This eliminates manual clicking while maintaining LinkedIn's compliance standards.\n\n### Setup steps\n1. Install community node: `n8n-nodes-connectsafely.ai` (Settings > Community Nodes, then restart n8n)\n2. Prepare Google Sheet with columns: LinkedIn Url, Status, row_number\n3. Connect Google Sheets credentials and select your document\n4. Add ConnectSafely.ai API credentials from dashboard (Settings > API Keys)\n5. Map Profile ID to `{{ $json['LinkedIn Url'] }}`\n6. Configure status tracking to mark processed rows as \"done\"\n\n### Customization\n- Add delay nodes for large batches (500+ profiles)\n- Implement error handling for failed attempts\n- Extend to CRM integration or connection requests\n- Add analytics tracking for follow-back monitoring\n"
