How to make sure the wrong people are never contacted
Nothing kills credibility faster than pitching your own client, or your biggest competitor, by accident. Botdog's blacklist keeps your outreach clean: upload a CSV, or just type in a profile link, keep as many lists as you like, and Botdog checks every one of them before every single action, so a person you add today is stopped even if they're halfway through a campaign.

See the Difference
Never accidentally message the wrong person
- โ
Fear of messaging competitors
Living in constant fear you'll accidentally pitch your service to a competitor.
- โ
Reputation at risk
One wrong message to an existing client can ruin a relationship built over years.
- โ
No safety net
Manually checking every prospect to make sure they're not on your "don't contact" list.
- โ
Protected automatically
Upload a CSV of LinkedIn URLs, or add people by hand. Botdog blocks them across all campaigns.
- โ
Stops mid-campaign
Botdog checks the blacklist immediately before every invitation, message and visit, and ends the sequence on a match.
- โ
Total peace of mind
Focus on outreach strategy, not on whether each prospect is safe to contact.

Never accidentally message your clients, competitors, or people who've asked not to be contacted. Blacklisted contacts show a clear badge and a skip reason on your Contacts page.

What people say about Botdog
Real stories. Real results.
Kate G.
I like that Botdog is very intuitive, making it easy even for someone who has never used it before or read any instructions to use it immediately. The initial setup was extremely easy, and it's well integrated with our other tools. It saves an enormous amount of time by automating LinkedIn outreach, allowing my sales team to take over only when a lead replies.

I like how easy it is to import and automate the request addition in Botdog. It's a simple search on the system and adding the link to Botdog is as simple as it gets. The initial setup was very simple; I just created a username and connected LinkedIn.

Botdog is straightforward and easy to use. It helps me get the tasks I need done - fast and without friction. I use it for product and service discovery, and it consistently leads me to insightful conversations with potential customers every week. It is still quite cheap in comparison with other tools.

I subscribed -- in the seven-day free trial, I got several meetings booked. Much better response rate than my LinkedIn Sales Nav InMessages.

Awesome team! Switching to bot dog - I've been using Dripify and it's wayyy too expensive for the value it provides.
Rasmus Chow
Botdog has completely changed how I approach LinkedIn outreach. I went from sending 10 connections a day manually to 100+ automated, and my response rate actually went up.

Best LinkedIn automation tool I've tried. Simple to set up, doesn't get your account flagged, and the team support is fantastic. Worth every penny.
