If you didn\u2019t pause it yourself, there may be an issue that needs your attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Reasons why LinkedIn automation isn\u2019t working<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s review the most common issues and how to resolve them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Connection with the LinkedIn account was lost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your LinkedIn account disconnects from Snov.io, your campaign will pause because there\u2019s no active account to perform actions. When this happens, you\u2019ll see a notification about the error on the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign list<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To fix this issue, go to your <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/linkedin-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn account settings<\/a> in Snov.io and reconnect your account. Then, manually change the campaign status to <strong>Active<\/strong> to restart the automation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notification-block learn\">\n<div class=\"notification-block__icon\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/themes\/knowledgebase-n\/assets\/img\/fluent_chat-warning-16-regular.svg\" alt=\"learn\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"notification-block__text\">\n<p>To prevent interruptions in the automation, <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-use-linkedin-rotation-in-campaigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">add multiple accounts to LinkedIn rotation<\/a>. This way, if one account disconnects, you can assign the other account as a backup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>2) Sender LinkedIn account was deleted from Snovio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you delete the LinkedIn account from Snov.io, the automation using that account will stop.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/linkedin-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available LinkedIn slot<\/a>, you can reconnect with the same account or add a different one.<\/p>\n<p>To restart automation, add a sender LinkedIn account in the paused <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign\u2019s settings<\/a>, then change the campaign status to <strong>Active<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Your LinkedIn slot expired<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your LinkedIn slot expires, any automations using that account will stop. Renew access to your slot on the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/linkedin-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn accounts<\/a> list.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure your slots extend automatically, enable automatic renewal for your LinkedIn add-on in <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/billing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the billing settings.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To restart LinkedIn automation, change the status of the paused campaign to <strong>Active<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Your Team leader withdrew your LinkedIn slot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your team leader granted you the slot where your account is connected, any automations using that account will stop if access to the slot is revoked.<\/p>\n<p>Check with your team leader about slot access or <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/linkedin-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get your personal LinkedIn slot<\/a> in account settings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-use-linkedin-automation-in-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about sharing LinkedIn slots in Teams.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Sender LinkedIn account reached weekly limits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn sets weekly limits on the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/blog\/linkedin-invitation-limit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">connection requests<\/a> and messages that can be sent. This directly affects your limit for LinkedIn automation actions in Snov.io.<\/p>\n<p>If your LinkedIn account, used for sending requests, reaches <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/blog\/linkedin-invitation-limit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the weekly invitation limit<\/a>, the campaign will pause.<\/p>\n<p>Snov.io will notify you on the campaign page when this happens. Once LinkedIn resets your limits (usually on Mondays), manually set the campaign status to <strong>Active<\/strong> to resume automation.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how to safely increase your LinkedIn limits <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-increase-your-linkedin-limits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in this knowledge base article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Your LinkedIn profile requires verification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If LinkedIn requests that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/answer\/a1359065?_l=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">verify your identity<\/a>, your account will be temporarily locked, which will pause any campaigns using it. Snov.io won\u2019t be able to access it for automation.<\/p>\n<p>Complete the verification as required by LinkedIn. Once done, <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/linkedin-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check your account status<\/a> in Snov.io.<\/p>\n<p>If the connection is inactive, go to settings, select the <strong>Reconnect<\/strong> option, and enter the verification code to restore it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Sender LinkedIn account was blocked or restricted<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn may have temporarily restricted your account due to suspicious activity.<\/p>\n<p>While your LinkedIn account is restricted, Snovio cannot perform the automation and will pause it.<\/p>\n<p>Check your LinkedIn profile for notifications regarding your account status. <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/why-linkedin-accounts-get-restricted-or-blocked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn why LinkedIn accounts are restricted<\/a> and how to avoid it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notification-block tip\">\n<div class=\"notification-block__icon\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/themes\/knowledgebase-n\/assets\/img\/academicons_ideas-repec.svg\" alt=\"tip\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"notification-block__text\">\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Connect multiple LinkedIn accounts and <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-use-linkedin-rotation-in-campaigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">add them to rotation within the same campaign<\/a>. If one account experiences issues, you can use an alternative account as a backup to keep the automation running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>8) The LinkedIn automation is on hold due to settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your campaign shows as <strong>Active<\/strong> but no actions are being performed, it\u2019s likely due to your settings.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure your sequence isn\u2019t on hold due to incorrect settings. Check if there\u2019s a <strong>Delay<\/strong> step (a waiting time before the next action) or if the sequence is waiting for the sending window (scheduled time) to start.<\/p>\n<p>If an issue persists, please contact our support team for assistance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) The LinkedIn automation is paused for the recipient because of an email error<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a multichannel sequence (email + LinkedIn actions), if an issue with your email account occurs, the LinkedIn automation will still continue. Likewise, if a connection is lost with your LinkedIn account, the email sequence will continue.<\/p>\n<p>This makes a multichannel campaign the best choice to make sure your outreach never interrupts.<\/p>\n<p>To resolve this issue, check your <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/email-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email account status<\/a>, reconnect or adjust settings as necessary, and manually restart the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s one exception to this: if an email bounces for a specific recipient, the automation for that prospect will stop. To resume it, go to the <strong>Recipients<\/strong> tab and manually change their status to <strong>Active<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notification-block note-gray\">\n<div class=\"notification-block__text\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/why-linkedin-accounts-get-restricted-or-blocked\/\">Learn why LinkedIn accounts are restricted<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-increase-your-linkedin-limits\/\">How to increase your LinkedIn limits<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-use-linkedin-rotation-in-campaigns\/\">How to use LinkedIn Rotation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, you\u2019ll learn why your LinkedIn automation may stop and how to fix it.
