How to connect your LinkedIn account to Snov.io

Step 1: Add LinkedIn slots

Step 2: Connect LinkedIn accounts

Step 3: Set daily action limits

Step 4: Check SSI score

After connecting your LinkedIn profile to Snovio, you'll be able to create automated sequences of LinkedIn actions and multichannel campaigns.

Step 1: Add LinkedIn slots

To connect a LinkedIn account, you'll need to add a LinkedIn slot in your Snov.io settings.

Add slots on the LinkedIn accounts page. The number of slots you need depends on the number of profiles you want to use as senders in campaigns.

The LinkedIn Automation add-on lets you use multiple LinkedIn accounts in a single campaign. You can add several accounts as senders and rotate them automatically. To connect more accounts, activate additional slots. Learn how to use LinkedIn rotation in this article.

LinkedIn slots have prorated billing: you pay for the slot, not per account connection. This means you can change the connected account up to 3 times a month. Each slot includes a dedicated location-based proxy.

Step 2: Connect LinkedIn account

After activating a slot, click Connect.

In the pop-up window, you'll be prompted to add your account settings.

Login information

Enter the email address and password you use to log in to your LinkedIn profile. Your credentials are required to establish the connection and access your account while your LinkedIn automation is in progress.

Location

In the location settings, choose the country where you usually access your LinkedIn account —this could be where you live or work. After you connect your account, you can update your location up to three times per month to match your current location. This may be useful if you travel for work and use LinkedIn from other countries. The location you select here will determine the default proxy assigned to your connection.

Proxy server

To ensure the automation is safe for your account, there's a proxy setting.

Proxy is a special server through which your account will work when automating actions. Snov.io uses a secure proxy with a dedicated IP address for every connection by default.

This creates a unique activity pattern for your account while performing LinkedIn actions. It also helps keep the automation aligned with your usual location, reducing the chances of detection.

Click Connect after filling out all required fields.

To verify the connection, you may need to enter a verification code. Depending on your two-factor authentication settings, LinkedIn will send this code to your email address via SMS or your authenticator app.

Step 3: Set daily action limits

After the connection is complete, your account will show up in the list on the LinkedIn accounts page. There you can review a summary of daily activities and a connection status.

You can adjust the account limits for automation. Click the Edit limits icon to open the settings.

LinkedIn accounts have limits on all activities, especially connection requests and messages. The recommended safe limit is up to 30 actions per day.

In the settings, set the limit for each action your account can perform per day in campaigns. Once it reaches this limit, the automation will pause until the next day.

New LinkedIn accounts will be in the safe mode to ensure you start the automation within the recommended limits (20 per day for each action).

The maximum limit for each action is 50 per day — set this limit at your own risk. If you set maximum limits from day one, this may lead to your account being restricted by LinkedIn. Only increase the limits based on the account's SSI score.

Step 4: Check your SSI score (Social Selling Index)

Since LinkedIn doesn’t publicly share specific daily limits, use your SSI score to set recommended safe limits. Following these limits reduces the risk of getting banned by LinkedIn.

A higher score allows you to set higher limits for actions. Only set limits higher than 30 after your SSI score is above 40 or you have a premium LinkedIn account.

• 0-20 points = 10 per each action;
• 21-40 points = 20 per each action;
• 41-100 points = 30 per each action.

Snov.io automatically detects and updates your SSI score. This score reflects your LinkedIn account's reputation. Monitor it for each of your accounts and adjust daily limits as it grows.

The SSI (Social Selling Index) score is calculated based on four key factors.

These factors together improve your SSI score:

• Your activity – How consistent your activity is. Create regular posts, participate in discussions and comment on others’ posts. LinkedIn automation safely grows your activity and presence on the platform through viewing and following profiles, and post likes.
• Engagement – How much interaction your posts and profile receive, including likes, comments and shares. Share your opinions, unique stories, or insights from personal experiences, this always gets more attention.
• Network quality – How well your connections match your industry and target audience. Focus on meaningful connections, rather than just growing their number.
• Profile completeness – How complete and optimized your LinkedIn profile is, including your headline, summary, skills and experience. Clearly showcase who you are and what you do.

Now that your LinkedIn account is connected, you can launch LinkedIn campaigns and multichannel sequences that combine emails and LinkedIn actions.
