# How do I connect LinkedIn and send LinkedIn outreach? > Connect a LinkedIn account with a paid Warmerly Link slot, add it to a campaign as a sender, and send connection requests and messages within safe daily limits. Source: https://warmerly.com/docs/help/linkedin-outreach You connect a LinkedIn account from **Accounts**, then use it in a campaign as a sender. Each connected LinkedIn account needs its own paid slot, called a **Warmerly Link** slot. LinkedIn is not included in any base plan, and there is no free trial for it. Warmerly acts through your own LinkedIn profile, so the connection requests and messages come from you. For the price, see [Plans & limits](https://warmerly.com/docs/plans-and-limits) or the [pricing page](https://warmerly.com/pricing). For how slots work, see [Channel accounts: paid slots and overage](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/channel-slots). ## Connect a LinkedIn account 1. Open **Accounts** and click **Add**. 2. Under "Or add another channel", choose **LinkedIn account**. 3. The screen shows how many paid LinkedIn slots you are using. If every slot is taken (or you have none), the button becomes a purchase button instead. Buy a slot first, then come back. 4. Sign in to LinkedIn. Depending on how LinkedIn connections are available to your account, you either type your LinkedIn email and password into Warmerly's own form (Warmerly stores the password encrypted so it can sign back in for you if your session expires, and disconnecting the account deletes it) and enter the code LinkedIn sends if it asks for one, or click **Continue to LinkedIn** and sign in on LinkedIn's own screen. Approve the login on your phone if LinkedIn asks. 5. You return to **Accounts**, where the account is listed under the **LinkedIn** tab as **Active**. Only people with billing permission in the workspace can buy a slot. Inside an Agency client workspace, slots are bought in the main (parent) workspace. ## What you see on the LinkedIn tab Each connected account shows its name, headline, a **Premium** badge if the LinkedIn account has a paid LinkedIn plan, its send window (hours and timezone), and two bars: - **Connections**: connection requests sent today against the account's daily limit. - **Messages**: direct messages sent today against the account's daily limit. Buttons on the right reconnect or disconnect the account. A **LinkedIn warmup settings** section under each account controls warmup (see [LinkedIn warmup](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/linkedin-warmup)). Warmerly also applies a separate safety budget per account, so a send can wait even when the bars show room. See "Daily limits" below. ## Send outreach in a campaign 1. Create or open a campaign (see [Launch your first campaign](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/launch-first-campaign)). 2. In the **Sequence** editor, add **LI Connection** (a connection request) and **LI Message** (a direct message) steps. A connection request note is optional. 3. Open the campaign's **Senders** tab. Under **LinkedIn accounts**, pick your account from "Add a LinkedIn account" and add it. Without a sender, LinkedIn steps cannot run. 4. Get leads that have a LinkedIn profile into the campaign, for example with [Warmerly Link](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/warmerly-link). A lead with no LinkedIn profile is skipped on a message step. 5. Launch. The launch checklist blocks the campaign if a LinkedIn step has no sender or no active Warmerly Link slot. A campaign can mix email and LinkedIn steps in one sequence. Replies from LinkedIn arrive in the shared **Inbox** next to your email conversations. ## Daily limits Every LinkedIn action draws from one daily budget per account, shared by warmup and campaigns. The budget grows as the account builds up activity, so a new account starts small on purpose. - Connection requests: up to 10 a day on a normal LinkedIn account and 20 a day on LinkedIn Premium, at full pace. A weekly ceiling applies on top (50 on a normal account, 100 on Premium). - Messages: up to 50 a day at full pace. - The budget starts at a fraction of full pace and rises over roughly three weeks. Connection requests start at half their ceiling and reach it by about day 15. When the budget for the day is used up, remaining steps wait and resume the next day. Nothing is lost. For campaign sending, the ramp follows whichever is further on: the days LinkedIn warmup has run, or the days since you connected the account, so an account used only for campaigns still climbs. Turning warmup on can move it forward faster. See [LinkedIn warmup](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/linkedin-warmup). These limits protect your LinkedIn account. They cannot be raised past the safe maximums, and support cannot lift them. ## My LinkedIn account shows Disconnected The status on each account is **Active**, **Reconnecting** or **Disconnected**. Disconnected means LinkedIn stopped accepting Warmerly's session, usually because the LinkedIn password changed, the account logged out everywhere, or LinkedIn asked for an extra verification step. 1. Open **Accounts**, then the **LinkedIn** tab. 2. Click **Reconnect** on the account. 3. Sign in on LinkedIn's screen again and approve the login on your phone if asked. Reconnecting repairs the same account in place, so your warmup settings and campaign links stay. Warmerly also re-checks accounts that are not Active whenever you open the tab, so a stale Disconnected label can fix itself. While an account is disconnected, its warmup and campaign steps do not run. ## Disconnect or remove an account Click the bin icon on the account and confirm. Warmerly stops using it and removes it from your workspace. The slot it used becomes free, so you can connect a different LinkedIn account with it. Disconnecting does not cancel the slot subscription, so you keep paying for the slot until you cancel it. ## Common problems - **A purchase button instead of Continue to LinkedIn.** You have no free slot. Buy one from the wizard or from **Settings > Usage & limits** (the Warmerly Link slots card). - **LinkedIn did not accept the email or password.** Check them and try again. - **LinkedIn wants an extra verification step.** Open the LinkedIn app, approve the login, then try again. - **Too many attempts.** Wait a few minutes before trying again. - **Campaign not sending on LinkedIn.** Check that the account is Active, is added on the Senders tab, its slot is not past due or ended, and your workspace is not billing-locked. A billing-locked workspace pauses LinkedIn warmup and campaign sending along with email. - **The slot ended.** When a slot subscription ends, Warmerly disconnects and removes the linked LinkedIn account at that point. Cancelling a slot keeps it working until the end of the period you already paid for. ## More in LinkedIn outreach - [What is LinkedIn warmup and how do I turn it on?](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/linkedin-warmup): LinkedIn warmup gradually builds human-looking activity on your LinkedIn account so outreach does not get it… - [What is Warmerly Link?](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/warmerly-link): Warmerly Link is the LinkedIn side of Warmerly: a paid slot per LinkedIn account, and the LinkedIn search… - [Channel accounts: paid slots and overage](https://warmerly.com/docs/help/channel-slots): How LinkedIn (Warmerly Link) accounts are paid for: one paid slot per LinkedIn account.
