LinkedIn outreach that runs itself — safely.
HootDM automates connection requests, follow-ups, and reply detection through LinkedIn’s own session — with pacing, jitter, and daily caps built in so your account stays in good standing while you sleep.
No credit card required · Cancel anytime
Built for
Outbound-driven people, not sales-ops departments
Solo SDRs & BDRs
Run a full outbound motion without a sales-ops team backing you up.
B2B SaaS founders
Keep doing your own outbound without it eating your whole week.
Lead-gen agencies
Run outreach for clients on one clean, predictable pricing model.
Recruiters & coaches
Reach candidates or clients directly, on your own terms.
How it works
One sequence. Zero babysitting.
Set your steps once — HootDM paces every action against real LinkedIn limits and updates lead status automatically.
Build a lead list
Search LinkedIn by title & location, pull post likers or commenters, or paste profile URLs directly.
Design your sequence
Optional post like → connection request → message → up to 3 timed follow-ups, with template variants per step.
HootDM runs it, safely
Adaptive gaps, randomized delays, and daily caps spread every action across your schedule window.
Track acceptances & replies
HootDM checks connections and conversations automatically and moves each lead to Connected, Won, or Dead.
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.
What people are saying
What our customers are saying
“I've used tools that got my account restricted within a week. This is the first one where the pacing actually made me feel comfortable leaving it running overnight.”
Rohan K.
Founder, B2B SaaS · example review
“The template variants were the surprise win for us — replies stopped feeling like they were going to a form letter, and I didn't have to write ten versions by hand.”
Meera S.
SDR Team Lead · example review
“Running outreach for multiple clients used to mean multiple spreadsheets of who'd been contacted. Now the funnel view just tells me where each campaign actually stands.”

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.
