Splits commenters into individual items for sequential processing 4. Loops through each commenter one at a time 5. Checks relationship status (already connected? pending request?) 6. Filters out existing connections and pending invitations 7. Generates unique personalized messages using spin text variations 8. Sends connection request with the personalized message 9. Waits 1-2 hours between requests for rate limiting 10. Loops back to process the next commenter until complete The smart filtering ensures you never send duplicate requests or spam existing connections. --- Setup steps Step 1: Install ConnectSafely.ai Community Node Install the Package 1.
