- If you see an alert stating that you're not connected to LinkedIn… You're probably not connected to LinkedIn 😅
Refresh the Cookies
You need to refresh the cookies if:
- You log out of your LinkedIn account on your browser - not a big deal, you've generated new cookies
- LinkedIn automatically changed the cookies / Cookie expired - nothing to worry about

- Kicked out by LinkedIn:
- You're using another automation tool - BE CAREFUL
- You're doing too many actions - BE CAREFUL
Automation isn't always precise. Before you start automating, make sure your account is regularly active on the platform. For new accounts, take it easy at first, doing fewer actions. Also, when automating, be careful not to rush. Avoid launching many jobs in a short time. Space them out based on the inputs and outputs you're handling. With Search automations, there's no strict limit, but spacing them out is essential to prevent Rate Limits.
And, no need to worry! For most automations with commercial limits, we've got you covered with our Smart Limits: how to avoid getting banned on social accounts. (Forget about the PhantomBuster mindset; we take care of everything for you. Your role is simply to scale and space your jobs.)

⚠️ Restriction from LinkedIn: Make sure the “country” selected on your user (here > Edit User > Country) match the location where you are when you log into your social media account to avoid any restrictions.
Exercise caution when using a VPN. Either choose the exact same country where your VPN provides IPs to ensure a match, or log out from your VPN when logging into your Social Media Account.
How to refresh your own account
You can also refresh your account directly from the configuration when retrying your job.
