Warmup is the process of gradually increasing the number of actions ReachBoost takes on your LinkedIn account before running it at full speed. It is not optional - skipping warmup is the fastest way to get your LinkedIn account restricted.

Before you start

·        Your LinkedIn account must already be connected to ReachBoost

·        Warmup starts automatically when you connect an account - this article explains what it means and what to expect

·        Do not launch a high-volume campaign until warmup is complete

What warmup does

When you first connect a LinkedIn account, ReachBoost starts at low daily send volumes and gradually increases them over time. This mimics natural human behaviour on LinkedIn and avoids triggering LinkedIn's spam detection.

The warmup progress is shown as a percentage on the LinkedIn accounts page.

·        0–30% - Very low daily activity. Do not run campaigns yet.

·        30–70% - Moderate activity. You can start campaigns with conservative limits (5–10 per day).

·        70–100% -

Account is warmed up. You can run at normal limits (10–15 per day).

How to check your warmup status

1. Go to LinkedIn accounts

In the left sidebar, click LinkedIn accounts.

2. Check the warmup badge

Next to your account's Connected status, you will see a warmup percentage. This updates automatically as your account progresses.

3. Click View Details for more information

Click the View Details button next to your account to see more detail about its current status and activity.

Expected result

·        Your account shows a warmup percentage that increases over time

·        The percentage moves faster when the account is actively used in campaigns

·        Full warmup (100%) typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on activity level

Do's and don'ts during warmup

Do:

·        Keep the account connected and active - warmup only progresses when ReachBoost is running

·        Start with low daily limits (5–10) while warming up

·        Use your LinkedIn account normally in the meantime (browsing, reacting, messaging manually)

Don't:

·        Launch a campaign with limits of 20–30/day before warmup is complete

·        Disconnect and reconnect the account repeatedly - this resets progress

·        Ignore the warmup percentage and go straight to full volume

If warmup is not progressing

·        Make sure your account is still showing as Connected - a disconnected account does not accumulate warmup

·        Make sure at least one campaign is active, even a small one - warmup progresses through real activity

·        If the account has been connected for more than a week with no progress, check for any LinkedIn security alerts by logging in directly
