered by LinkedIn Premium, because it is completely customizable and not only an answering machine when you are on leave.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

This is an example of how to list things you need to use the software and how to install them.

1. Installing dependencies

  npm install

2. Rename .env.example to .env
3. Put your email and password
4. Optional : SIGNATURE allows you to add a message at the end

Answers

Fill in the answers.json file with the answers you want. This is a list with a priority order, put the highest as high as possible.

• matchs: Allows you to detect keywords.
• IsFirstMessage: Lets you know if this is his first message
• response: Put your answer here
  • To jump on the line use \n because the json does not allow the multiline
  • To add the name of the person use {name}
  • The person's first name use {firstname}
  • And the lastname use {lastname}

Usage

To start the responder run the command

  npm run start

The recommended way is to use pm2

  npm install pm2@latest -g

  pm2 start linkedin-responder.js --name linkedin-responder

  pm2 save

Problems

• If you have a Captcha at the opening of LinkedIn, launch in headless mode with

 npm run dev

and once connected you can relaunch normal way.

If you do not have a graphical interface, connect you to your machine and copy the cookies.json file to the server.

• If you have an error at launch (Error: Failed to launch the browser process!)

Replace

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
       headless: !!!process.env.HEADLESS,
       defaultViewport: {
           width: 1000,
           height: 720
       }
});

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
       headless: !!!process.env.HEADLESS,
       defaultViewport: {
           width: 1000,
           height: 720
       },
       args: ['--no-sandbox']
});
