Connect your LinkedIn account so Sally can send connection requests, direct messages, and visit profiles on your behalf. Built-in daily limits keep your account inside LinkedIn’s safe-use thresholds, and Sales Navigator is detected automatically when present.
1
Open the LinkedIn channel
Select LinkedIn in the channel list, then click Connect LinkedIn in the detail header.
2
Enter your credentials
In the drawer, enter the email address and password for the LinkedIn account Sally should act as. Credentials are encrypted at rest and are never displayed back to you or your team.
3
Complete any verification
Sally signs in on your behalf. If LinkedIn requests a verification code, an authenticator code, or a CAPTCHA, a drawer opens in the app — enter the code or click the CAPTCHA image to resolve it. The progress card updates as each step completes.
4
Confirm you are connected
Once connected, the header switches to Open LinkedIn and the Safe limits card appears, showing your daily caps for connection invites, direct messages, post comments, and profile views.
LinkedIn safe limits reset daily. The caps increase automatically as your account warms up, protecting it from being flagged for unusual activity.
API keys and webhooks
To connect Salestools to external tools like Zapier or your own scripts, generate an API key. At the bottom of the channel list, find the API · webhooks panel and click Manage API keys →. You are taken to Settings → API keys where you can create and revoke keys.FAQ
Do I have to connect every channel?
Do I have to connect every channel?
No. Sally only uses what’s connected — the rest stays quiet. Connect one channel to start and add others whenever you like.
Why does LinkedIn ask for a code or captcha?
Why does LinkedIn ask for a code or captcha?
LinkedIn runs its own security checks when a new sign-in happens. Sally surfaces those checks in a drawer so you can complete them in the moment — enter the verification code, or click the captcha image to solve it. Several rounds may be needed.
What are LinkedIn safe limits?
What are LinkedIn safe limits?
Sally won’t push past the daily caps shown in the Safe limits card (invites, messages, post comments, profile views). The numbers ramp up automatically as your account warms up, which protects your account from being flagged.
Can I use more than one mailbox?
Can I use more than one mailbox?
Yes. Add multiple mailboxes and enable rotation so sends are spread across them. Set one as primary, and give each its own sender name and signature.

Open Domain settings in the Email channel to review SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your sending domains, and watch the bounce figure in the KPI strip.
Troubleshooting
A channel shows 'needs attention'
A channel shows 'needs attention'
The connection needs re-authentication or has a pending challenge. Open that channel — LinkedIn shows the last error and a sign-in log; calendars show a “Reconnect needed” card. Reconnect to clear it.
The connect popup didn't open
The connect popup didn't open
Your browser may have blocked it. Allow popups for Salestools and try Connect again. For calendars, if a popup stays blocked the page falls back to opening sign-in in the same tab.
A meeting type saved but didn't sync
A meeting type saved but didn't sync
Meeting types are cached on your device and synced to the server. If you see a “saved on this device, but couldn’t sync” message, your edit is safe locally — reload and try again once you’re back online.
