Safety

The limits are the product.

Zevari is built to be the slowest AI in your stack.

Six specialists take a prospect to a qualified reply, and not one of them can send without your approval until it has earned the right. Here is exactly how that is enforced, with the numbers.

Build my AI teamRead the mechanics

  • Trained first, then Autopilot

    While you train a specialist, every message, connection request, comment, and post it drafts is staged for you first. It runs on its own only after you switch it to Autopilot.

  • Human pacing

    Deliberate by design. Actions run inside your working hours, spaced the way a person would space them, never in a burst.

  • Fail closed

    When in doubt, it stops. A ceiling reached, a session in question, a check that cannot complete: the action waits, it does not guess.

  • Your limits

    You set the boundaries. The Safety Warden enforces them, and it will not let a campaign talk it out of them to hit a number.

The mechanics

Six things that are wired in, not switched on.

None of these is a preference you could forget to set. They are how the execution layer is built, and every one of them is visible in the Safety Center while the team works.

  1. 01

    Every write waits for you until Autopilot

    While you train a specialist, every message, connection request, comment and post it drafts waits for your approval: from the review surface, from inside your AI, or from a digest. It sends on its own only after you switch it to Autopilot once it has earned it, and you can switch it back at any time. The Safety Center's limits apply either way.

  2. 02

    Session-based connection. No browser cookies.

    The single biggest reason accounts get restricted is an unfamiliar automation fingerprint on a browser session. Zevari connects through a managed session and never injects a copied cookie into a headless browser, and never stores your password to log in as you.

  3. 03

    Weekly ceilings, enforced, not suggested

    The Safety Warden holds every sender under LinkedIn's tolerance bands for its account type: 100 connection requests a week on Free*, 150 on Premium, 200 on Sales Navigator. These are ceilings in code, not a slider we trust you to set sensibly. That weekly figure covers connection requests sent without a note - see the note below the table for what a free account can send with one.

  4. 04

    A note changes the limit, and LinkedIn sets that one

    The weekly ceiling above covers connection requests sent without a note. LinkedIn allows a free account up to 3 connection requests with a note per month, and gives Premium and Sales Navigator accounts a far larger allowance for requests that carry one. Most outreach uses a note, so a free account is spent after 3 in a month. That monthly limit is LinkedIn's own restriction on the account type, not a ceiling Zevari sets, and it is the reason Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for anyone doing real outbound.

  5. 05

    Daily caps and burst limits

    On top of the weekly ceilings there is a cap on everything the account does in a day, 400 actions on Free, 1,000 on Premium, 2,000 on Sales Navigator, and a burst limit per minute and per hour. Real people do not fire 80 requests in ninety seconds at 3am, so neither does your team.

  6. 06

    Autopilot is earned, and it is per specialist

    Follow-up will not run on autopilot until ten of its messages have gone out with your approval in the last 30 days. ICP Scoring will not sort leads on its own until it has learned from your reviews. You can turn either back to reviews with you at any time.

  7. 07

    Duplicate checks and warm-up state

    It will not message the same person twice by accident, re-request a connection you already sent, or double-comment. New accounts ramp toward their ceilings instead of starting at them, and the team can view, react, and comment before any ask.

The numbers

What the Warden holds you under.

Per LinkedIn account, by the kind of account it is. A new account ramps toward these rather than starting at them.

* The weekly connection-request ceiling covers requests sent without a note. LinkedIn allows a free account up to 3 connection requests with a note per month, and gives Premium and Sales Navigator accounts a far larger allowance for requests that carry one. Most outreach uses a note, so a free account is spent after 3 in a month, which is why Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for anyone doing real outbound. That monthly limit is LinkedIn's own restriction on the account type; the weekly and daily ceilings in this table are the ones Zevari enforces.

What LinkedIn itself publishes about connection limits

In writing

What it will never do.

The cookie tools, the offshore VAs, and the autonomous SDRs each fail on one of these. Zevari is the opposite design on every axis.

  • Inject a browser cookie into a headless session.
  • Send on its own before you have trained it and switched it to Autopilot.
  • Ignore an account's ceilings to hit a number.
  • Store your LinkedIn password to log in as you.
  • Batch a week of requests into one burst to save time.

Questions

The ones buyers ask.

Will this get my LinkedIn account banned?

No. If Zevari is the only tool running outbound on your LinkedIn account, and you use the account lightly yourself while Zevari is working, we guarantee it. Zevari's Safety Center paces every action like a person and counts every action the account takes against its limits: 100 connection requests a week on Free* accounts, 150 on Premium and 200 on Sales Navigator, daily caps, working hours and burst limits. Anything that would cross a limit waits for the window to reset. If another automation tool runs on the same account, or you use it heavily by hand at the same time, those actions fall outside Zevari's count, and we cannot guarantee it. The weekly figure covers connection requests sent without a note: LinkedIn caps requests that carry a note at 3 a month on a free account, and gives Premium and Sales Navigator a far larger allowance, so Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for real outbound (see /safety).

How many connection requests can it send a week?

100 on a Free* account, 150 on Premium, 200 on Sales Navigator. Those are the enforced ceilings, spaced across your working hours. A new account ramps up to them rather than starting there. Those figures cover connection requests sent without a note; requests that carry a note are limited separately on a free account.

Does the weekly ceiling include connection requests with a note?

No, and this is the distinction that matters most. The weekly ceiling covers connection requests sent without a note. LinkedIn allows a free account up to 3 connection requests with a note per month, and gives Premium and Sales Navigator accounts a far larger allowance for requests that carry one. Most outreach uses a note, so a free account is spent after 3 in a month, which is why Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for anyone doing real outbound. That monthly limit is LinkedIn's own restriction on the account type, not a Zevari ceiling: the weekly and daily numbers in the table are the ones Zevari enforces.

Do I need Sales Navigator?

No. A free or Premium account works. Sales Navigator raises the weekly connection ceiling to 200 (from 100 on Free* and 150 on Premium) and unlocks InMail. It is not required to start. If your outreach sends a note with the connection request, though, a free account is capped by LinkedIn at 3 a month, so Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for real outbound.

Does anything ever send without me?

Yes, once you switch a specialist to Autopilot, and not before. First you train your team: you teach ICP Scoring who your ideal customer is by reviewing the leads it scores, and Voice Writer drafts in your voice from a Voice DNA learned from your own writing, sharpened by every message you approve or edit. While you train them, every connection request, message, comment and post waits for your approval. When a specialist has earned it, such as Follow-up after ten approved sends in 30 days, switch it to Autopilot on the AI team page and it runs on its own, in your voice and to your ideal customer. You can switch it back to Reviews with you at any time.

What happens when a limit is reached?

The action waits until the window resets. It is not skipped, not retried in a burst, and not routed around. You can see the count against every ceiling in the Safety Center.

How is this different from the cookie tools that connect an AI to LinkedIn?

Those inject a browser cookie into a headless session, which is the most common reason LinkedIn flags an account. Zevari uses a managed, session-based connection, an approval gate on every write until a trained specialist moves to Autopilot, and enforced pacing. The difference is activity that looks like you versus activity that looks like a script.
