How do I connect with people on Automate America?
You connect with someone on Automate America by sending them a connection request from their profile and having them accept it — once connected, you both unlock each other's full contact details and can endorse one another. Before you connect, profiles show a person by first name only; their last name, company, phone number, and email stay private. Connecting is how two people choose to exchange that full identity and reach each other directly. To connect, open a person's profile in the feed or in search and send a request; when they accept, their complete contact information becomes visible to you and yours to them, and an endorsement option appears so you can vouch for each other's skills and work. Connections are mutual and reciprocal — both sides see the same unlocked details, and either side can remove the connection later. Endorsements you give and receive show on profiles as social proof, helping professionals stand out and helping companies trust who they are reaching out to. Building real connections is the heart of the network: it turns an anonymous first-name listing into a direct, two-way professional relationship you can act on. Start by finding people whose work matters to you — professionals you might hire, companies you want to work with, or peers in your trade — and send a request.
