Account Warm-Up Guide
A new LinkedIn account that suddenly sends 75 connection requests on day one looks like a bot. Here's how to ramp safely.
Why warm-up matters
LinkedIn's restriction algorithms are primarily triggered by sudden spikes in activity — not by the existence of automation itself. An account that has consistently sent 70 connection requests a day for six months is far less likely to be flagged than a brand-new account sending 75 on day one.
The warm-up process mimics the growth pattern of a legitimately active LinkedIn user. Salesrobot's built-in warm-up feature handles this automatically — but understanding the rationale helps you make better decisions when customizing limits.
Recommended warm-up schedule
| Period | Connections | Messages | Profile Views | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1–2 | 10–15/day | 15–20/day | 15–20/day | Go slow. Let the account settle. Monitor for any warning emails from LinkedIn. |
| Week 3–4 | 25–30/day | 30–35/day | 30–35/day | Steady ramp. If no warnings, proceed to next phase. |
| Week 5–6 | 45–55/day | 50–60/day | 50–60/day | Approaching full capacity. Maintain message quality — complaint rate is highest here. |
| Week 7+ | 75/day | 75/day | 75/day | Full operating capacity. Continue monitoring reply rates vs complaint signals. |
How to enable automatic warm-up in Salesrobot
Go to Accounts → click your account → Settings → Enable Warm-Up. Salesrobot will automatically increase limits on the schedule above. You do not need to manually adjust anything.
Warning signs to watch for
During warm-up, watch your LinkedIn notifications for security emails, verify identity prompts, or "we've noticed unusual behavior" messages. If any appear, pause all campaigns, reduce daily limits by 50%, and resume after 72 hours.
Older accounts with no prior automation history
If you're connecting an established LinkedIn account that has never been used for automation, still run a 4-week warm-up. The issue is not account age — it's the pattern change from no automation activity to full volume.
