Connect your LinkedIn account

Updated Jul 8, 2026 · 5 min

Verbiflow sends LinkedIn connection requests and messages through your own LinkedIn account, synced securely via a Chrome extension. This guide walks you through connecting it, end to end, in about five minutes.

Before you start

You’ll need three things:

  • Google Chrome (the connection runs through a Chrome extension)
  • To be logged in to linkedin.com in Chrome
  • To be logged in to platform.verbiflow.com in the same Chrome window
01 · Check

See if you already have a sender

In Verbiflow, a sender is the person your outreach goes out as. It holds their mailboxes and LinkedIn account. Your team may have already set one up for you, so check first: open the Senders page and type your name into the search bar.

Searching for a sender by name on the Senders page
If your name shows up, skip ahead to step 3. If you see “No senders match your filters,” create one in step 2.
02 · Create

Create your sender

Click + New sender in the top-right corner of the Senders page.

The New sender button on the Senders page

Fill in your details. First and last name are required; the rest makes your outreach work better:

  • Primary email: used as the reply-to address when this sender receives responses.
  • Calendar link: available in your copy as a variable, so sequences can drop your booking link in automatically.
  • Linked workspace member: link the sender to your Verbiflow login. We recommend this, since it routes notifications (like replies and connection accepts) to the right person.

Click Create sender and you’re ready for the next step.

03 · Add account

Open “Add account” on your sender

Find your name in the senders list and click the button on the far right of the row (right-clicking the row works too).

Then choose Add account from the menu.

04 · Install

Pick LinkedIn and install the extension

In the dialog, switch to the LinkedIn tab, then click Install extension.

Warning
Install the extension from this button, not by searching the Chrome Web Store yourself. Installing from here ties the extension to your Verbiflow workspace so the connection works.

05 · Install

Add the extension to Chrome

The button takes you to the Verbiflow Account Sync listing. Click Add to Chrome and confirm.

Before you continue
Make sure you are logged in to linkedin.com and platform.verbiflow.com in this Chrome window before moving on. The extension syncs your live LinkedIn session, so both logins need to be active.
06 · Open

Open the extension

Click the puzzle-piece Extensions icon in Chrome’s toolbar, then click Verbiflow Account Sync to open it. (Pinning it here makes it easier to find later.)

07 · Connect

Click Connect LinkedIn

In the extension popup, review the sync scope and location, then click Connect LinkedIn. Nothing sends automatically. This only syncs your session so Verbiflow can act as you when a sequence tells it to.

08 · Permissions

Allow the extra permissions

Chrome will ask for additional permissions so the extension can work with LinkedIn on your behalf. Click Allow.

09 · Finish

Connect once more, then give it a minute

This last part trips people up: after allowing permissions, open the extension again and click Connect LinkedIn one more time. The first click grants access; the second click actually connects the account.

Wait a minute or two, then check the Senders page. Your LinkedIn account will appear under your sender, ready to use in sequences.

Having trouble?
If the account still hasn’t appeared after a couple of minutes, the usual fix is logging in to linkedin.com and platform.verbiflow.com, then clicking Connect LinkedIn in the extension again. Still stuck? Ping us in the Verbiflow Slack community or email founders@getverbiflow.com and we’ll get you connected.
