The account warm-up is a built-in safety feature designed to help keep your LinkedIn account safe while using ReachBoost. Warm-up is automatically enabled as soon as you connect your LinkedIn account and gradually increases activity levels until your account reaches its normal operating limits. ### Why does ReachBoost use a warm-up? Suddenly starting a large amount of automated activity can increase risk on LinkedIn accounts. The warm-up process gradually introduces activity, allowing your account to slowly adapt to automation and maintain natural behavior patterns. A gradual increase in activity is generally safer than immediately running campaigns at full capacity. --- ### How does the warm-up work? When you connect your LinkedIn account, ReachBoost performs a health check on your account. Based on this assessment, your account is placed into a specific warm-up pool. Factors that may influence the warm-up duration include the overall health and activity history of your LinkedIn account. Depending on the outcome of this assessment, the warm-up period typically lasts between **2 and 4 weeks**. During this period, ReachBoost progressively works towards the maximum number of actions that can safely be executed on your account. --- ### Can I manually enable warm-up? Yes. If warm-up has been disabled, you can manually enable it again. This is especially recommended if: * You have not run campaigns for an extended period of time. * Your LinkedIn account has been inactive for a while. * You want to gradually restart outreach activities. --- ### Can I disable warm-up? Yes, warm-up can also be manually disabled. However, we generally do not recommend doing this. Disabling warm-up may increase the risk of introducing activity too quickly. For maximum account safety, we recommend keeping warm-up enabled. --- ### Summary The warm-up feature helps to: * Gradually increase LinkedIn activity levels * Maintain natural account behavior * Adapt activity based on your account health * Improve long-term account safety For most users, keeping warm-up enabled is the recommended approach to ensure outreach campaigns can scale safely over time.
