Hey , has anyone tried automating some process of LinkedIn like sending connection request, sending messages or liking any post using selenium or something like selenium. If yes what are the things I should do that LinkedIn don't block me lol
Hey everyone!
I own a home cleaning business and I’m exploring ways to automate lead generation on LinkedIn to grow my client base in my local area. My main goal is to connect with busy professionals, realtors, property managers, and other potential customers who might need regular cleaning services or one-time deep cleans.
Id like to get into automation career-wise. Whether in a company or freelancing. Over past few months I’ve been studying, I’ve done a few courses about business processes, most of the available free lessons at make academy, airtable, zapier. I’ve done some basic workflows, I feel confident I would be able to start working with real businesses pretty quick. I just don’t know where to start, ideally I’d like to get some internship to get experience and then look for full time position or start freelancing. I feel like the biggest challenge now is how to take all this knowledge and actually use it in real life examples. Do you have any recommendations? Maybe some communities? I have so many questions like how do you convince clients to pay for platforms like make or how do you deal with their data and different account while integrating the tools. I’d be willing to pay for the access to a place where I could find all of this information. I don’t know what sources are ok, I’m tired of all those YouTube automation agency bros selling their courses
As someone who is just starting out in IT, I’ve become really interested in the concept of workflow automation after hearing others discuss it. Currently, I’m learning C to gain a foundational understanding of how programming languages operate, and I plan to explore Python for automation in more depth. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for materials or resources that could help me learn more about workflow automation.
Thank you!
I love the platform but I keep feeding it money so I looked around.
any choices I should consider that are good but cheaper?
My dad asked me to find a solution for a staffing issue at our hotel.
We used to have someone managing phone calls and WhatsApp for all reservations, but he quit about a month ago, and we haven’t been able to find anyone to replace him.
While researching alternatives, I came across a website called Virtual Scale that offers "Virtual Employees" who seem to do exactly what we need. Before signing up, I wanted to check if anyone here has experience with their services. Are they reliable, and would you recommend them?
I need a creative way to monetize 1000+ servers (Excluding crypto mining, bandwidth sharing, selling them as host). Any suggestions for a straightforward way to monetize? No service selling to any other parties.
Is there an option to automate the following scenario:
I need to submit 300 web forms for 300 different authorities; each authority requests different fields that I will cover in a list of all the scenarios.
Is it possible to automate it?
I need to report abusive incidents to many authorities, and all of them forward us to a ticket inside their websites. Instead of doing it manually, I would like to automate it with Excel or any other option.
I want to share an idea about the IMPACT Engine, which is part of the TRRUE Govern Framework.
This tool helps improve how we manage Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data by making it more accurate and transparent.
It works with two types of metrics: Verified Metrics and Unverified Metrics. Verified Metrics are checked and approved through a secure process using multi-signature approvals and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), with plans to add AI for better accuracy in the future.
Unverified Metrics let organizations share their ESG goals or early data, which can later be verified.
By using blockchain technology, the IMPACT Engine ensures that all data is secure and publicly available. This setup helps companies, institutions, auditors, and investors have more reliable information for assessing risks and making decisions about ESG practices.
It aims to create a clearer and more trustworthy way to handle ESG data.

I dont use proxies but i try best to act as a real user with everything randomly, like cliking on a profile, sleep, scrolling and all.
What am i doing wrong, I suspect these would be a problem:
I appreciate your ideas please, Thanks!
I built an AI POWERED System which basically sends personalized proposals after a discovery call with high ticket clientèle helping with closing clients more effectively...
Here's what it does :
After the discovery call with the client, you enter short 2-3 line descriptions of a few questions asked by "Typeform".
Typeform provides this information over to Al POWERED Agents which makes this information into a long detailed description of the problem clients face & solution offered by you.
The information provided by the Al Agents is then showcased in a neat & clean "PandaDoc", allowing the client to understand a detailed process of the solution to their problem.
This primarily focuses on helping the clients understand their problems & your solutions as it gets personalised.
Would really love advice on how I can convert this automation in a dashboard to offer my clients, it would be best if there a FREE & no- code alternative to the making of this.
*I'd love to partner up with someone who knows this way around to make it into a well performing SaaS.
Hi, I dont have anything experience when it comes to code or anything programming related, but automation has always interested me and I'd like to at least get to know the basics, maybe make some programmes of my own for simple tasks.
What would you suggest for someone like me who wants to learn? Are there any good books or something to read/guides online with lots of information on how to get started?
All advice is appreciated!
Hi.
I have several PDF files of scientific papers, without the right name for the article, as you can see in the image.
How can i automate changing every PDF name, according to the title?
For example,
I have this file "1_5035224924013200518.pdf." and it would be incredible if i could convert it to the title of the paper, the journal and the year.
So something like: "A Guide to the Use of Vasopressors and Inotropes for Patients in Shock. Journal Intensive Care Medicine. 2024."
Is it possible?
Thank you in advance for any reply.

