Agencies and sales teams often run outreach from a client’s or colleague’s LinkedIn account. You never need their password: send them a hosted login link and they log in themselves. Each LinkedIn sender’s traffic goes through a proxy in one country. The proxy is set to the country of whoever opens the link. If you open a client’s link from another country, their LinkedIn activity would appear to come from your location, which looks suspicious to LinkedIn. Always let the account owner open it.

​
How to do it

  1. Go to Senders → Connect sender and choose LinkedIn.
  2. Tick the consent box to confirm you have the account owner’s consent.
  3. Enter the details. Set Owner email to the account owner’s address, so re-login reminders go to them.
  4. On the last step, click Copy link to send to the sender owner.
  5. Send the link to the account owner. They open it, log in to LinkedIn, and enter any verification code LinkedIn asks for.
The sender shows Connecting until they finish, then turns Connected. Important: The link expires after 15 minutes. Ask the owner to be ready before you send it.

​
When the account is logged out later

If LinkedIn ends the session, the sender shows Re-login needed. Click Send re-login link on the sender’s Overview tab. It’s emailed to the owner, and you can also copy it. To avoid this altogether, ask the owner to install the Chrome extension.

Q: Can the owner see or revoke access?

Yes. They can end the session at any time by logging out of LinkedIn. A Manager can also disable the sender with Purge stored secrets ticked, which removes all stored session data.
