Connect a LinkedIn account

Connect your LinkedIn account as a sender in Victoria AI, what happens after it connects, and what to do if it fails.

Last updated

A LinkedIn sender sends a campaign's profile views, connection requests and LinkedIn messages. Each one uses a LinkedIn seat on your plan.

Connect a LinkedIn account

  1. Go to Sender Accounts. Under LinkedIn Accounts, select Add.
  2. The Connect Account window opens on the LinkedIn tab. Enter Your name: the name the AI uses when it writes as you.
  3. Select Open LinkedIn Sign-in. The sign-in page opens in the same tab.
  4. Sign in to LinkedIn and approve any security check LinkedIn asks for.
  5. You return to Sender Accounts with the message Account connected. The account appears under LinkedIn Accounts marked Active.

If the account doesn't appear right away, refresh the page after a few seconds.

To connect someone else's LinkedIn account, such as a colleague's, send them an invite link instead. See Connect a sender with an invite link.

What happens after a LinkedIn account connects

  • The account starts its 14 days warm-up ramp, with a low daily cap that rises in steps. The row shows Day 1 of 14 and today's cap while it ramps. See LinkedIn restrictions and limits.
  • The chip next to the account shows its risk level, such as Risk: elevated while it ramps. Select the chip to see its risk and sending limits.
  • To send from it, assign it to a campaign in Campaigns → your campaign → Settings → Connected Accounts.

Your first connected sender also earns setup credits. See Setup credits.

LinkedIn Add button is disabled

The Add button is disabled in two cases. Hover over it to see which:

  • You've reached your LinkedIn seat limit. The count next to the button, such as 1 of 1 connected, is full. A pending invite link takes a seat too. On a paid Workspace plan, add a LinkedIn seat in Credits & Billing. On Agency, contact support to change seats. During the trial, the trial's LinkedIn seat is the limit until it converts. See Plans and add-ons.
  • Your subscription is canceled. Reactivate in Credits & Billing to add accounts. See Cancel or reactivate.

LinkedIn connection fails or never completes

If you close the sign-in page or LinkedIn's security check isn't finished, nothing is connected and the seat stays free. Go back to Sender Accounts and select Add again.

If the window shows an error, select Try again. If it keeps failing, send us the error text from Feedback & Support in the sidebar.
