LinkedIn accounts & safety

Working hours, time zones and random gaps

Set when each account works. Actions only run in that window, with pauses between them.

Working hours

Each LinkedIn account has its own working days, start and end time and time zone. New accounts work Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:30. Change them in the account's Limits & hours → Working hours.

Set the time zone the account's owner lives in: a profile that sends messages at 3 a.m. local time looks wrong. Mailboxes have their own sending window too.

Random gaps

Between two actions of the same account there's a random pause of about 1.5 to 6 minutes, like a person working through a list. Emails from one mailbox go out a few minutes apart.

Step delays

Each step in a sequence has a delay ("wait 2 days, then…"). When a step comes due outside working hours, it waits for the next working window. That's why campaigns take a little longer than the delays add up to.
