Connect your LinkedIn once. Guhan sends invites, messages, comments, reactions, and profile views from it.
Your LinkedIn account is used only for sending. Finding prospects never runs searches from your account.

Steps

1

Open Sender accounts

Settings, Sender accounts. You can also connect from your profile under Sender accounts, or from the connect prompt when you set up a campaign’s senders.
2

Click Add sender and pick LinkedIn

The dialog shows how many senders you have used out of your limit. If you are an admin with teammates, you can also choose who the sender is for.
Add sender with LinkedIn selected. Click Continue authentication

3

Sign in on LinkedIn

Click Continue authentication. LinkedIn’s sign-in opens in a new tab, with two ways to sign in: your email and password, or a session cookie. Choose one, as described below. Guhan never sees your password.

Return to Guhan

Guhan finishes setup in a moment. The sender appears in the list. A healthy sender shows no warning badge.

Two ways to sign in

At the top of the sign-in page, pick a method: Credentials or Cookies.

Method 1: email and password

Open the Credentials tab, enter the email and password you use for LinkedIn, and click Login. This is the simplest way. If it does not work for you, use a session cookie instead.
The Credentials tab: enter your LinkedIn email and password, then click Login

The Credentials tab: enter your LinkedIn email and password, then click Login

A session cookie is a small value that LinkedIn keeps in your browser while you are signed in. Copy one value from your browser, called li_at, and paste it into the Cookies tab. You do not need your password.
The Cookies tab: paste your li_at value. The li_a field is optional, for Recruiter and Sales Navigator accounts

Treat the cookie like a password. Paste it only into this sign-in page and never share it. Signing out of LinkedIn ends that session, and the cookie stops working.
Your cookie has to be collected in the same browser as the sign-in page. Finding it is not possible on a phone or tablet app, so use a computer. This is what the How to find them? link on the sign-in page explains.
1

Open LinkedIn

Open linkedin.com in a new tab of the same browser.
2

Log in

Log in to the LinkedIn account you want to connect.
3

Open your browser's developer tools

Press F12 in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, or Option + Command + I in Safari. Then open the Application tab (Chrome and Edge) or the Storage tab (Firefox and Safari).
4

Open the LinkedIn cookies

In the left list, open Cookies and click https://www.linkedin.com.
5

Copy the li_at value

Find the row named li_at. Typing li_at in the filter box finds it quickly. Click the row and copy the Cookie Value.
In your browser's developer tools, open Cookies, then https://www.linkedin.com. Select the li_at row and copy the Cookie Value shown below it (blurred in this picture)

6

Paste it and log in

Go back to the sign-in tab, paste the value into Enter your li_at value, and click Login.
If your account has a Recruiter or Sales Navigator subscription, also copy the li_a cookie the same way and paste it into the optional li_a field.

Sending limits and windows

LinkedIn is the channel with the tightest limits. Daily and weekly caps, the sending window, and pacing are all covered in Sending safety. You can adjust them for each account in its settings.
Raising limits above the defaults raises the risk of LinkedIn restricting your account. Keep the defaults unless you have a reason.

Several LinkedIn accounts

You can connect more than one, up to your sender limit (see Sender accounts). Each has its own limits and schedule. Add several to one campaign and Guhan spreads the work across them.

If something’s off

Your browser may have blocked the pop-up. Allow pop-ups for Guhan and click Continue authentication again.
Try the other sign-in method (Credentials or Cookies), a private window, or a different browser, and make sure you are signing into the account you meant to connect. If a cookie is refused, log in to LinkedIn again and copy a fresh li_at in the same browser.
Someone in your organization already connected this LinkedIn account. Ask them, or an admin, to reassign or disconnect it first.
Wait a minute, then refresh Settings, Sender accounts. If the sender is not there, connect again.
LinkedIn signed Guhan out. Use the action on the account’s row. See Sender accounts.
