GrowChief

GrowChief delivers a self-hostable social media automation engine that replaces expensive SaaS tools like PhantomBuster, Expandi, and Zopto with a Docker-deployable alternative you fully control. The React and NestJS monorepo architecture runs headful Chrome via xvfb with Playwright and Patchright for maximum stealth — natural mouse movements and randomized interaction patterns make automation indistinguishable from manual browsing. Temporal orchestration manages workflow execution with built-in concurrency control that throttles actions to one every ten minutes per account even when ten workflows trigger simultaneously, preventing rate-limiting and account flags. The enrichment waterfall resolves profile URLs from partial data — provide an email address or organization name and GrowChief queries multiple providers to locate the correct social profile automatically. Working hours scheduling ensures outreach runs only during configurable business hours regardless of when leads enter the pipeline via the public REST API. Proxy support accepts custom SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies per account for geographic distribution and IP isolation. The public API enables full workflow management and lead injection from n8n, Make, Zapier, or any HTTP client, with a dedicated n8n custom node shipping ready to install. The multi-step workflow builder lets you chain connection requests, profile visits, message sends, and conditional delays into repeatable sequences. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • Human-Like Stealth Automation
  • Playwright with Patchright stealth runs headful Chrome via xvfb with natural mouse movements and randomized clicks — no querySelector automation that triggers platform detection systems.
  • Built-In Concurrency Protection
  • Temporal orchestration throttles to one action per ten minutes per account even with multiple simultaneous workflows, preventing rate-limiting and account suspension automatically.
  • Enrichment Waterfall Resolution
  • Provide an email, company name, or partial profile data and multiple providers resolve the full social profile URL — no manual URL lookup required for lead injection.
  • API-First For Integration
  • Public REST API with dedicated n8n custom node enables workflow triggering and lead injection from Make, Zapier, or any HTTP client without touching the web interface.

Features

  • Multi-Step Workflow Builder
  • Chain connection requests, profile visits, message sends, and conditional delays into repeatable outreach sequences executed by Temporal workers.
  • Working Hours Scheduling
  • Configure business hours per timezone so outreach runs only during natural activity windows regardless of when leads enter the pipeline.
  • Proxy Per Account
  • Assign SOCKS5 or HTTP proxies per social account for geographic distribution, IP isolation, and residential proxy rotation.
  • Docker Single-Command Deploy
  • Docker Compose provisions frontend, backend, worker, Temporal, and PostgreSQL with one command on ports 5002 and 8080.
  • Cookie-Based Auth
  • Special authentication technology requires no username or password stored in the system — accounts connect via secure session tokens only.
