This guide is for dashboard users. Every step below happens inside the Kakiyo dashboard. No code or API calls required.
Connecting your LinkedIn account is the first step to running outreach campaigns. Kakiyo uses your LinkedIn credentials to send invitations and messages on your behalf, simulating natural human behavior to keep your account safe.

​
Step 1: Create Your Kakiyo Account

  1. Go to app.kakiyo.com and click Sign Up.
  2. Enter your email address and create a password (or sign up with Google SSO).
  3. Confirm your email if prompted.
  4. You are redirected to the Kakiyo dashboard.

​
Step 2: Navigate to Profiles

  1. In the sidebar, click Profiles.
  2. This page shows all your connected LinkedIn accounts and their status.
  3. If this is your first time, the page will be empty.

​
Step 3: Connect Your LinkedIn Account

  1. Click the Connect LinkedIn Account button.
  2. Enter your LinkedIn credentials:
    • Email: The email address associated with your LinkedIn account
    • Password: Your LinkedIn password
  3. Click Connect.
Security: Your LinkedIn credentials are encrypted end-to-end and stored securely. Kakiyo staff cannot access your login information. The connection uses your credentials to simulate browser-based activity from a dedicated, isolated runtime environment.

​
Handling Verification Codes

LinkedIn may require a verification step during connection:
  1. If a verification code is requested, check the email or phone number associated with your LinkedIn account.
  2. Enter the verification code in the Kakiyo dialog.
  3. Click Verify to complete the connection.
Important: You have a maximum of 2 attempts to enter the verification code correctly. If both attempts fail, LinkedIn may temporarily lock the verification flow. Wait at least 24 hours before trying again, or contact Kakiyo support.

​
Step 4: Configure Location Settings

After connecting, configure the location from which Kakiyo will operate your LinkedIn account:
  1. On the Profiles page, click your connected account to open its settings.
  2. In the Location section, select the city and country.
  3. Click Save.

​
Why Location Matters

Kakiyo simulates browser activity from the configured location. If you set a location that is very different from where you normally log in to LinkedIn, it may trigger LinkedIn’s security checks. Best practice:
ScenarioRecommended location
You normally use LinkedIn from ParisSet Paris as the location
You travel frequentlySet your most common location
You’re using a team member’s accountSet the location where that team member usually works

​
If Your Location Isn’t Available

Do not select a random location. Contact Kakiyo support instead:
  1. Reach out to support and explain your actual location.
  2. Wait for the team to add your location or suggest the best alternative.
  3. Only proceed once you have confirmation.
If you change your location later, wait at least 24 hours before running intensive outreach. Sudden location changes can trigger LinkedIn’s fraud detection.

​
Step 5: Verify Connection Status

After connecting, your LinkedIn account should show one of these statuses on the Profiles page:
StatusMeaningAction needed
Connected (green)Account is connected and ready to useNone — you can assign it to campaigns
Pending VerificationLinkedIn requested a verification codeEnter the code in the dialog
Disconnected (red)Connection failed or expiredRe-enter credentials and reconnect
Rate LimitedLinkedIn temporarily restricted the accountWait 24-48 hours, then reconnect

​
Account Limits by Plan

Each plan allows a different number of connected LinkedIn accounts:

ConquerorUp to 5UnlimitedUnlimitedUnlimited
To see your current plan limits, go to Settings > Billing in the sidebar. See Billing and Credits for full plan details.

​
Daily Limits and Safety

After connecting, configure safe daily limits:
  1. Click your connected account on the Profiles page.
  2. Set Daily Invitation Limit — recommended starting point:
    • New accounts (< 6 months old): 15-20 invitations per day
    • Established accounts (6-12 months): 25-30 per day
    • Mature accounts (> 1 year, active): 30-40 per day
  3. Set Working Hours — the time window during which the agent sends messages (e.g., 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM).
  4. Click Save.
Never set daily invitation limits above 40, even for mature accounts. LinkedIn actively monitors outreach volume and may restrict accounts that exceed safe thresholds. See LinkedIn Account Safety Guide for detailed scaling strategies.

Security and Runtime Details

​
How Kakiyo Protects Your Account

  • Dedicated runtime isolation: Your account runs in its own isolated environment. You don’t need to keep your computer running.
  • Human behavior simulation: Realistic typing patterns, natural browsing behavior, and authentic interaction pacing.
  • No interference with personal usage: The AI agent operates independently of your personal LinkedIn activity.
  • Data protection: All credentials are encrypted during transmission and storage. Kakiyo staff has zero access to your login information.

​
Troubleshooting Connection Issues

Double-check your LinkedIn email and password. Try logging in to LinkedIn directly at linkedin.com to confirm your credentials are correct. If you use Google SSO for LinkedIn, you may need to set a LinkedIn-specific password first.
Check your spam/junk folder. LinkedIn may also send the code to your phone via SMS. If you still don’t receive it, wait 15 minutes and try again. LinkedIn rate-limits verification code requests.
LinkedIn may have invalidated the session. This can happen if you changed your LinkedIn password, enabled two-factor authentication, or if LinkedIn detected unusual activity. Re-enter your credentials on the Profiles page to reconnect.
This usually means LinkedIn is requesting verification but the dialog didn’t appear. Refresh the Profiles page. If the issue persists, disconnect the account and reconnect from scratch.

​
Next Steps

Once your LinkedIn account is connected and configured:
  1. Create an offering to describe your product
  2. Write a prompt to define AI behavior
  3. Set up your first campaign to start outreach