Hello everyone!
I start an open-source project a while ago named KeyTik. I start it for my personal use at first then decided to develop it further. The goal is to make an all-in-one automation tool. With this, you can do auto clicker, screen click, multiple files opener, keyboard remapper with profiles, multiple files opener and more in a single app. This work using python to create AutoHotkey script based on input then use AutoHotkey to run or execute the created script.
The automation tool it provided is also very customizable. You can change the interval, key, coordinate and more to your preferences. There are also pointer on it so you can easily customize it without any issue.
The use of AutoHotkey, make it able to do almost all automation tool. And the user friendly GUI make it simple and easy to use. Not only that, because it work with creating AutoHotkey script, make it not only simple and easy to use, but also lightweight (85.9 MB v1.3).
Another useful ability it has is the feature to assign automation tool on specific keyboard or mouce. This can work with the help of AutoHotkey Interception by oblitum. It use device ID such as VID & PID or handle to make it work.
Feel free to check it out in the following platform:
If you think this is interesting and useful, consider supporting it with giving KeyTik star at GitHub repository or share it so the world can know KeyTik better. Thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate it!

How Is KeyTik Work
If you are curious how KeyTik work you can check this section:
For the automation tool executor, KeyTik use AutoHotkey. AutoHotkey is a powerful scripting language to do this task. Using AutoHotkey, allow keytik to do almost all automation task while still make it lightweight. For example, one AutoHotkey script size usually below 1MB and if i make the automation tool without AutoHotkey such as using python library then the size could be more than that. Another reason i use AutoHotkey is because how it work. Because it work in a single file and have different file for each script, allow KeyTik to assign feature to it such as run on startup or multiple profile. To be more simple, I use python for the functionality (create, edit, GUI, run, exit, store, delete, run on startup and more) and use AutoHotkey as executor for each profile. So it's basically an app to create AutoHotkey script based on user input and assign functionality to it. You can see the created script on (KeyTik_internal\data\active). For example, suppose your input is like this:
Example 1 (Without Shortcut):
Then the created script result would look like this:
; default
^!p::ExitApp
w::Up
a::Left
s::Down
d::Right
Example 2 (With Shortcut):
Then the created script result would look like this:
; default
^!p::ExitApp
toggle := false
~q & e::
{
global toggle
toggle := !toggle
}
#HotIf toggle
w::Up
a::Left
s::Down
#HotIf
This feature work similar to [Remapper And Automation Tool] section with taking input from user then create AutoHotkey script from it. The difference is, KeyTik use help from AutoHotkey wrapper named [AutoHotkey Interception by evilC(https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception) to be able to assign script ot profile on specific device. AutoHotkey Interception work using Interception driver by oblitum so to be able to make it work you need to install Interception driver first. For how to do it, visit AutoHotkey Interception, Install the Intereception driver.
To use this feature, you just need to select your device then click on "Select" Button, it will automatically take the device type, VID and PID/Handle then pass it to "Device ID" entry. After that, you can freely add your script or keyboard remap and finish it, then it's done. After setting up your device id and remap or script, you have a profile that work on specific device. If you are unsure which one is your device ID, you can use AutoHotkey Interception built in monitor with clicking "Open AHI Monitor To Test Device" button and it will automatically open monitor.ahk.
For more simple explanation, to assign your remap or script to specific device, you just need to select your device in the "Select Device" button.
Here is the example, suppose your input is like this:
Then the created script result would look like this:
; default
^!p::ExitApp
#SingleInstance force
Persistent
#include AutoHotkey Interception\Lib\AutoHotInterception.ahk
AHI := AutoHotInterception()
id1 := AHI.GetDeviceIdFromHandle(false, "ACPI\VEN_HPQ&DEV_8001")
cm1 := AHI.CreateContextManager(id1)
#HotIf cm1.IsActive
toggle := false
~q & e::
{
global toggle
toggle := !toggle
}
#HotIf toggle
w::Up
a::Left
s::Down
#HotIf
#HotIf
Yes, KeyTik is safe to use. I have not added any malicious code, and since KeyTik is open-source, you can check the code yourself. If you still have doubts, I encourage you to scan it using VirusTotal. VirusTotal is a well-known free online service that analyzes files and URLs for viruses, malware, and other malicious content by scanning them with a wide range of antivirus engines and security tools. I scan every new version before release to ensure its safety.
To put it simply, I do not intend to add any malware or collect your personal data without your permission. My goal is to build trust with you, so you can use KeyTik with confidence. If you encounter any Windows warning such as untrusted author or false positives, don't hesitate to tell us so we can request warning removal to Windows. You can do this with submitting report on KeyTik Issues page or using issue template Windows Warning Report. Thank you, we really appreciate your support!
In each release (starting from version 1.2), I provide two download versions:
The advantage of the Source Code Version is that you can review the entire code and compile it yourself, ensuring there’s nothing suspicious. This is especially useful because once a program is compiled into an executable, it’s harder to review the raw code.
Some antivirus programs may flag the normal compiled version as malware. This is because of how PyInstaller packages the code into an executable. Even though the code is clean and free from malware, PyInstaller's packaging process can trigger false positives in certain antivirus engines.
For example, when I scan KeyTik v1.3 (source code version) using VirusTotal, it passes without any issues. However, the normal compiled version can be flagged as malware due to the way PyInstaller works.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip:
If you're still concerned, you can download the source code version, build it yourself, and scan it again with VirusTotal. You'll likely see the same result — the executable built with PyInstaller will be flagged as malware, but it’s a false positive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scan Results
Here’s the VirusTotal scan for KeyTik v1.3 (source code version):
KeyTik v1.3 Virus Total Scan Report
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important:
The normal version may be flagged as malware, but it is a false positive. This is due to how PyInstaller packages the code into an executable. If you are still unsure, feel free to download the source code, build it yourself, and perform a scan — the result should be the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
Your security and trust are my top priorities, and I’m committed to keeping KeyTik safe for all users. If you have any further concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out!
