A healthy LinkedIn connection in Yena

​
Before you start

  • Use the LinkedIn account you want candidates and clients to hear from.
  • Make sure you can sign in and complete any LinkedIn verification or two-factor prompt.
  • If LinkedIn is already showing a restriction or warning, resolve it before enabling campaign sending.

​
Connect LinkedIn

  1. Open Settings → Connected Accounts.
  2. Find LinkedIn and select Connect.
  3. Complete the secure sign-in flow. If LinkedIn asks for verification, finish it in that window.
  4. Return to Yena. The LinkedIn row should show a green Connected status and your account name.
  5. Select Check now to confirm the connection is healthy.

​
Where LinkedIn appears

  • Inbox — sync conversations and send messages or InMail from Yena.
  • Campaigns — choose the connected LinkedIn account as the sender for connection-request and message steps.

​
How campaign follow-ups work

When a LinkedIn message follows a connection request, Yena waits until the invitation is accepted. The follow-up delay starts when Yena detects that acceptance, not when the invitation was sent. Acceptance updates are automatic but not always instant. Yena checks before the follow-up is due and retries automatically if LinkedIn has not exposed the change yet.

​
Re-authorize the account

Select Re-authorize when Yena reports an expired session, the account stops syncing, or LinkedIn requires you to sign in again. Re-authorizing refreshes the connection without changing your campaigns.

​
Safe sending

  • Turn sending on only for the campaign you are ready to run.
  • If LinkedIn shows a warning, turn campaign sending off immediately and resolve the warning before retrying.
  • Keep connection requests and follow-ups relevant, personalized, and within the limits shown in Yena.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Connection looks stale: select Check now.
  • Account is missing from a campaign: confirm it is connected, then reopen the sequence and select it as the sender.
  • Messages are not syncing: use Re-authorize, complete any LinkedIn verification, and check again.
