Complete Tutorial: Connecting Your LinkedIn Profile to HeyReach

The following tutorial is provided directly from HeyReach's official documentation and is reproduced to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Step 0: Access HeyReach Through Your Secured Rep Workspace

Critical First Step: Before connecting your LinkedIn profile to HeyReach, you must access the HeyReach platform through your GoLogin browser that's configured for your LinkedSDR representative.

Why This Matters:

Maintains consistent browser fingerprinting and IP location
Prevents LinkedIn from detecting unusual access patterns
Ensures seamless integration without triggering security alerts

Setup Process:

Launch your GoLogin browser (part of your Secured Rep Workspace)
Navigate to HeyReach.io within this secured browser environment
Log into your HeyReach account using the secured session
Proceed with LinkedIn profile connection following the official HeyReach instructions

Note: The complete step-by-step connection process (Option 1: Credential Method and Option 2: HeyReach Login) is available in HeyReach's official documentation at help.heyreach.io. Follow their detailed tutorial for connecting your LinkedIn account, handling OTP/PIN verification, and completing the setup process.

Setting Up Your LinkedIn Account Connection

Setting up a LinkedIn account is very easy. There are two ways you can set up your LinkedIn account.

Option 1: Connect by Entering Your LinkedIn Credentials

This is the preferred way to connect your LinkedIn accounts, as it allows us to auto-relogin when the session ends, which means your LinkedIn account will never disconnect.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Navigate to Connection Setup

To connect your LinkedIn account, navigate to the LinkedIn Account section and click the "Connect Account" option.

‍

2. Enter Credentials Securely

To manually set up your account, fill in the valid and registered LinkedIn email and LinkedIn password section.

‍

Security Note: HeyReach hashes your credentials, so they are perfectly safe, and nobody can see and access them.

3. Configure Inbox Privacy Settings

To continue you need to select the Inbox privacy configuration.

Available Options:

Track and import all LinkedIn conversations
Track only conversations started from HeyReach

Important: "Track and import all LinkedIn conversations" means that you will get only those conversations that happened in the last 30 days. You'll also get all future conversations. This is a super important privacy feature that allows you to protect your private LinkedIn conversations from being accessed by the other members of your organization.

4. Wait for Background Processing

The login action can take from 1 to 4 minutes, and will be done in the background - so you don't have to wait on this screen.

5. Monitor Connection Status

When the connecting starts, the status of the LinkedIn account will be 'Connecting' until it changes to any other status indicating further input.

Handling OTP & PIN

The next input to continue further is the PIN code required. The status of the LinkedIn sender will change to 'PIN required' and then you need to click on the 'Enter PIN' section and provide the valid and newest PIN code.

‍

PIN Code Sources:

Email Inbox: PINs sent via email are valid for 15 minutes
SMS: PINs sent via SMS are valid for 15 minutes
Google Authenticator: PINs are valid for 30 seconds

Completion Process: Insert the PIN code you received and click the "Submit" button. Once the PIN code is submitted, the LinkedIn sender will go into 'Syncing' status and eventually connect successfully. The time to sync could take from a couple of seconds to a maximum of 15 minutes.

Success Indicator: The LinkedIn sender once successfully connected to HeyReach will be displayed with 'Available' status.

Option 2: Connect by HeyReach Extension

If you don't feel comfortable sharing your LinkedIn credentials, or the standard login doesn't work for your LinkedIn account at the moment, feel free to use the HeyReach Extension Login option.

Setup Process:

1. Install Browser Extension

First, you will need to install the HeyReach Login extension.

2. Access Connection Interface

When you have the login installed, go back to HeyReach and click on "Link Account". Select the "Connect via our HeyReach Login" button.

3. LinkedIn Account Verification

Next, you need to log into the original LinkedIn account in a separate tab before going back to HeyReach.

4. Profile Confirmation

Next, you will see the LinkedIn account's profile picture and first name appearing on the screen, which will help you identify if the correct LinkedIn account is about to get connected to HeyReach.

5. Complete Connection

After this, click "Yes Connect", sit back, and relax.

6. Privacy Configuration

To continue you need to select the Inbox privacy configuration. (Same options as Option 1)

7. Final Synchronization

Next, the LinkedIn sender will go into 'Syncing' status and eventually connect successfully. The time to sync could take from a couple of seconds to a maximum of 15 minutes. The LinkedIn sender once successfully connected to HeyReach will be displayed with 'Available' status.

Integration Safety Protocols

Use Option 1 (credential method) for maximum reliability. This enables auto-relogin when sessions expire, preventing disconnections.

Configure inbox privacy to "Track only HeyReach conversations" - protects private LinkedIn conversations from team visibility.

