Tips
We recommend connecting using Browser Cookies whenever possible.
Keep your LinkedIn session active when copying cookies.
If you reconnect using Browser Cookies, always generate a fresh cookie instead of reusing an older one.
If you're using a proxy, verify the connection before attempting to connect your LinkedIn account.
Each connected LinkedIn account maintains its own daily limits, working hours, and analytics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which connection method should I use?
We recommend Browser Cookies for most users. It uses your existing LinkedIn session, avoids additional login verification, and is less likely to trigger LinkedIn security checks.
Is my LinkedIn password or cookie secure?
Yes. Outboundry encrypts your credentials. Browser cookies are never stored in plain text, and passwords are encrypted and never exposed.
My cookie isn't working. What should I do?
Your LinkedIn session may have expired.
Sign in to LinkedIn again, copy a fresh cookie using the Copy Cookies extension, and reconnect your account.
Do I need to use a proxy?
No. Using a proxy is optional and is only available when connecting with LinkedIn credentials.
Can I connect multiple LinkedIn accounts?
Yes. You can connect multiple LinkedIn accounts to the same workspace. Each account has its own activity limits, schedule, timezone, and performance statistics, allowing you to use different accounts across your campaigns.
