FAQ

How many LinkedIn accounts can I connect?

Depends on your plan. The total limit for the workspace is shown at the top of the Senders section (e.g. 6/25 slots used). Check your plan under Billing.

Which connection method is better — Credentials or Cookies?

Credentials is recommended — it's simpler and more reliable. Cookies is used when the account has two-factor authentication or when login via password is not available.

Where to find the li_at cookie value?

Open LinkedIn in your browser → DevTools (F12) → Application tab → Cookies → https://www.linkedin.com → copy the li_at value.

Do I need to enter li_a?

Only if the account has a Sales Navigator or Recruiter subscription. For regular LinkedIn accounts, li_at is sufficient.

What to do if the account shows a yellow indicator or connection error?

Click the account → Manage → Check Status. If the issue persists, try reconnecting via Delete Account and adding it again.

How to set a different schedule for different days?

Open account details → LinkedIn Limits → Settings tab → Working Hours → enable Per-day schedule and set hours for each day individually.

What happens when an account reaches its daily limit?

Automations for that account pause until the next day when limits reset. Enable Alerts at 80% to be notified in advance.
