Reconnect a disconnected LinkedIn account

How to restore a LinkedIn account marked Reconnect needed and what happens to campaign work while the account is unavailable.

Last updated View as Markdown

Reconnect a LinkedIn account from the Accounts page after you have confirmed that LinkedIn allows the account to sign in. Doreach marks an account Reconnect needed when its provider credentials or permissions are no longer usable.

Check LinkedIn before reconnecting

  1. Open LinkedIn in its website or app and sign in to the affected account.
  2. Read any sign-in, verification, or restriction notice.
  3. Complete the steps LinkedIn shows.
  4. If LinkedIn reports automated activity, pause the Doreach campaigns using the account and disable other LinkedIn automation before continuing.

A Doreach reconnect cannot bypass a LinkedIn checkpoint or restriction. LinkedIn’s account restrictions page explains the different restriction categories and tells members to follow the on-screen steps.

Reconnect the account in Doreach

  1. Open Accounts.
  2. Open the action menu for the account marked Reconnect needed.
  3. Choose Reconnect account.
  4. Select a connection method and complete the sign-in or hosted authentication flow.
  5. Wait for the account badge to return to Healthy.

If the flow is still waiting for approval or verification, Doreach keeps the account in a connecting or reconnect-needed state. Complete the provider prompt before trying again.

Campaign work waits for the unavailable account

Doreach does not send from an account while its connection is unavailable. Prospects already assigned to that account keep their assignment and wait for the account to become usable again.

A running campaign does not have to change its campaign status to Paused. Other healthy accounts attached to the same campaign continue with the prospects assigned to them. After the account returns to Healthy, its work can continue inside the campaign’s send window and within its daily and weekly limits.

Open the campaign after reconnecting to confirm its status, send window, and account selection. Campaign schedule settings belong to the campaign, not the outreach account.

Repeated reconnect requests need investigation

If the same account repeatedly returns to Reconnect needed, sign in to LinkedIn and check for a recurring verification or restriction notice. Then open Account details in Doreach and review the sync status before starting another reconnect.

Use Account health and statuses to interpret the account badge and weekly usage. Do not keep retrying a reconnect while LinkedIn still requires action.

Common questions

Why does Doreach show Reconnect needed?
The account's current provider connection no longer has usable credentials or permissions. Doreach cannot tell from that status alone whether LinkedIn needs a routine sign-in, verification, or restriction step, so sign in to LinkedIn and read the notice before reconnecting.
Does a campaign become Paused when one account needs reconnecting?
Not necessarily. A running campaign can stay in its current status while Doreach skips the unavailable account. Prospects assigned to that account wait. Other healthy accounts continue with the prospects already assigned to them.
