You can connect LinkedIn accounts without any subscription to HeyReach, but before connecting a new LinkedIn account to HeyReach, ask yourself:
How old is the account?
Does it have any connections?
Is it linked to other automation tools?
Preparing New LinkedIn Accounts
If the LinkedIn account is new, whether it’s a free or premium account, it’s important to manually warm it up before connecting it to HeyReach. This helps protect the account from being flagged by LinkedIn.
Here's how to warm up manually 👇
Start with "Suggested" Connections: Send connection requests to profiles shown in LinkedIn’s "Suggested" section.
Reach 100 Connections: Keep sending manual requests until the account has at least 100 connections.
Connect the LinkedIn account to HeyReach 💪
After reaching 100 connections, you can link the account to HeyReach. Then, follow this schedule to slowly increase the number of connection requests you send each day:
Week 1: Send 5 connection requests per day.
Week 2: Increase to 10 requests per day.
Weeks 3, 4, 5 ...: Gradually raise this to 15–20 requests per day, aiming for 300–500 connections in total.
💡 Until you reach more than 1,000 connections:
Limit daily connection requests to 20–25 per day, even after the warm-up phase.
Avoid adding personal notes to connection requests to keep your activity simple and reduce risk.
Focus on connecting with 2nd-degree connections for natural and steady growth.
Why Avoid Using Multiple Automation Tools ❌
Using multiple tools simultaneously with HeyReach is risky because it can:
Cause conflicting actions, reducing campaign performance.
Lead to account instability or disconnections from HeyReach.
Stick to HeyReach as your only LinkedIn automation tool for optimal results.
Free LinkedIn account limitations set by LinkedIn:
Personalized Connection Requests: 5-10 personalized notes/ invites per month, each with a character limit of 200.
Messaging: You can only message your 1st-degree connections, as you don't have the InMail feature.
LinkedIn Search Bar: Basic search filters limited to location, current companies, and past companies.
🧠 If any of your sending accounts can't send a personalized note, HeyReach will send the connection request will be sent without a note.
