Working on fixing a few bugs that have come up within the past week. Trying to add the userRole back to the function (more helpful in my opinion). Code is as follows:

var userRole = [
"CEO",
"CIO"
];

var inviter = {} || inviter;
inviter.userList = [];
inviter.className = 'button-secondary-small';

inviter.refresh = function () {
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
    window.scrollTo(document.body.scrollHeight, 0);
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
};

inviter.initiate = function()
{
    inviter.refresh();
    var connectBtns = $(".button-secondary-small:visible");
// 

    if (connectBtns == null) {var connectBtns = inviter.initiate();}
    
    return connectBtns;
};
inviter.invite = function () {
    var connectBtns = inviter.initiate();
    var buttonLength = connectBtns.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < buttonLength; i++) {
        if (connectBtns != null && connectBtns[i] != null) {inviter.handleRepeat(connectBtns[i]);}
            //if there is a connect button and there is at least one that has not been pushed, repeat
        if (i == buttonLength - 1) {
            console.log("done: " + i);
            inviter.refresh();
        }
    }

};


inviter.handleRepeat = function(button)
{
    var nameValue = button.children[1].textContent
    var name = nameValue.replace(/^\s\s*/, '').replace(/\s\s*$/, '');
	
	function hasRole(role){
	for(var i = 0; i < role.length; i++) {
		// cannot read children of undefined
		var position = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[1].children[1].children[0].children[3].textContent;
		var formatedPosition = position.replace(/^\s\s*/, '').replace(/\s\s*$/, '');
		var hasRole = formatedPosition.indexOf(role[i]) == -1 ? false : true;
		console.log('Has role: ' + role[i] + ' -> ' + hasRole);
		if (hasRole) {
			return hasRole;
					}
				}
			return false;
	}
    if(inviter.arrayContains(name))
	
    {
         console.log("canceled");
         var cancel = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[0];
         cancel.click();
    }
	else if (hasRole(userRole) == false) {
		console.log("cancel");
		var cancel = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[0];
		cancel.click();
		}
    else if (button.textContent.indexOf("Connect")<0){
        console.log("skipped");
        inviter.userList.push(name); // it's likely that this person didn't join linkedin in the meantime, so we'll ignore them
        var cancel = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[0];
        cancel.click();
    }
    else {
        console.log("added");
        inviter.userList.push(name);
        button.click();
    }
};



inviter.arrayContains = function(item)
{
    return (inviter.userList.indexOf(item) > -1);
};

inviter.usersJson = {};

inviter.loadResult = function()
{
 
    var retrievedObject = localStorage.getItem('inviterList');
    var temp = JSON.stringify(retrievedObject);
    inviter.userList = JSON.parse(temp);
};

inviter.saveResult = function()
{
    inviter.usersJson = JSON.stringify(inviter.userList);
    localStorage.setItem('inviterList', inviter.usersJson);
};


setInterval(function () { inviter.invite(); }, 5000);`

When I try executing this, I get the following error:

VM288:49 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'children' of undefined
    at hasRole (<anonymous>:49:71)
    at Object.inviter.handleRepeat (<anonymous>:66:11)
    at Object.inviter.invite (<anonymous>:30:69)
    at <anonymous>:108:35

Any ideas as to how to fix it?

I wrote this script to automate send connection invites from search result pages.

@000011111111 My script also has resulted in POST prevention as a result of this script (https://www.linkedin.com/voyager/api/growth/normInvitations). In addition, normal connect invitations do not work anymore.

Normal invitations seem to be working now.

Daniel, nice work =)

Nice, work! Loving the script, Daniel. Maybe check out mine here: http://www.turnsourceimaging.com/
Keep up the great work!

@dheerajbhaskar could you please add position CEO PRESIDENT? Thanks!

Simple version

setInterval(() => {
    $('button[data-control-name="invite"]').each((i, el) => el.click())
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
    window.scrollTo(document.body.scrollHeight, 0)
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
}, 5e3)

run it on https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/

@miguelmota It's simple but works like a champ :) Thanks!

@000011111111 not sure what this POST error is, I've been using this once in a while rather successfully. I plan to use this more frequently, will fix this sometime soon

@aero007 please check out jopetersen's post, he seems to have implemented what you're asking for

I have tried the original code by the author and it worked well for me. Then I wanted to make sure that this script adds only the people who have "CEO" word in the profile headline. Then I have tried the solutions mentioned above in the comment and non of them work. So I have modified the original code to archive me goal. ( Add the strings(lowercase) you want to be existed in the headline to the "setOfStrings" variable - line 6 )

    'var inviter = {} || inviter;
inviter.userList = [];
inviter.className = 'button-secondary-small';

//your strings here
var setOfStrings = ['ceo, '', 'founder',]; 

inviter.refresh = function () {
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
window.scrollTo(document.body.scrollHeight, 0);
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
};

inviter.initiate = function()
{
inviter.refresh();
var connectBtns = document.getElementsByClassName(inviter.className);

if (connectBtns == null) {var connectBtns = inviter.initiate();}

return connectBtns;
};
inviter.invite = function () {
var connectBtns = inviter.initiate();
var buttonLength = connectBtns.length;
for (var i = 0; i < buttonLength; i++) {

	if (connectBtns != null && connectBtns[i] != null) {inviter.handleRepeat(connectBtns[i]);}
		
	if (i == buttonLength - 1) {
		console.log("done: " + i);
		inviter.refresh();
	}
}

};

inviter.handleRepeat = function(button)
{
var nameValue = button.children[1].textContent
var name = nameValue.replace(/^\s\s*/, '').replace(/\s\s*$/, '');

var position = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[2].textContent;
var formatedPosition = position.replace(/^\s\s*/, '').replace(/\s\s*$/, '').toLowerCase();
console.log(formatedPosition);

var stringExists = false;

for(var i =0;i < setOfStrings.length; i++){
	if(formatedPosition.indexOf(setOfStrings[i]) != -1)
	stringExists = true;
}

if(inviter.arrayContains(name))
{
	 console.log("cancel");
	 var cancel = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[0];
	 cancel.click();
}
else
{
	if(stringExists == true)
	{
		console.log("add");
		inviter.userList.push(name);
		button.click();
	} 
	else
	{
		console.log("cancel");
		var cancel = button.parentNode.parentNode.children[0];
		cancel.click();
	}
}
};

inviter.arrayContains = function(item)
{
return (inviter.userList.indexOf(item) > -1);
};

inviter.usersJson = {};

inviter.loadResult = function()
{

var retrievedObject = localStorage.getItem('inviterList');
var temp = JSON.stringify(retrievedObject);
inviter.userList = JSON.parse(temp);

};

inviter.saveResult = function()
{
inviter.usersJson = JSON.stringify(inviter.userList);
localStorage.setItem('inviterList', inviter.usersJson);
};


setInterval(function () { inviter.invite(); }, 5000);`

@miguelmota your script is amazing in the numbers but can you make one with a selection of keywords ?
obrigado

Looks like LinkedIn changed something over the last couple of weeks and the scripts on this page, except the one from @miguelmota, do not seem to work anymore and that one doesn't let you select keywords. I hope that someone who knows this script well can fix this. Thanks, guys!

Try using this script.
