This article will walk you through connecting and managing LinkedIn accounts connected to your We-Connect profile. You can follow along with the steps below:
If you're looking to manage a team account with other connected users (not profiles), this article may be helpful.
Connect a LinkedIn Profile to We-Connect
To add a LinkedIn account to your We-Connect plan, navigate to "LinkedIn Accounts" in the settings menu. From here, you can manage your current accounts and add new ones.
Click "Add New" from the LinkedIn Accounts page. You can also find an "Add New" button from your profile photo between dark/light mode and the notifications bell.
The connection flow has three steps:
Step 1 of 3: Connect your LinkedIn account
Enter your LinkedIn email and password. Check the confirmation box to verify these are the same credentials you use to log in to LinkedIn, then click Continue.
Your login credentials are encrypted using industry-standard protocols and all data transmission is secured with SSL/TLS encryption. You can disconnect your LinkedIn account at any time from your account settings.
Step 2 of 3: Configure account settings
Set your location, timezone, and preferred connection settings.
Time Zone: Select the timezone you will use for sending your campaigns. You can change it later from the settings page if needed.
Sleep hours: Set the hours during which We-Connect will stop syncing with your LinkedIn account. The default is 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM based on your selected timezone. Sleep mode adds an extra layer of protection for your LinkedIn account.
IP address selection: Choose between "Use We-Connect's IP" or "Use my own IP."
Use We-Connect's IP: Select your location and We-Connect will automatically assign you a dedicated IP address based on it.
Use my own IP (BYOIP): If you prefer to use your own proxy IP, select this option and enter the IP address, port number, username, and password from your proxy provider. For more information about BYOIP, please read this article.
Step 3 of 3: Sync LinkedIn 2FA with We-Connect
You will be asked if you want to sync your LinkedIn two-factor authentication (2FA) with We-Connect. Syncing 2FA enhances the security of your account and ensures uninterrupted performance while using We-Connect's automation tools.
"Yes, I'm In": Set up 2FA sync now (recommended). For the full setup walkthrough, see How to Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
Skip: Skip this step for now. You can set it up later from your account settings.
Once complete, We-Connect will sync with your LinkedIn profile. Syncing can take a few minutes as We-Connect imports all current network connections.
Edit a Previously Connected LinkedIn Account
You can edit any LinkedIn account by clicking the 'edit' icon in the actions column on your 'LinkedIn Accounts’ settings page. Follow along with the instructions below:
Step 1: Navigate to 'LinkedIn Accounts' in the settings.
Step 2: Click the 'edit' icon of the account you want to edit.
Upon clicking the edit icon, you'll be taken to the LinkedIn profile information. From this page, you can edit the time zone, location, sleep hours, and update your LinkedIn password or email.
Remove a LinkedIn Account
To remove a LinkedIn account, you will also need to start from the 'LinkedIn Accounts' tab.
Step 1: Navigate to the 'LinkedIn Accounts' page in the settings menu.
Step 2: Click the 'Delete' icon in the furthest column to the right in the 'LinkedIn Accounts' table.
Please note that removing a LinkedIn profile will also delete all associated data and campaigns but will not downgrade your subscription for that seat.
Pause Multiple LinkedIn Accounts
You can also pause (and resume) one or multiple LinkedIn accounts connected to your We-Connect subscription. To pause a specific account, select the LinkedIn account you want to pause from the 'LinkedIn Accounts' table and click and click the relevant icon in the 'Actions' column.
Please note that pausing a campaign will not pause your monthly subscription.
How To Switch Between LinkedIn Profiles
You can easily switch between LinkedIn profiles without logging in or out from We-Connect or any account.
Step 1: Hover over your profile icon in the upper right corner of We-Connect.
You can click on the profile icon from any page or tab of We-Connect.
Step 2: Choose the profile you want to access.
When you click a profile, We-Connect opens that user's dashboard. If you have changed your password or updated your login information, you will have to reconnect that profile.
