LinkedIn Accounts
Connecting the sender accounts that deliver outreach and receive replies.
What Are LinkedIn Accounts?
LinkedIn accounts are the real sender accounts you connect to NetworkHQ. Once an account is connected, campaigns can use it to send connection requests, messages, and other outreach actions, then bring replies back into your NetworkHQ inbox.
You can connect one or more accounts depending on your team size and outreach volume. Each message still comes from a real person on your team, while NetworkHQ handles the research, personalization, timing, and workflow around it.
Why Connect Your Account?
NetworkHQ uses connected accounts for campaign actions and for account-bound audience signals. Campaigns send connection requests, deliver contextual messages, view profiles, and sync replies through the assigned sender.
Lead Gen Agents can run account-independent searches for tracked-post engagement, keyword engagement, recent job changes, funding, and recent LinkedIn posting. Profile-visitor and company-page audience signals require an eligible connected account, and campaigns need a connected sender before they can contact leads.
Signal Monitoring and Your Account
Some buying-signal monitoring runs independently of your connected LinkedIn account. This includes engagement with configured LinkedIn posts and keyword discussions, recent job changes, recent funding, and recent LinkedIn posting.
First-party audience collection is account-bound. Tracking who viewed a profile requires the corresponding connected Premium or Sales Navigator account. Company page visitors and followers require a connected account that administers the page; company-page visitor analytics also require LinkedIn Premium on the company page. Keep those accounts connected so the agent can continue collecting the selected audience signals.
How to Connect
Follow these steps to connect your LinkedIn account:
- 1
Go to the LinkedIn Accounts page
Click "LinkedIn Accounts" in the left sidebar of your dashboard.
- 2
Click "Connect Account"
This opens a form where you enter your LinkedIn login details.
- 3
Enter your LinkedIn email and password
These credentials are used to log in to your LinkedIn account securely.
- 4
Complete verification (if needed)
LinkedIn may send a verification code to your email or phone. If the status shows "Awaiting Code," enter the code when prompted.
- 5
You're connected
Once verified, the status changes to "Connected" and the account is ready to use in campaigns and sync replies.
Account Statuses
Each connected account shows a status so you know what's happening:
Connected
Everything is working. This account can send campaign actions and sync replies.
Connecting
The platform is in the process of logging in. This usually takes a few seconds.
Awaiting Code
LinkedIn is asking for a verification code. Check your email or phone and enter the code.
Disconnected
The account has been logged out. This can happen if LinkedIn ends the session. You may need to reconnect.
Error
Something went wrong during connection. Check the error message and try reconnecting.
Daily Limits
To keep your LinkedIn account safe, NetworkHQ limits how many actions it performs each day. Signal monitoring does not count against these limits; only campaign actions performed through the connected account do.
You can view and adjust these limits by clicking the settings icon next to each connected account. The platform tracks daily usage automatically and will pause when limits are reached.
We recommend keeping limits conservative, especially for newer LinkedIn accounts. You can gradually increase them over time.
Using Multiple Accounts
If you connect more than one LinkedIn account and assign them to a campaign, the platform automatically spreads the work across all of them evenly. This is called round-robin assignment.
For example, if you have 100 leads and 2 connected accounts, each account will handle about 50 leads. This is useful for teams or for reaching more people without overloading a single account.
Each lead is always handled by the same account throughout the entire campaign — the platform ensures consistency so the personalized outreach and every follow-up remain part of one natural conversation. Replies from all assigned accounts are available together in the inbox.
