Connecting LinkedIn
Connecting your LinkedIn account to an AI SDR agent enables automated LinkedIn outreach, including connection requests, messaging, and follow-ups.
Prerequisites
Before connecting LinkedIn, ensure:
- You have an active LinkedIn account
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is enabled on your LinkedIn account
- You have your 2FA Secret Key (see 2FA Setup Guide)
How to Connect
- On any agent card, click the LinkedIn icon at the bottom (it should say "Connect").
- The Connect LinkedIn drawer opens.
What You'll Need to Enter
| Field | Required? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Email | Yes | The email address used to log into LinkedIn. Must be a valid email format. |
| LinkedIn Password | Yes | Your LinkedIn password. Click the eye icon to show/hide it. |
| 2FA Secret Key | Yes | Your LinkedIn two-factor authentication secret key. Not the 6-digit code — the secret key used to generate those codes. |
| Country | Yes | Select your country from the searchable dropdown. |
tip
Need help finding your 2FA Secret Key? Click the "How to get your 2FA Secret Key?" link below the 2FA field. This opens step-by-step instructions on the right side of the screen.
- Click "Add" to submit.
- The system will process the connection. You'll see "Processing..." while it works.
- Once connected, the LinkedIn icon on the agent card turns green and shows "Connected".
Connection Status
After clicking Connect, the status will update in real-time:
- Connecting — The system is establishing the connection
- Connected — LinkedIn is successfully linked to the agent
- Failed — Connection failed (check credentials and try again)
Real-time updates: LinkedIn connection status updates automatically via live notifications — no need to refresh the page.
If the Connection Fails
- The status bar will show "Retry Connecting to LinkedIn" with a red dot.
- Click the LinkedIn icon again to retry with corrected credentials.
info
Once LinkedIn is connected to an agent, it cannot be disconnected. The connection is permanent for that agent.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Connection fails immediately | Verify your email and password are correct |
| 2FA error | Ensure you're using the correct 2FA Secret Key, not the 6-digit code |
| Account locked | LinkedIn may have locked your account — log in manually to unlock |
| Country mismatch | Select the country matching your LinkedIn account location |
| LinkedIn URL rejected | Make sure you're using a personal profile URL (linkedin.com/in/...), not a company page URL |
