The Popup Method: Set a Rule, Press Start, Walk Away

The popup is the fast path. You are telling Unpend to clear a list on your behalf, then leaving it alone. This is what each control does and what to expect while it runs.

Choosing a surface

The popup lists five places: sent invitations to people, invitations to company pages, people you follow, companies you follow, and groups. Pressing one opens that LinkedIn page in the current tab.

This is the step that unlocks Start. Unpend acts on the page in front of you, so it needs you to be on it. Nothing runs anywhere else, and nothing runs while the tab is closed.

The age filter

Before starting, you can tell Unpend to leave anything newer than a cutoff alone. An invitation from last week might still be accepted; one from three years ago will not.

Ninety days is a sensible default. Set it and the run touches only invitations older than that, so recent outreach is untouched.

What happens when it runs

It scrolls the list, clicks the control on each row, and confirms the dialog LinkedIn puts up. The counter in the popup tells you how far along it is. LinkedIn loads about ten rows at a time, so it keeps scrolling as it goes.

Actions are paced at a hard ceiling of 25 per minute with uneven gaps, and it backs off on its own if LinkedIn signals a limit. Slower is the point: this is meant to look like a person working through a list, not a script hammering an endpoint.

Stopping, and interruptions

There is a Stop button on every run, and it takes effect on the current item. A run you cannot interrupt is a run most people would never start.

If LinkedIn reloads the page mid-run, Unpend keeps its place and carries on. If you close the tab, the run ends: nothing continues in the background, on a schedule, or while you are logged out.

When not to use it

When you want to keep some of them. A rule cannot tell that one of those 400 connections is your best customer. That is what the Network Manager is for.

For invitations that were never answered, though, there is usually nothing to decide, and this is the faster tool by a wide margin.

Common questions

Does Unpend keep running if I close the tab?

No. It works on the page you have open. Close the tab and the run stops.

How fast does it go?

A hard ceiling of 25 actions per minute, with uneven gaps, and it slows down further if LinkedIn signals a limit.

Can I stop a run partway?

Yes. Every run has a Stop button and it takes effect immediately. Anything already done stays done.
