How do I link my LinkedIn account to Scout?

Linking your LinkedIn account to BluChip Scout is easy—and it helps automate your LinkedIn outreach, from connection requests to profile views and messages.

Here’s how to link your LinkedIn account:

  1. Log into Scout
    Go to your BluChip Scout dashboard.

  2. Navigate to the LinkedIn settings
    In the sidebar, click on Settings (or LinkedIn Integration depending on your version).

  3. Click “Connect LinkedIn”
    Scout will prompt you to sign in to your LinkedIn account. If you’re already logged in to LinkedIn, this will be a seamless process.

  4. Grant permissions
    Allow Scout the necessary permissions to send connection requests, send messages, and view profiles. These permissions ensure Scout can automate your outreach effectively.

  5. Complete the connection
    Once connected, Scout will sync with your LinkedIn account. You can then start using LinkedIn actions within your outreach sequences—like connection requests, profile views, and LinkedIn messages.

Pro tip: Keep your LinkedIn profile up-to-date so your outreach feels relevant and accurate, and avoid using overly generic connection requests.

With LinkedIn linked to Scout, your outreach is fully integrated across both email and LinkedIn—giving you a seamless multi-channel approach.

Contact Look-Ups

Unlock verified email and LinkedIn info for your target contacts so you can reach out directly. Each time you unlock a person’s contact information (email, LinkedIn, and more), it counts as a contact look-up. Your plan includes a set number of credits to use toward these look-ups.
