LinkedIn Chrome extension
Install the Happierleads LinkedIn extension so your LinkedIn campaigns send connection requests from your own browser.
LinkedIn campaigns send their connection requests through a Chrome extension, from your own LinkedIn session in your own browser. Nothing logs in to LinkedIn on your behalf.
Install it
- Open Chrome on the computer where you are signed in to LinkedIn.
- Install Happierleads LinkedIn from the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome. You can also click Add to Chrome under Integrations → LinkedIn Accounts in the dashboard.
- Pin it: click the puzzle icon in Chrome’s toolbar, then the pin next to Happierleads LinkedIn.
- Open the extension and click Connect this Chrome. If no dashboard tab is open, sign in with your dashboard email and password, then pick the workspace.
- Within a minute the account appears in Integrations → LinkedIn Accounts with its status.
Updates install automatically. Install it on each Chrome profile whose LinkedIn account you want to send from; each one appears as its own row.
What it sends, and when
The extension only sends connection requests, with an optional personalised note, to the prospects your LinkedIn campaigns queue. It never scrapes profiles or your feed and never reads your messages.
To keep your account safe it:
- sends a few requests a day per account, spread hours apart, and raises the number slowly during the first weeks (Ramp-up on the account row; you can change the start, the maximum and the number of days);
- sends only inside the campaign’s schedule (by default weekdays, 08:00–20:00 in the timezone of the computer running Chrome);
- waits until you are away from the keyboard, so it never takes over while you browse;
- tries each prospect at most twice, and stops for at least a day if LinkedIn shows a limit or asks you to verify.
Chrome has to be open and signed in to LinkedIn for anything to send. A laptop that is only open in the evening still sends, inside its local hours.
Pause or remove it
- Pause one account: the pause button on its row in Integrations → LinkedIn Accounts, or switch off Autopilot in the extension.
- Remove an account: the delete button on its row. Requests queued for it are cancelled. To stop for good, also remove the extension from Chrome.
Troubleshooting
| You see | Do this |
|---|---|
| The account is not in LinkedIn Accounts | Open the extension and click Connect this Chrome. Make sure you are signed in to LinkedIn in the same Chrome profile. |
| LinkedIn disconnected in the extension | Sign in to linkedin.com again in that Chrome, then reopen the extension. |
| Requests are queued but nothing is sent | Check that Chrome is open, the time is inside the campaign’s schedule, today’s limit is not used up, and the account is not paused or cooling down after a LinkedIn warning. |
| Could not load your workspaces | Sign in to the dashboard in a tab of the same Chrome, then click Connect this Chrome again. |
Next: create a LinkedIn campaign.
