# LinkedIn Account

> Understand LinkedIn account operations in multichannel sequencing.

A LinkedIn account is the LinkedIn-side identity used inside a sender profile.

Within multichannel sequencing, it is the account that powers LinkedIn actions such as connection requests, messages, and other LinkedIn workflow steps.

## Role inside sender profile

The LinkedIn account is the LinkedIn component of sender identity.

When a sender profile is assigned to a sequence, the LinkedIn account under that profile is what makes LinkedIn execution possible. Without a usable LinkedIn account, LinkedIn-specific branches may be unavailable or fail to run as intended.

For an end-to-end example of a sequence that routes eligible leads into a LinkedIn branch after sender-profile setup, see [Create a multichannel sequence](/products/salesforge/create-multichannel-sequence).

## Connection state and readiness

The multichannel-api public surface exposes a caller-friendly connection state model for LinkedIn accounts.

* **Connected**: the account is ready for use.
* **Awaiting OTP**: the account is waiting for an OTP or checkpoint step before it can be used.
* **Pending**: the connection is still in progress and should not yet be treated as fully ready.
* **Failed**: the account has reached a terminal error state and cannot be relied on for execution.

This higher-level connection state is more useful for documentation than the full internal status set because it reflects the actions an integrator actually needs to take.

## Profile data and execution context

LinkedIn accounts can also carry descriptive profile information such as name, LinkedIn URL, profile image, and premium type.

For documentation purposes, the important concept is not the profile metadata itself, but whether the account is connected and suitable for the sender profile that depends on it.

## Practical usage patterns

1. Connect the LinkedIn account before relying on it in a sender profile used by active sequences.
2. Resolve OTP or checkpoint challenges before treating the account as ready.
3. Re-check connection state before launch or before investigating LinkedIn execution issues.
