yesterday I used for the first time the linkedin tool #findapro function,  
basically it’s a post on your feed, looking for a professional in a certain category you select.

the amazing phenomenon that happened in the next 24 hours is kinda crazy to me.

I got 250+ connection requests with related messages offering their services;  
i literally got bombed (90% from India) and I believe these messages have been automated.  
Am I missing something? is there a similar option on JV as well?

Have you tried using this kind of search URL as a custom search URL? For Search and Connect tool for example:  
[https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=findapro](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=findapro)
