Launching I Hate Networking.

I've been building a Luma → LinkedIn lead connection automation tool, so you can focus on building human connections.

Feature:

→ Find attendees' LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and websites from Luma leads

→ Automate LinkedIn connection requests (safe with rate limiting and requests spread throughout the day)

→ Draft a thank you message to the host with everyone's LinkedIn names, plus give you the option to tag guests in your post

It's working, free, and a chrome plug‑in! I want your feedbacks!

Thanks Lyvia Chapman Michalis Vasileiadis Rayyan Zahid for your support during building!

You go to events. You meet people. You follow up. Nobody does.

  • 01

    Luma shows you who attended. 50, 100, 200 people. Their names. Their faces. All right there.

  • 02

    LinkedIn is where business happens. But manually searching each person? That's 3+ hours of work per event.

  • 03

    So nobody does it. The warmest leads you'll ever have — people you were literally in the same room with — go cold in 48 hours.

  • 04

    I automated the whole thing. Scan the guest list. Match LinkedIn profiles. Send personalized notes. Staggered. Human-paced. Automatic.

Three parts.
One system.

A Chrome extension that lives in your sidebar. A web dashboard to track every campaign. A Telegram bot watching over it all. Together, they turn attending an event into a stack of pending LinkedIn connections — with zero manual work.

🧩
Chrome Extension
TypeScript · Manifest V3

Side panel UI. Detects Luma event pages automatically. Scans the full guest list, lazy-loading all attendees. Finds LinkedIn profiles. Queues connections. Runs entirely in your browser — no server required.

📊
Dashboard
Next.js · Supabase · Vercel

Track every campaign across every event. See pending, sent, accepted, and failed connections. Cumulative progress graph. CSV export. Real-time Supabase sync so the data is always current.

🤖
Telegram Bot
Node.js · pm2 · UptimeRobot

24/7 VPS monitoring. Responds to /status, /health, /logs commands. Pings on errors. UptimeRobot checks every 5 minutes. Also routes queries to Claude with MCP access for intelligent debugging.

The Workflow

Four steps. The first one is manual. The rest run on their own.

Step 01
📅
Attend Event
  • Show up to any Luma event
  • Open the event page after
  • Extension auto-detects it
Step 02
🔍
Scan Attendees
  • One click to scan
  • Lazy-loads all guests
  • Matches LinkedIn profiles
  • Stores to Supabase
Step 03
✍️
Write a Note
  • One personalized message
  • Auto-fills event name
  • Launch campaign
  • Queue created instantly
Step 04
Connections Send
  • Every 15–30 minutes
  • Business hours only
  • 25/day cap by design
  • Zero manual work

How I Shipped It

Warm intros are the #1 pipeline channel at every early-stage company. Most people never capture them. Building the infrastructure to do it at scale meant solving a few genuinely hard problems.

Relationship Design
Human-Paced by Design

Aggressive outreach kills relationships. So this is deliberately slow: 25 connections/day, 15-30 min random delays, only during 6am-11pm local time. Zero bans in production. The insight here is a GTM one, not an engineering one: volume without trust is noise.

By the numbers
