Controlled execution

Your LinkedIn account stays under your control

Any third-party tool that acts on LinkedIn carries risk. SalesTouch reduces that risk with concrete controls instead of promising zero risk.

  • Stable login context

    LinkedIn actions run from a consistent residential location matched to your account.

  • Human-paced limits

    Working hours, daily limits, queues, and cooldowns prevent sudden bursts of activity.

  • Permissions and approvals

    You decide which tools Claude can use and which actions require confirmation.
