LinkedIn Outreach

Vitae.ai integrates with LinkedIn to send connection requests and messages as part of your outreach sequences.

Connected LinkedIn accounts

LinkedIn outreach requires a connected account. Set up the integration in the app under Settings → Integrations → LinkedIn, then inspect connected accounts through the API:

GET /v1/linkedin/connected-accounts
Authorization: Bearer <token>

This returns the LinkedIn accounts available to the authenticated organization.

Send a LinkedIn message

POST /v1/campaigns/:campaignId/linkedin-messages
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
 
{
  "candidateId": "prof_01abc...",
  "message": "Hi Jane, I saw your background in distributed systems...",
  "sendAt": "2026-05-16T09:00:00Z"
}

Schedule LinkedIn outreach in bulk

You can schedule LinkedIn messages as part of a campaign. See Campaign Management for how to combine email and LinkedIn into a multi-channel sequence.

Connection requests

POST /v1/linkedin/send-invitation
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
 
{
  "candidateId": "prof_01abc...",
  "note": "Hi Jane, I'd love to connect..."
}

Note messages are optional and limited to 300 characters by LinkedIn.

Rate limits

LinkedIn enforces rate limits on automated actions. Vitae.ai respects these limits and will queue messages automatically if you approach them. The platform surfaces warnings when your account is approaching LinkedIn’s thresholds.
