Connecting your LinkedIn account
You can connect your LinkedIn account to send LinkedIn InMails through Pin and sync your communication with candidates.
Note: Installing the Pin Chrome extension is required to connect your LinkedIn account. You can install the Pin Chrome extension here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pincom-recruiting-ai-auto/infcaknhippabnplinmgidmjojcbkijd
To connect your LinkedIn account, go to Settings > Connected Accounts and click "Connect LinkedIn Account". If you're already logged into LinkedIn in your browser, Pin will automatically connect to that LinkedIn account. To connect a different LinkedIn account to Pin, log out of your current account, then sign in with the correct LinkedIn account you want to use.
To connect your LinkedIn account:
- Go to User & Team Settings.
- Select "Connected Accounts".
- Click "Connect LinkedIn Account".
- Follow the prompts to complete the connection.
Once your LinkedIn account is connected, it'll look like this:
You can include a LinkedIn message in your Outreach sequence by selecting one of the following options:
- "Send LinkedIn Message automatically" – A LinkedIn message will be sent automatically when a candidate reaches this step in the Outreach sequence.
- "Send LinkedIn Message manually from queue" – A LinkedIn message will be added to your queue for manual review and sending when a candidate reaches this step in the Outreach sequence.
Note: You can send LinkedIn InMails from Pin using any LinkedIn account type—including the free version, Sales Navigator, Premium Career, Premium Business, Recruiter Lite, and Recruiter Professional.
Note: When you send a LinkedIn message through Pin, the exchange will sync to your Pin inbox starting with the initial LinkedIn message sent through Pin.
- If the candidate is a 1st degree connection, it counts as a regular LinkedIn message.
- If the candidate is not a 1st degree connection, it will use one of your LinkedIn InMail credits.
We recommend checking if the candidate is a 1st-degree connection before messaging to avoid using InMail credits unnecessarily. You can review LinkedIn's guide here on how InMail credits work:
