Agencies and sales teams often run outreach from a client’s or colleague’s LinkedIn account. You never need their password: send them a sign-in link and they sign 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 box to confirm you have the account owner’s permission.
  3. Enter the details. Set Owner email to the account owner’s address, so any future sign-in requests go to them.
  4. On the Sign in to connect step, click Copy sign-in link.
  5. Send the link to the account owner. They open it, sign in to LinkedIn, and complete any verification 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.
