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

Before Blacklist
  • โœ•

    Fear of messaging competitors

    Living in constant fear you'll accidentally pitch your service to a competitor.

  • โœ•

    Reputation at risk

    One wrong message to an existing client can ruin a relationship built over years.

  • โœ•

    No safety net

    Manually checking every prospect to make sure they're not on your "don't contact" list.

After Blacklist
  • โœ“

    Protected automatically

    Upload a CSV of LinkedIn URLs, or add people by hand. Botdog blocks them across all campaigns.

  • โœ“

    Stops mid-campaign

    Botdog checks the blacklist immediately before every invitation, message and visit, and ends the sequence on a match.

  • โœ“

    Total peace of mind

    Focus on outreach strategy, not on whether each prospect is safe to contact.

Outreach With Guardrails

Set it once. Never accidentally message the wrong person again.

Quick setup

Import entire lists with a CSV or Excel upload, or use the "Add manually" tab to paste one or several profile links with optional name, title and company. Organise them into multiple named lists.

Stay professional

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.

Team-friendly, API-ready

Export a blacklist to share it with a teammate, and create, read or update blacklists and their entries through the API.

What people say about Botdog

Real stories. Real results.

I loved that Botdog allows tailoring messages based on LinkedIn connections and personalising them by pulling in data from my CSV file. Being able to upload a CSV of data for contacts I want to approach is invaluable, as I can pull data from sources like Tami. Tailoring messages based on whether I'm connected to a prospect or not is really helpful, as it makes it seem like the message has come directly from me instead of just sending out bulk messages. Additionally, setting up Botdog was easy peasy.

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 think the ease of use of Botdog is great. It's really easy to set up a campaign in just a few minutes, allowing me to create simple campaigns with many touch points for each LinkedIn campaign. I can personalize the messages, which makes each connection and prospecting opportunity unique. This ease of setup is valuable because it just takes about ten minutes to get started, which I really appreciate.

I love that setting up LinkedIn automation with Botdog is super easy. It's incredible how I can set up campaigns to auto-connect with people I'm interested in, which saves me an incredible amount of time. I appreciate not having to manually connect on LinkedIn anymore, which I used to do in the past. This feature is a game changer for me. The responsive customer support team is also a big plus. If I ever have an issue, they are very responsive, which is incredibly important to me.

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 love how Botdog helps me automate connection requests and messages on LinkedIn, saving me so much time compared to doing it manually. I think the best thing about Botdog is how easy it is to use; it takes just a few minutes to build a campaign, and it's super straightforward. It's also valuable because it's intuitive, allowing me to save time without having to learn a complicated tool. Botdog really makes sense for me since I'm not interested in email automation, just LinkedIn, and the initial setup was very easy.

Awesome team! Switching to bot dog - I've been using Dripify and it's wayyy too expensive for the value it provides.

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.
