A sender is a LinkedIn account (or email inbox) that runs your outreach. The account owner signs in on a secure sign-in 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. Under What would you like to connect?, choose LinkedIn, tick the box confirming you have the account owner’s permission, and click Continue.
  3. Fill in the account details:
    • Client (optional): the client this account works for. Leave it as No client to share the account across the workspace.
    • Display name: how the account appears in lists and the Inbox, for example Jane (Sales). The real profile name is filled in once the account is connected.
    • Owner email: the person who owns the account. We email them here if the account ever needs to be signed in again.
    • Timezone: outreach is sent during the account owner’s working hours in this timezone.
  4. Click Connect LinkedIn. You’ll be taken to a secure sign-in page. Complete any verification LinkedIn asks for, then return to GrowthxAI to finish connecting.
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 sign-in link expires after 15 minutes. If it expires, go back and create a new one.

Connecting someone else’s account?

Don’t open the link yourself. Click Copy sign-in link and send it to the account owner so they can sign in themselves. 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.
