A sender is a LinkedIn account (or mailbox) that runs your outreach. The account owner logs in on a secure hosted page, so GrowthxAI never sees or stores their password.
Only Owners and Managers can connect senders.

Before you start

Please read this before connecting:
  • GrowthxAI Outreach is not affiliated with LinkedIn.
  • Automating a LinkedIn account breaches LinkedIn’s User Agreement. The account holder carries the risk of restriction.
  • A session token is stored on the owner’s behalf. They can revoke it at any time by disabling the sender or logging out of LinkedIn.
  • No identity rental: only connect accounts whose owners have agreed.

How to connect

  1. Go to Senders and click Connect sender.
  2. Choose LinkedIn, tick the consent box, and click Continue.
  3. Fill in the sender details:
    • Client (optional): the client this sender works for. Leave it as No client to share the sender across the workspace.
    • Display name: how the sender appears in tables and the Inbox, for example Jane (Sales). The real profile name is pulled in after connecting.
    • Owner email: where re-login reminders and extension instructions are sent.
    • Timezone: the sender’s working hours run in this timezone.
  4. Click Open hosted login and sign in to LinkedIn, including any verification code LinkedIn asks for.
The sender appears straight away as Connecting. It turns Connected once the login is complete. The profile, connection count and inbox history follow within a few minutes. Important: The hosted login link expires after 15 minutes. If it expires, go back and generate a new one.

Connecting someone else’s account?

Don’t open the link yourself. Click Copy link to send to the sender owner and send it to them. See How to Securely Connect Someone Else’s LinkedIn Account.

What happens after connecting

  • The sender starts at warm-up level 0, with low daily limits that rise over the following weeks.
  • Accounts with fewer than 150 connections stay at level 0 for at least 28 days.
  • The sender works Monday–Friday, 09:00–18:00 by default. You can change this on its Schedule tab.

Troubleshooting

1. “Hosted login did not complete”
  • The login was cancelled or the link expired.
Solution: Open the sender and generate a fresh link. If you’re not a Manager, ask one to send it. 2. “Trial workspaces can connect up to 3 senders”
  • Trials are limited to 3 active senders.
Solution: Add billing under Settings → Billing to connect more. See Pricing Plans. 3. The sender is stuck on Connecting
  • The login wasn’t finished.
Solution: Generate a new link and complete the login within 15 minutes.
