Connect your LinkedIn account

Open LinkedIn accounts in the sidebar, click Connect LinkedIn account and log in to LinkedIn on the secure page that opens. You come back to useArtemis a few seconds later with the account ready for your campaigns. useArtemis never sees or stores your LinkedIn password.

Before you start

• You need a subscription or a running free trial. The free trial includes one LinkedIn account. On AppSumo Lifetime plans, connecting LinkedIn is locked (see Plan requirements below).
• Any LinkedIn account works, free or Premium. Premium accounts can write longer invitation notes (see LinkedIn sending limits).
• Keep your phone close if your LinkedIn account uses two-step verification: LinkedIn may ask for a code.

Connect your account

1. In the sidebar, under Outreach, click LinkedIn accounts. You can also go to Settings › LinkedIn accounts.

2. Click Connect LinkedIn account.

   

3. On the secure connection page that opens, log in with your LinkedIn email and password.

4. If LinkedIn asks for a verification code or a security check, complete it on that same page.

5. You're sent back to LinkedIn accounts. A LinkedIn account connected message appears and the banner Finishing your LinkedIn connection… stays visible while setup completes.

6. After a few seconds, the account shows up under Connected accounts with the Connected status.

The Connect LinkedIn step of the Get started with useArtemis checklist on Home opens the same page.

How the secure connection works

The login page is run by our LinkedIn connection partner, not inside useArtemis. You type your password there, and useArtemis only receives a working connection to your account. Two-step verification codes and LinkedIn security checks are handled on that page too.

Once connected, useArtemis imports your name, photo, headline and profile link. A Premium badge appears on the card if your account has LinkedIn Premium. Inbox sync is turned on automatically, so your LinkedIn conversations start appearing in the Inbox.

What useArtemis can do with the account

useArtemis only acts when one of your campaign steps runs, or when you reply from the Inbox, and always within the sending limits of the account. It can:

• visit a lead's profile (the lead sees your visit, like a normal one)
• send invitations, with or without a note
• send messages and voice notes to your 1st-degree connections
• like a lead's latest post
• withdraw pending invitations
• read your one-to-one conversations to show them in the Inbox, and detect replies and accepted invitations so your sequences react to them
• send the replies you write in the Inbox

LinkedIn Recruiter features aren't used.

The account card

Each connected account has its own card on LinkedIn accounts:

• Status badge: Connected when everything works. Hover it to see when the status last changed.
• Limits row: Invites / day, Messages / day, Visits / day, Likes / day and Invites / week. Click it to edit the limits.
• Sync inbox: fetches your latest LinkedIn conversations right away.
• Keep the inbox in sync: when it's on and the account is connected, Real-time sync shows that new messages arrive instantly.
• The ⋯ menu: Edit sending limits, Edit AI persona, Open on LinkedIn and Remove account.

If the badge turns red (for example Reconnection needed or Restricted by LinkedIn), a Reconnect button appears on the card. See Fix a disconnected LinkedIn account.

Plan requirements

• Free trial: you can connect one LinkedIn account, and it sends with reduced daily limits until your subscription starts. The page shows Free trial: one LinkedIn account, reduced daily limits. Once that account is connected, clicking Connect LinkedIn account opens Start your subscription to connect another LinkedIn account: click Start my subscription now to start paying right away (your card on file is charged for the Starter plan within 24 hours), connect more accounts and use your full limits. Reconnecting your account doesn't count as a new one. See Free trial.

  

• AppSumo Lifetime: the page shows LinkedIn automation isn't included in your plan and there's no connect button. Connecting LinkedIn and running campaigns need a subscription plan. See AppSumo codes.

• Number of accounts: Starter includes 2 LinkedIn accounts, Scale 5 and Agency 10. See Use several LinkedIn accounts and pricing.

If the connection doesn't work

• LinkedIn connection failed / Your account was not connected. Please try again.: the login wasn't completed on the secure page (closed early, wrong code, security check not finished). Click Connect LinkedIn account and try again.
• Still finishing the connection: the account is taking longer than usual to appear. Refresh the page after a minute.
• Could not start the LinkedIn connection: the secure page couldn't be opened. Try again in a moment.
• An upgrade window opens instead of the login page: your plan doesn't include LinkedIn, or your free trial already has its LinkedIn account (see above).

If it still fails, write to hello@useartemis.co with the LinkedIn profile you're trying to connect.

FAQ

Do you store my LinkedIn password?

No. You enter it on the secure connection page, never in useArtemis, and we don't keep a copy.

Can I still connect with my LinkedIn cookie, my password in the app or the Chrome extension?

No. These old connection methods are closed. The secure connection is the only way to connect LinkedIn. Accounts connected the old way show Reconnection needed and a Switch to secure connection button: see Fix a disconnected LinkedIn account.

What happens if I connect the same LinkedIn profile twice?

useArtemis recognizes the profile and updates the existing card instead of adding a duplicate.
