LinkedIn troubleshooting
Fix a disconnected or restricted LinkedIn account, a failed lead import, a campaign that will not start and sends that do not go out.
Find your problem below. For sends that show Skipped, see Why was a LinkedIn action skipped?
The account needs attention
On the Accounts tab, the status shows what is wrong:
| Status or reason | What to do |
|---|---|
| Login not finished / "The login waits for a security check." | Click Finish connecting and complete LinkedIn's check. |
| "LinkedIn logged this account out." | Click Reconnect and log in again. |
| "LinkedIn asks for a security check." | Click Reconnect and confirm the check. |
| "The saved password no longer works." | Click Reconnect and log in with your new password. |
| "Too many login attempts today. Log in again yourself." | Click Reconnect and log in yourself. |
| "LinkedIn restricted this account." | Check your account on linkedin.com. Resume sending only once LinkedIn lifted the restriction. |
Turn on Keep me connected so meetergo logs you back in when LinkedIn signs you out. See Connect your LinkedIn account.
Connecting fails
- "LinkedIn did not accept these cookies." Log in on linkedin.com and export the cookies again.
- "LinkedIn did not accept these login details." Check your email and password on linkedin.com.
- "That code is not right." Enter the newest code. Each check stays open for five minutes.
- "Too many login attempts." Wait 15 minutes, then try again.
- "No free LinkedIn seat." Every seat is in use. An admin can add seats. See LinkedIn seats and billing.
- "Only you can connect your own LinkedIn account." Switch to your own workspace first.
A lead list failed
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| Needs Sales Navigator or Recruiter | Your account lacks the plan for this link. Use a LinkedIn search instead. |
| Source not found | The post, search or list no longer exists or your account cannot open it. |
| LinkedIn account not connected | Reconnect your account and create the list again. |
| No attendees visible. Attend the event with this account | Attend the event on linkedin.com, then create the list again. See Import the attendees of a LinkedIn event. |
| Import failed | LinkedIn did not answer. Create the list again later. |
"This link does not fit the import method" means the pasted page does not match the method you picked. For example, a company page under LinkedIn search. Copy the right page.
A campaign will not start
The header names what is missing: a lead list, a sender or a first step, or a message without text or voice note. See Start, pause and edit a campaign.
Nothing goes out
Check in this order:
- Working hours: meetergo sends only during the account owner's working hours.
- Limits: the day's limit may be reached. The activity says "Waits for room in the sending limits".
- Warm-up: a new account sends only part of its limits in the first three weeks.
- Paused: the account shows Paused or Restricted by LinkedIn.
- Campaign paused: the campaign status shows Paused.
See LinkedIn limits, warm-up and account safety.
You cannot reply in the inbox
- "Only ... can reply from their LinkedIn." Personal conversations are answered by their owner only.
- "Reconnect LinkedIn to reply." The account is logged out.
- "No page admin account is connected." A page admin needs to reconnect LinkedIn.
- "Deleted on LinkedIn. Replies are off." The chat was deleted on linkedin.com.
A send failed
"LinkedIn did not answer in time" means meetergo does not know whether it arrived. Check the chat on LinkedIn before you send again.
