GrowChief is an open-source social media automation tool for outreach, offered as an alternative to products like Phantom Buster, Expandi, Zopto, LinkedIn Helper and Meet Alfred. It is API-based, which makes it a fit for n8n, Make and Zapier users, and lets you build step-by-step workflows that interact with accounts, for example by sending a connection request and then a follow-up message.
The README highlights how it handles practicalities: concurrency control so that even many workflows on the same account act at most once every ten minutes, an enrichment waterfall that finds a profile URL from other parameters such as email using several providers, working hours so leads are processed only at set times, support for your own proxies, and human-like automation with natural mouse movements and clicks. The project says it does not encourage spam. Topics include n8n, NestJS and Temporal.
GrowChief is written in TypeScript on Node.js and licensed under AGPL-3.0, with documentation, an n8n node and a developer Discord. Automating actions on social platforms can conflict with their terms of service, so users should check the rules of each network.
