If you run it locally, you can connect it to your real browser and user profile where you are already logged in. This works for me for LinkedIn automation, e.g., to send friend requests or answer messages.

A bigger problem on LinkedIn for us is all the nested UI elements and different scrolling elements. With some configuration in our extraction layer in buildDomTree.js and some custom actions, I believe someone could build a really cool LinkedIn agent.
