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

  1. Choose the country for your proxy.

  2. Pick the location that matches the location in your LinkedIn profile, or where you are physically located (if you own this LinkedIn account).

  3. If the country you need isn’t listed, contact support so we can review adding it.

Option B — Use your own proxy

  1. Select “Use my own proxy”

  2. Choose the proxy Type (HTTP, Socks4 or Socks5).

  3. Enter the proxy details: host, port, login (username), and password.

  4. If your proxy does not require authentication, leave login (username) and password empty.

  5. 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)

  1. Click “Open Cloud Browser.”

  2. A Remote Desktop window will open (this may take some time).

  3. 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.

  4. Complete any security checks (for example, a code sent by email, SMS, or an authenticator app).

  5. After you have successfully signed in, click “I have logged in.” This closes the cloud browser and starts saving and verifying your session.

  6. 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 you see an error or a black screen when opening the cloud browser, try the following:

  1. Click “Try again”

  2. If that doesn’t help, click “Cancel” then open the cloud browser again.

  3. 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 then follow the instructions on your screen.
