Introduction
You connect your LinkedIn account to a sender profile in two steps: set up a proxy and authorize your LinkedIn session in our cloud browser. This guide walks you through both, plus basic troubleshooting.
The GetSales Cloud Browser is a secure environment that provides a single, protected LinkedIn session - so your automation runs from the same device and with the same session as your login. That means no risky device-switching and fewer security flags.
Before you start
When you open a sender profile, you land on the LinkedIn tab. If your LinkedIn profile isn’t connected yet, you’ll see the “Connect LinkedIn Profile” screen.
Step 1: Set up a proxy
You can use GetSales proxies or your own.
Option A — Use GetSales proxies
Choose the country for your proxy.
Pick the location that matches the location in your LinkedIn profile, or where you are physically located (if you own this LinkedIn account).
If the country you need isn’t listed, contact support so we can review adding it.
Option B — Use your own proxy
Select “Use my own proxy”
Choose the proxy Type (HTTP, Socks4 or Socks5).
Enter the proxy details: host, port, login (username), and password.
If your proxy does not require authentication, leave login (username) and password empty.
Click “Check proxy” to test the connection, then continue to the next step.
Note: Choosing a proxy location that matches your LinkedIn profile (or your current location) reduces the chance of LinkedIn security checks.
Step 2: Authorize your LinkedIn profile (cloud browser)
Click “Open Cloud Browser.”
A Remote Desktop window will open (this may take some time).
When the browser loads the LinkedIn sign-in page, log in as usual with your email/phone and password.
Note: for macOS, use Control + V to paste your copied login/password into the cloud browser.
Complete any security checks (for example, a code sent by email, SMS, or an authenticator app).
After you have successfully signed in, click “I have logged in.” This closes the cloud browser and starts saving and verifying your session.
Wait while the session is checked.
What you’ll see after connecting
After a successful check, you’ll see your LinkedIn account details, Account Health, and daily limit settings.
If you ever need to open your LinkedIn again, click “Open in Cloud Browser” This lets you access your LinkedIn profile directly within the same protected session
Using your own GoLogin browser
If you already have a GoLogin account with an active paid subscription, you can connect it directly. Click “Click here to connect” in the interface and follow the on-screen instructions.
Troubleshooting the cloud browser
If the cloud browser doesn’t open
If you see an error or a black screen when opening the cloud browser, try these steps:
Click “Try again.”
If that doesn’t help, click “Cancel” and then open the cloud browser again.
Disable any ad blockers (for example, AdBlock) in your local browser — these can block the remote session window.
If the cloud browser still doesn’t work, click “Connect directly via GoLogin” and follow the instructions on your screen.
Clipboard error
If you see the error “Copying to the clipboard is blocked. Update your browser settings”, this means Clipboard access is disabled in your browser.
To fix this:
Click the site settings icon in the address bar.
Find Clipboard in the permissions list.
Set it to Allow.
Refresh the page and try again.
Maximum number of cloud browsers reached
If you see the error “You have reached the maximum number of simultaneously running cloud browsers, consider to upgrade your subscription”, it means your team has already opened the maximum number of cloud browsers allowed on your plan.
The number of simultaneous cloud browsers depends on your plan:
Solo: 1 cloud browser
Growth: 2 cloud browsers
Business-10: 3 cloud browsers
Business-50: 4 cloud browsers
Business-100: 5 cloud browsers
Flex plans: 1 cloud browser per team in the subscription
AppSumo plans: 0 (cloud browser is available only for LinkedIn authorization; for browsing, use GoLogin)
To resolve this issue:
Ask one of your teammates to close an open cloud browser — only then can you start another one.
If you are the only one in the team, check if you have another cloud browser open in a different tab or browser. Close it before opening a new one.
Upgrade your plan or purchase an add-on to increase the number of simultaneous cloud browsers (contact support in chat for details).
If your subscription does not allow cloud browsers, use GoLogin to open your browser.
Note (temporary): At the moment, all teams are limited to 1 simultaneously running cloud browser, regardless of plan. This restriction will be lifted in the next platform update, which will restore the correct limits per subscription. If this limitation is critical for your work right now, please contact us in support chat and we can adjust it manually.
