Connect your LinkedIn account to OutreachFox (safety limits, what actions are supported)

LinkedIn Outreach and Multi Channel Outreach campaigns run actions from your own LinkedIn profile. Before you can select a LinkedIn account in a campaign, you connect it once under Settings. This article covers the connection, the daily limits OutreachFox applies to keep the account safe, and which actions a sequence can perform.

Prerequisites

• A LinkedIn account in good standing that you have used normally for at least a few weeks (a brand-new profile is restricted quickly).
• Two-factor authentication details handy if enabled on the account.
• Optional: LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator; both raise the practical limits.

Steps

1. Click Settings in the bottom-left of the left nav.
2. Open the LinkedIn Accounts section and click Connect LinkedIn Account.
3. Sign in with your LinkedIn email and password in the window that opens. If LinkedIn asks for a verification code, enter it.
4. OutreachFox connects through a dedicated proxy located in your country so LinkedIn sees a consistent location. Confirm the country if prompted.
5. Set the daily limits for this account (see recommended values below) and click Save.
6. The account shows as Connected with its daily limits. It is now selectable as the LinkedIn Account when you build a LinkedIn or multi-channel campaign.

Supported actions in a sequence

• Connection Request — with or without a note (300-character limit).
• Message — to first-degree connections (after an accepted request).
• Like Latest Post — likes the prospect's most recent post.
• View Profile — a visit that appears in the prospect's "who viewed your profile".
• Follow — follows the profile without a request.
• Condition — wait N days/hours, then branch on accepted / not accepted (and replied / not replied for messages).
• InMail and Sales Navigator-only actions depend on the account's subscription.

Recommended daily limits

OutreachFox spreads actions across the sending schedule with random gaps rather than firing them in a burst.

Tips

• One LinkedIn account should be connected to one outreach tool only. Two tools acting on the same account is the fastest route to a restriction.
• Keep using LinkedIn normally (posting, replying) from the same device and location; a profile that only ever sends requests looks like a bot.
• Withdraw pending requests older than 3–4 weeks. A large pending pile lowers acceptance and triggers LinkedIn's weekly cap sooner.
• If LinkedIn shows a "we've restricted your account" warning, pause all LinkedIn campaigns for a week, then resume at half the previous limits.
• Reconnect after changing your LinkedIn password; the session is invalidated.

Troubleshooting

• Connection fails at verification — LinkedIn sent the code to the email or authenticator app on the account; enter it within a few minutes. Try again from the Settings page if it timed out.
• Account shows Disconnected — the session expired or LinkedIn asked for a fresh login. Click Reconnect. Campaign steps queue until reconnected.
• Actions run but nothing appears on LinkedIn — the daily limit is set to 0 for that action, or the sending schedule has no active hours today.
• "Weekly invitation limit reached" — LinkedIn's own cap (about 100 requests per week). Lower the daily limit; requests resume when the week rolls over.
