LinkedIn Notification Fatigue 2026: Fix It in Salesforce vs Item 12
· how-to
LinkedIn notifies you for likes, comments, connection accepts, and DMs — most aren't urgent. Salesforce logs activities when reps remember to log; Item 12 mirrors inbox in CRM so you triage once in Claude or the web app, not fifty times in LinkedIn mobile.
