Troubleshooting

My LinkedIn account was restricted

What NudgeLink does the moment LinkedIn pushes back, and the safe path back to sending.

Last updated 2026-07-14

LinkedIn restricts accounts that look automated: too many actions too fast, several tools acting at once, or activity at odd hours. NudgeLink's warmup ramp, daily caps, and human send windows exist precisely to stay under those triggers — but restrictions can still happen, most often on young seats or when another tool runs in parallel.

What happens automatically

The seat flips to Needs attention (a login checkpoint) or Banned (a restriction), every sequence on it pauses, and you get an email. The engine never retries through a warning — nothing keeps poking your account while it's flagged.

The path back

  1. Log in to LinkedIn directly (browser or app) and complete whatever LinkedIn asks — identity verification, password change, the checkpoint.
  2. On Dashboard → Accounts, use Reconnect via LinkedIn to restore the session in the hosted window.
  3. Once the seat reports healthy, the sequences the engine paused resume automatically, staggered so the account comes back gently. Anything you paused yourself stays paused.

Keeping it from happening again

Run one automation tool per LinkedIn account — stacked tools blow through every cap that protects you. Keep the seat's timezone accurate so actions land in its real working hours. And let young seats ramp: the conservative first weeks are the protection, not a limitation. See Warmup and account safety for the full safety model.
