How do I connect LinkedIn and send LinkedIn outreach?

You connect a LinkedIn account from Accounts, then use it in a campaign as a sender. Each connected LinkedIn account needs its own paid slot, called a Warmerly Link slot. LinkedIn is not included in any base plan, and there is no free trial for it. Warmerly acts through your own LinkedIn profile, so the connection requests and messages come from you.

For the price, see Plans & limits or the pricing page. For how slots work, see Channel accounts: paid slots and overage.

Connect a LinkedIn account

1. Open Accounts and click Add.
2. Under "Or add another channel", choose LinkedIn account.
3. The screen shows how many paid LinkedIn slots you are using. If every slot is taken (or you have none), the button becomes a purchase button instead. Buy a slot first, then come back.
4. Click Continue to LinkedIn. LinkedIn's own sign-in opens. Log in, and approve the login on your phone if LinkedIn asks.
5. You return to Accounts, where the account is listed under the LinkedIn tab as Active.

Only people with billing permission in the workspace can buy a slot. Inside an Agency client workspace, slots are bought in the main (parent) workspace.

What you see on the LinkedIn tab

Each connected account shows its name, headline, a Premium badge if the LinkedIn account has a paid LinkedIn plan, its send window (hours and timezone), and two bars:

• Connections: connection requests sent today against the account's daily limit.
• Messages: direct messages sent today against the account's daily limit.

Buttons on the right reconnect or disconnect the account. A LinkedIn warmup settings section under each account controls warmup (see LinkedIn warmup).

Warmerly also applies a separate safety budget per account, so a send can wait even when the bars show room. See "Daily limits" below.

Send outreach in a campaign

1. Create or open a campaign (see Launch your first campaign).
2. In the Sequence editor, add LI Connection (a connection request) and LI Message (a direct message) steps. A connection request note is optional and limited to 300 characters.
3. Open the campaign's Senders tab. Under LinkedIn accounts, pick your account from "Add a LinkedIn account" and add it. Without a sender, LinkedIn steps cannot run.
4. Get leads that have a LinkedIn profile into the campaign, for example with Warmerly Link. A lead with no LinkedIn profile is skipped on a message step.
5. Launch. The launch checklist blocks the campaign if a LinkedIn step has no sender or no active Warmerly Link slot.

A campaign can mix email and LinkedIn steps in one sequence. WhatsApp steps cannot be launched yet, see WhatsApp outreach. Replies from LinkedIn arrive in the shared Inbox next to your email conversations.

Daily limits

Every LinkedIn action draws from one daily budget per account, shared by warmup and campaigns. The budget grows as the account builds up activity, so a new account starts small on purpose.

• Connection requests: 2 a day on a normal LinkedIn account, 10 a day on LinkedIn Premium, at full pace. A weekly ceiling applies on top.
• Messages: up to 50 a day at full pace.
• The budget starts at a fraction of full pace and rises over roughly three weeks of warmup days.

When the budget for the day is used up, remaining steps wait and resume the next day. Nothing is lost. The days that count towards the ramp are days LinkedIn warmup actually ran, so turning warmup on is what raises the budget. See LinkedIn warmup.

These limits protect your LinkedIn account. They cannot be raised past the safe maximums, and support cannot lift them.

My LinkedIn account shows Disconnected

The status on each account is Active, Reconnecting or Disconnected. Disconnected means LinkedIn stopped accepting Warmerly's session, usually because the LinkedIn password changed, the account logged out everywhere, or LinkedIn asked for an extra verification step.

1. Open Accounts, then the LinkedIn tab.
2. Click Reconnect on the account.
3. Sign in on LinkedIn's screen again and approve the login on your phone if asked.

Reconnecting repairs the same account in place, so your warmup settings and campaign links stay. Warmerly also re-checks accounts that are not Active whenever you open the tab, so a stale Disconnected label can fix itself.

While an account is disconnected, its warmup and campaign steps do not run.

Disconnect or remove an account

Click the bin icon on the account and confirm. Warmerly stops using it and removes it from your workspace. The slot it used becomes free, so you can connect a different LinkedIn account with it. Disconnecting does not cancel the slot subscription, so you keep paying for the slot until you cancel it.

Common problems

• A purchase button instead of Continue to LinkedIn. You have no free slot. Buy one from the wizard or from Settings > Usage & limits (the Warmerly Link slots card).
• LinkedIn did not accept the email or password. Check them and try again.
• LinkedIn wants an extra verification step. Open the LinkedIn app, approve the login, then try again.
• Too many attempts. Wait a few minutes before trying again.
• Campaign not sending on LinkedIn. Check that the account is Active, is added on the Senders tab, its slot is not past due or ended, and your workspace is not billing-locked. A billing-locked workspace pauses LinkedIn warmup and campaign sending along with email.
• The slot ended. When a slot subscription ends, Warmerly disconnects and removes the linked LinkedIn account at that point. Cancelling a slot keeps it working until the end of the period you already paid for.
