Run LinkedIn outreach safely

Q: Can Signalist withdraw old invitations?

Yes. Switch on Automatically withdraw stale connection requests under Personal settings → Connected Accounts → LinkedIn and choose 30, 40, or 50 days.

Before you start

Connect your LinkedIn account under Personal settings → Connected Accounts. The LinkedIn card shows whether it is connected and whether it has LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator.
Switch on Auto-update my LinkedIn connections in the same card, so Signalist knows who you are already connected with.
Start with a small audience you can watch closely.

Daily limits

Click Edit LinkedIn settings on the LinkedIn card to set how much your account does per day. The limits apply to everything the account sends, across all campaigns and lists.

Setting	Default
Visits per day	45
Connection requests per day	25
Messages per day (InMails count too)	25

There is no upper cap in Signalist, so raising the limits is your decision. Treat them as a safeguard, not a target, and increase them slowly.

Signalist also leaves 5 to 10 minutes between two LinkedIn actions of the same account. You cannot change this spacing.

Withdraw old invitations automatically

Invitations that stay open for weeks are a risk for your account. Signalist can withdraw them for you:

Go to Personal settings → Connected Accounts → LinkedIn → Auto-withdraw.
Switch on Automatically withdraw stale connection requests.
Under Withdraw after, choose 30 days, 40 days, or 50 days.

The Auto-withdraw section of the LinkedIn card with the switch "Automatically withdraw stale connection requests".

Once a day, Signalist withdraws invitations sent through Signalist that are still pending after that time. Leads who accepted, replied, unsubscribed, or are blacklisted are not touched. A campaign waiting for such an invitation to be accepted continues instead of waiting forever. The setting is off by default.

Existing connections and invitations

Invitation steps skip people you are already connected with. Nothing is sent, and the timeline shows "Already connected — invitation skipped".
An invitation that already exists is not sent again; the campaign continues with its next step.
A LinkedIn message only reaches first-degree connections. Messages to someone who has not accepted your invitation are not sent; the lead shows "… not sent" in the Outbox. The exception: if the lead answered your invitation note in a chat, Signalist can reply in that chat.
Use the Connected on LinkedIn filter (Is in / Is not in) to build a separate, message-first sequence for people you already know.

Invitation notes and InMails

An invitation note may have at most 200 characters after personalisation, or 300 with LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator. If a note is too long, the whole campaign pauses and every sender gets an email. Shorten the note and activate the campaign again.
Send LinkedIn InMail steps need a sender with LinkedIn Sales Navigator or Premium. The campaign builder warns you when none of the campaign's LinkedIn senders has one.

If the account is disconnected

The sidebar shows "Please reconnect Signalist with your LinkedIn", and the account owner and admins get an email. Until you reconnect under Personal settings → Connected Accounts, LinkedIn steps are not sent and show "… failed" in the Outbox.

Steps

Connect the account and switch on connection syncing.
Check the daily limits under Edit LinkedIn settings.
Switch on Automatically withdraw stale connection requests.
Keep invitation notes short and check a few personalised previews.
Start with a small audience, then watch the Outbox and replies.
Increase volume only when acceptance and replies look healthy.

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
Many invitations stay open	Switch on auto-withdraw, reduce Connection requests per day, and check that the audience fits.
Messages to new contacts are not sent	They have not accepted your invitation yet. Start the sequence with an invitation, or use an InMail step.
The campaign paused itself	Usually an invitation note is too long. Shorten it and activate the campaign again.
LinkedIn shows a warning on your account	Lower the daily limits, pause campaigns on that account, and reconnect if asked.

Frequently asked questions

What is a safe daily limit?

The defaults (25 invitations, 25 messages, 45 visits) are a sensible start. Raise them slowly and only while acceptance and replies stay healthy.

Can Signalist withdraw old invitations?

Yes. Switch on Automatically withdraw stale connection requests under Personal settings → Connected Accounts → LinkedIn and choose 30, 40, or 50 days.

Will existing connections get another invitation?

No. Invitation steps skip them automatically. Filter them with Connected on LinkedIn if you want to write to them with a message-first sequence.

Why was a message to a new contact not sent?

LinkedIn messages only reach first-degree connections. Wait until the invitation is accepted, or use an InMail step.

Can I change the time between LinkedIn actions?

No. Signalist always leaves 5 to 10 minutes between two actions of the same account.

I use LinkedIn Recruiter. Does Signalist affect it?

No. Signalist does not use Recruiter, so it connects your LinkedIn account with Recruiter switched off, and your own Recruiter work stays as it is. If LinkedIn ever asks you about multiple logins, reconnect your account once under Personal settings → Connected Accounts.

Add your email signature to emails

Signalist can add the signature of the sending mailbox to your emails: to campaign emails and to the emails you write yourself. One setting decides it for your whole company, and every email draft lets you change it for that one message. The signature never appears twice.

Manage Inbox, Outbox, and replies

The Inbox holds the leads who replied. The Outbox holds everything you are sending or have sent that has not been answered yet. A lead moves from the Outbox to the Inbox as soon as they reply.

Email sending, limits, and delays

Signalist sends email from your own mailbox. How much goes out, and when, depends on three things: the mailbox's daily limit, the campaign's sending window, and the delay you set on each campaign step.
