Connect an AI agent to LinkedIn.
xhuman is an opportunity agent that brings your LinkedIn network into the same place as your mail, calendar and CRM. There are two ways in and neither contains the other: upload the Connections export LinkedIn gives you, free, and everyone lands in your network with their company and job title; or connect live sync on any paid plan to keep connections current, read your DMs and reply with one approved click each. xhuman acts on LinkedIn only with your explicit approval and never posts, comments or edits your profile.
01What the agent does in LinkedIn
- Upload your export — Free · no login.
Everyone you're connected to, with their company and job title — the sync feed can't read those. Can't send or read messages.
- Connect live sync — Paid plan.
Read and reply to DMs, send connection requests in campaigns you launch, and stay current as you connect with people. Can't read company or job title.
- Reads your DMs and drafts the reply.
Ask whether anyone messaged you on LinkedIn and it lists the chats, unread first, reads the thread and drafts a reply in your voice into a card. One chat, one message, one approval — there is no auto-send and no bulk sending from chat.
- Reaches out only in campaigns you launch.
Connection requests and messages go out only inside an outreach campaign you start yourself, under strict daily limits, and stop the moment someone replies.
- Cross-references your network before it writes.
A LinkedIn contact who is also in your mail or meetings is one person to xhuman, so a draft can draw on your notes, how you know them and what you last wrote to each other.
- Searches and enriches on Pro.
Importing your LinkedIn connections is free. Pro is what makes them searchable — it adds them to your network searches and fills in everyone's work history and education.
02Connect LinkedIn in 5 steps
- Open Settings → Other connectors.
LinkedIn is listed under Social. Click Connect and a short dialog opens with two doors, side by side.
- Door one: upload your export (free · no login).
In LinkedIn, go to Settings & Privacy → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data, request Connections, and download the file LinkedIn emails you. Drop it into the dialog. Everyone in it lands in your network with company and job title.
- Door two: connect live sync (paid plan).
Read the disclosure — what it reads: your connections and your messages; what it sends: only what you approve — and tick the box that says you understand and want to sync your LinkedIn connections and messages.
- Sign in on the sync provider's form.
You'll sign in on the sync provider's form — not LinkedIn's, and not ours. Your password goes to that provider; xhuman never sees or stores it.
- Back in xhuman, the row reads Connected.
Connections and DMs sync in and stay current as you connect with people. They fill in different things, so most people do both — but either one on its own is a complete setup.

Upload your export is free · no login, on every plan. Connect live sync needs a paid plan — any paid plan. Importing your LinkedIn connections is free. Pro is what makes them searchable — it adds them to your network searches and fills in everyone's work history and education.
It never
- Posts, comments or edits your profile.
- Sends a message or connection request you did not approve — replies are one click each, and campaign outreach runs only in campaigns you launch, under strict daily limits.
- Treats the free upload as second-best: it is the only source of company and job title, and live sync never gets them.

Automated access is against LinkedIn's User Agreement and carries a small risk of account restriction; the dialog says so before you accept. Disconnecting keeps the contacts and conversations already imported.

Only with your approval. A reply is drafted into a card and leaves when you click Send — one chat, one message, one approval. Connection requests and messages in bulk happen only inside an outreach campaign you launch, under strict daily limits. It never posts, comments or edits your profile.
Is this allowed by LinkedIn?

Where do I sign in — on LinkedIn?
No. You'll sign in on the sync provider's form — not LinkedIn's, and not ours. Your password goes to that provider; xhuman never sees or stores it.
How do I disconnect?
Settings → Other connectors → the LinkedIn row's menu → Disconnect. Syncing stops on the spot. The contacts and conversations already imported stay in your network and are yours to manage under Settings → Data.
