LinkedIn accounts & safety

Connect a LinkedIn account

Sign in on a secure hosted page, handle two-step verification, and reconnect if LinkedIn signs you out.

Connect

  1. Go to LinkedIn accounts and press Connect LinkedIn account.
  2. A secure window opens on our LinkedIn provider's page (Unipile). Sign in with your LinkedIn email and password.
  3. If LinkedIn asks for a code (two-step verification or a security check), enter it there.
  4. You're sent back to the app, and the account appears with the Safe limits and a warm-up already set.

We never see or store your LinkedIn password: the sign-in happens on the provider's page, and only a connection to your account comes back to us.

What happens after you connect

  • New accounts start on the Safe preset with a 14-day warm-up.
  • Your existing LinkedIn conversations are imported into the inbox, so the history is in one place. Replies to old conversations don't stop any campaign.
  • Accepted invitations are picked up as they happen, and the newest connections are also checked a few times a day, so leads move on without waiting.
  • Sales Navigator search links work only with an account that has Sales Navigator.

Several accounts

Connect as many accounts as your plan has seats. A campaign can send from several of them: leads are split across the accounts, each within its own limits, so more accounts means a faster campaign. Each lead keeps the same sender, so the conversation stays in one thread.

Need another seat? The organization's owner adds one in Settings → Billing → Manage billing. Seats and billing.

Reconnect or disconnect

If LinkedIn signs the account out (for example after a password change), the account shows Reconnect. Press it and sign in again; campaigns pick up where they stopped.

Disconnect account stops everything the account was about to send and also disconnects it from our LinkedIn provider. Conversations stay in your inbox, and you can connect it again later.

What isn't possible

Follow steps are skipped on real accounts today (our provider's API has no follow action); use Like their latest post to warm people up instead. LinkedIn groups, events and profile viewers can't be used as lead sources.
