Withdraw all pending invitations from LinkedIn automatically in bulk. - Or "How I stopped spamming all of my contacts with invitations".

Is there any way to delete the 'oldest invites' and leaving the newest XX: so like delete invitations until XX newest invitations are left?

you can go the the page with the maximum age of pending invitations that you like to keep, for example 1 month old, and then run the script, as it takes only the buttons that are page elements in the current page loading state, it will then delete all requests that are older until it has finished till the last page. you just have to close the browser window if it starts to remove the requests that you want to keep :)

This worked for me in November 2020.

WEB:

var button1 = document.getElementsByClassName("invitation-card__action-btn artdeco-button artdeco-button--muted artdeco-button--3 artdeco-button--tertiary ember-view")
var button2 = document.getElementsByClassName("artdeco-modal__confirm-dialog-btn artdeco-button artdeco-button--2 artdeco-button--primary ember-view")
setInterval(()=>{
     for(var i=0;i<button1.length;i++){
          button1[i].click()
          button2[0].click()}},1000)

Mobile:

var button1 = document.getElementsByClassName("rect-btn rect-btn_muted_tertiary rect-btn_muted rect-btn_regular ripple invite-card-withdraw-btn js-withdraw-invite-btn  js-rect-btn")
var button2 = document.getElementsByClassName("rect-btn rect-btn_tertiary  rect-btn_regular ripple primary-action  js-rect-btn")
setInterval(()=>{
     for(var i=0;i<button1.length;i++){
          button1[i].click()
          button2[0].click()}},1000)

Good luck.

Thanks @nijatmursali your web script worked for me :) It seems like it withdrew 98 invitations (on the single page) each time I ran it, so if you have multiple pages, repeat the script.
