# Connect LinkedIn

> Add your first (or additional) LinkedIn sender account.

Your LinkedIn account is the workhorse — Guhan uses it to find prospects AND send outreach. LinkedIn connect is NOT part of onboarding anymore — you connect either on the launch screen's "How to reach them" popup, from the banner on your Outreach Agent detail page after launch, or here in Settings.

## The steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    Click the gear icon in the sidebar → **Settings** → **Sender accounts**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a new account">
    Click **+ Connect** in the top-right → pick **LinkedIn**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the owner (admin only)">
    If you're a Workspace Admin and your team has multiple members, you can pick who owns this sender. Solo workspace = skip.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in on LinkedIn">
    You'll be redirected to LinkedIn's login page. Sign in with the account you want to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Come back to Guhan">
    LinkedIn redirects you back. You'll see "Finishing setup…" for 1-2 seconds while Guhan verifies the connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the sender is active">
    Your sender account should now show up with a green **Active** dot. If it says **Warming up**, that's normal — new accounts start at 30% pace.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Guhan checks

Right after connect, Guhan pulls:

* Your LinkedIn name + profile URL
* Your account age
* Your connection count (>150 = eligible to skip warm-up)
* Whether Sales Navigator is enabled

You'll see all of this in the sender's detail row.

## Sales Navigator

If your account has Sales Navigator, Guhan will use it for higher-quality searches automatically. You don't need to do anything — just connect the account.

## What if the OAuth fails?

Common causes + fixes:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="'LinkedIn refused authorization'">
    Usually a browser cookie issue. Try in Incognito or a different browser.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="'Account already connected'">
    Somebody else in your workspace already connected this LinkedIn account. Contact them to reassign OR disconnect + reconnect.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="'Session expired'">
    LinkedIn's OAuth token expired mid-flow. Just retry.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Stuck on 'Finishing setup…' forever">
    LinkedIn's webhook may be delayed. Wait 60 seconds; the account will appear. If not, refresh and retry.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Warm-up

New sender accounts are **warmed up** for 30 days:

* Day 1–7: 30% of daily cap (7 invites/day, 9 DMs/day)
* Day 8–14: 50%
* Day 15–21: 75%
* Day 22–30: 90%
* Day 30+: 100%

If your account is > 30 days old AND has > 150 connections, Guhan skips warm-up entirely. You can verify from the sender's detail row — look for **Established** vs. **New account** tags.

## Setting the sending window

Every sender has an active-hours window. Default: 10am–6pm Mon–Sat, sender's timezone.

To adjust:

* Settings → Sender accounts → \[account] → **Schedule**
* Set start hour + end hour + which days
* Timezone is auto-detected from LinkedIn but overridable

<Warning>
  Narrower windows look more human but limit daily volume. If you set 10–11am only, Guhan can only send \~10 things per day.
</Warning>

## Multiple LinkedIn accounts

You can connect multiple LinkedIn accounts to the same workspace:

* Each has independent daily caps + sending window
* Assign each to different Outreach Agents (or the same one for rotation)
* Cost is per-workspace, not per-account — no extra fee for a second sender

## Disconnecting

Settings → Sender accounts → \[account] → **Disconnect**.

This:

* Immediately stops all sends via this account
* Pauses any in-flight sequence steps that were queued for this sender
* Preserves conversation history — replies received later still land in your Inbox

The prospect can no longer be contacted via this specific account, but you can attach a different LinkedIn sender to the same sequence and resume.
