Bulk Friend Requests

Works on:

Have a list of people you want to connect with, from an event, a spreadsheet or another tool? Bulk Friend Requests sends them friend requests for you, a few at a time, on a schedule that keeps your account safe. It's on the Platinum plan.

Starting a campaign​

  1. Click Friends in the sidebar, then Bulk Add Friends.
  2. Import your list: drop in a CSV or Excel file, or paste profile links. Profile links, usernames and IDs all work. It's the same kind of list you use for Send to a List.
  3. The list is checked and de-duplicated before anything is sent. Anyone you're already friends with, or have already sent a request to, is skipped.
  4. Daily pace: pick a Safety preset. Cautious (15 a day) is safest for newer accounts. You can also set your own Friend requests per day, Minutes between requests and a Warm-up that starts low and adds a few more each day.
  5. Active hours: tick Only send during active hours and choose the hours and days, so requests never go out at 3am.
  6. Optionally File new friends into folder, and give the campaign a name you'll recognise.
  7. Launch it.

Staying safe​

  • Requests are spaced out with human-like timing, and never go over a safe account-wide total per day.
  • Auto-pause protection: if Facebook starts refusing requests, the campaign stops straight away.
  • Pause or resume any campaign from its card.

The campaign card shows Requests sent, how many are Pending, Sent today and when the Next request goes out. Chrome needs to be running for requests to go out.

Next Steps: Find people to add from Facebook's own suggestions with Suggested Friends.