Start conservative: Begin with 15-20 daily connections regardless of account capacity. New integrations require gradual ramp-up even with established accounts. LinkedIn monitors behavioral changes. Establish baseline over 2 weeks, then increase 5 connections weekly based on acceptance rates.

Monitor closely: Check connection status daily during first 14 days to catch issues early.

Performance Optimization

Track these key metrics to optimize campaign performance:

Metric	Target Range	Action if Below Target
Connection Acceptance Rate	20-25%	Improve personalization, reduce daily volume
Reply Rate (of accepted)	30-35%	Revise messaging, test different value propositions
Meeting Booking Rate	5-8% of replies	Strengthen CTA, qualify prospects better
Daily Activity	15-25 connections	Scale up gradually based on acceptance rates

Optimization approach:

Run weekly A/B tests on message sequences across similar profiles. Compare acceptance rates by send timing (time of day, day of week). Test geographic targeting alignment - match profile locations to prospect regions. Ensure industry alignment between profile professional background and target industries.

Review and adjust bi-weekly during first 2 months, then monthly once performance stabilizes.

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue	Cause	Solution
Connection fails	Incorrect credentials or expired session	Verify credentials by manual login, reconnect through GoLogin
"PIN Required" status	2FA verification needed	Enter PIN from email/SMS/authenticator within validity window
Low acceptance rates	Aggressive daily limits or poor targeting	Reduce to 10-15 daily, improve message personalization
Detection warnings	Exceeding natural activity limits	Pause automation 48-72 hours, reduce limits by 30%

Integration Workflow for Agencies

Setup Time Requirements

Operation Scale	Time Required	Key Steps
Single Representative (1-4)	30-45 min per profile	Launch GoLogin → Access HeyReach → Connect → Configure privacy → Set limits → Create campaign
Small Batch (5-10)	2-3 hours total	Standardize configs → Document credentials → Batch connect → Unified templates → Monitor setup
Large Scale (10-50)	6-8 hours total	Create templates → Secure documentation → Systematic connection → Campaign deployment → Dashboard setup

Ongoing Management

Daily (30 minutes): Check connection status across all profiles. Review security alerts. Monitor acceptance rate trends.

Weekly (2 hours): Analyze campaign performance metrics. Adjust messaging based on response data. Update targeting parameters for underperforming profiles.

Monthly (4 hours): Comprehensive performance review across all profiles. A/B test new sequences against control groups. Optimize daily limits based on 30-day performance data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it safe to provide LinkedIn credentials to HeyReach?

A: Yes. HeyReach hashes credentials for security. Option 1 (credential method) enables auto-relogin, preventing disconnections when sessions expire. This is the recommended approach for enterprise operations.

Q: Can I connect multiple LinkedSDR representatives from the same browser?

A: No. Each LinkedSDR representative requires their own isolated GoLogin browser configuration to maintain proper fingerprinting and infrastructure security. Create separate browser profiles for each representative before connecting to HeyReach.

Q: What happens if I get a LinkedIn automation detection warning?

A: Detection warnings are early alerts, not immediate restrictions. Immediately pause all automation, reduce daily limits to 10-15 connections, and verify you're accessing through proper anti-detection browser. Contact HeyReach support for optimization guidance.

Q: Can I change automation settings after connecting my profile?

A: Yes. Adjust daily limits, message sequences, and targeting anytime. Start conservatively (15-20 connections daily) then gradually increase based on acceptance rates and platform feedback over 2-3 weeks.

Q: How do I monitor profile health during automation?

A: Track three key metrics daily:

Connection acceptance rate (target: 20-25%)
Message response rate (target: 30%+ of accepted)
Security alerts or warnings (target: zero)

HeyReach provides detailed analytics, but also manually check LinkedIn profile weekly for warnings.

Q: Can I pause automation without disconnecting my profile?

A: Yes. Pause campaigns anytime without disconnecting. Useful during holidays, when testing new sequences, or if you receive LinkedIn warnings requiring account "cooldown" period.

Q: What happens if connection fails during setup?

A: Common causes: incorrect credentials, expired sessions, or proxy conflicts. First, verify you're accessing HeyReach through correct GoLogin browser. Check credentials work via manual login. Contact HeyReach support with specific error messages if issues persist.

Q: Does HeyReach integration affect LinkedSDR's replacement guarantee?

A: No. The 48-hour replacement guarantee remains valid regardless of automation platform. If your LinkedSDR representative's account encounters issues, we provide an equivalent replacement that integrates seamlessly with existing HeyReach campaigns.

Q: What happens to my data if I disconnect a LinkedSDR representative?

A: HeyReach retains conversation history and campaign data after disconnection. When replacing a restricted account with a new LinkedSDR representative, you start with fresh automation setup while maintaining access to previous campaign analytics.
