Connected Accounts – Overview
Introduction
The Connected Accounts section is where you manage the LinkedIn profiles connected to your ConnectSafely workspace. These accounts power all automation, engagement, and outreach activities.
This article explains what connected accounts are and how they work at a high level.
What Is a Connected Account?
A connected account is a LinkedIn profile that you authorize ConnectSafely to use for automation.
Each connected account:
- Operates independently
- Has its own safety limits
- Uses a dedicated proxy location
- Runs activities based on your configuration
Why Connected Accounts Matter
Connected accounts are essential because they:
- Enable automation at scale
- Allow multi-account management
- Provide geographic flexibility
- Manage different clients or personas
- Maintain account safety through controlled activity limits
They are the foundation of all automation inside ConnectSafely.
Account Usage Limits
Your plan defines:
- How many accounts you can connect
- Whether additional accounts can be added
The account usage indicator helps you track your available capacity at a glance.
Account Status and Health
Each account shows its current status:
- Active: Ready for automation
- Paused: Temporarily stopped
- Disconnected: Needs reconnection
- Flagged: Requires attention
Regular monitoring helps maintain healthy automation performance.
