Connecting Your Accounts
Connect your X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts to AutoReach through the Chrome Extension. This is the only supported method for linking social accounts.
Important: Make sure you have installed the Chrome Extension and activated your license key first.
Email accounts: Gmail and Outlook are connected separately, not through the Chrome Extension. See Connecting Email for setup.
Connecting X (Twitter)
Visit x.com and make sure you are logged in
Click the AutoReach extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
Enter your name
Enter your 4-digit PIN for X DM Chat
Click Connect Account
The extension links your active browser session to AutoReach automatically.
Warning: Do not use automated engagement on X aggressively. Aggressive automated activity is the number one reason accounts get suspended. Start conservatively and increase gradually.
Connecting LinkedIn
Visit linkedin.com and make sure you are logged in
Click the AutoReach extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
Enter your first name and last name
Click Connect Account
The extension links your active browser session to AutoReach automatically.
Connecting Instagram
Visit instagram.com and make sure you are logged in
Click the AutoReach extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
Select Instagram and confirm the account
Click Connect Account
The extension links your active browser session to AutoReach automatically. When you are signed in to a single Instagram account, the extension can also refresh the session for you after you log back in. If you use multiple Instagram accounts, reconnect the specific one from the extension when prompted.
Warning: Instagram is sensitive to automated activity. Start conservatively, lean on the Engagement Engine to build activity before outreach, and keep daily action volumes modest on new accounts.
Proxy Configuration
A proxy is optional in AutoReach, and you choose how to set one up during onboarding (not at signup). You have two options:
Managed: AutoReach provisions a secure ISP residential static proxy for you. Activation is included in the $20 signup fee; if you keep the managed proxy after the trial, it costs $15/mo. A single managed proxy is shared across your LinkedIn, X, and Instagram accounts.
Bring your own (BYOP): Free. Enter your proxy host, port, username, and password (HTTP or SOCKS5). AutoReach verifies the proxy connects before saving it.
ISP residential static proxies use real internet service provider IPs, making your activity indistinguishable from a normal user. You can add, edit, or switch proxies any time from the Proxies page (/proxies).
LinkedIn Daily Connection Limits
LinkedIn enforces daily limits on connection requests. AutoReach tracks these automatically:
AutoReach lets you set a daily connection request limit per account. Any whole number from 1 to 100 is allowed (default 15, which is the recommended starting point). Choose a limit that matches your account type and risk tolerance - lower limits are safer for new or free accounts.
These limits reset daily. AutoReach tracks your usage and pauses connection requests when you approach the limit. If a connection request gets rate-limited, it enters a deferred state and automatically resumes the next day.
Inbound Engagement Detection
AutoReach monitors your accounts for inbound engagement and processes it as buying signals.
X (Twitter): Retweets, likes on your posts, and new followers.
LinkedIn: Reactions on your posts, comments on your content, mentions of you, and new connections.
Someone engaging with your content may be a potential buyer. AutoReach can automatically create leads from high-intent engagers and update signals on existing leads.
Account Health
AutoReach continuously monitors your account health and warns you when something is wrong. See Account Safety for details on error handling, cooldowns, and emergency pausing.
Prevention Tips
Use a residential proxy (managed or bring-your-own) for your accounts
Set realistic daily action limits (start conservatively on new accounts)
Space out your sequences with wait periods
Do not engage with spam, adult, or hateful content
Start with the Engagement Engine to build activity history before launching sequences
Monitor your account health regularly in the Accounts page
Troubleshooting
"Cookies Invalid" - Your session has expired. Open the Chrome Extension, click the three dots next to the account, and click Reconnect.
"Proxy Connection Failed" - Check your proxy on the Proxies page. If you bring your own proxy (BYOP), verify the host, port, username, and password are still valid and re-save to re-run the connectivity check. If you use a managed proxy and see persistent errors, contact support at hello@autoreach.tech.
"Rate Limited" - You have hit the platform's action limit. Wait for the cooldown to expire. Consider lowering your daily limits.
LinkedIn account keeps disconnecting - The most common cause is signing in to the same LinkedIn account from multiple browsers, phones, or devices. Each new sign-in causes LinkedIn to rotate your session token and invalidate the cookies AutoReach is using. Open LinkedIn and go to Settings & Privacy > Sign In & Security > Where you're signed in, then end any sessions you do not actively use. Going forward, keep LinkedIn signed in on a single browser only. See Troubleshooting: LinkedIn Account: Repeatedly Disconnects for the full procedure.
AutoReach's proxy is not visible in LinkedIn's "Where you're signed in" list - This is expected. AutoReach reuses your browser's session cookie rather than performing a full login, so no separate session entry is created in LinkedIn. The Accounts page in AutoReach is the source of truth for connection health.
Next Steps
Once your accounts are connected:
Connect Email to add Gmail and/or Outlook as a third channel (optional but recommended)
Create an Offer to define your target audience and message tone
Build a Sequence to automate outreach
Launch Autopilot for fully automated pipeline management
