events.podcastersdirectoryQ: What about issues with LinkedIn flagging my account
Hey Oskar Sendpilot sounds AMAZING!!! My question/concern is about LI possibly flagging and blocking access to my account which did happen using another LI automation tool.
Having said that, I'd be hesitate in using my personal LI account... So can I use LI accounts that are set us a business vs. personal account?
If we can't use an active LI business profile then would you recommend setting up a new LI personal account? If so, then when a prospect receives a message it might seem odd or even like spam since it's a brand new account with no or little activity and no other LI members connected etc.
So is there a work around you might suggest?
Sorry for so many questions Just watched your video and SENDPILOT seems AMAZING!!! I really like building connections and business on LinkedIn so I'm very excited to join SendPilot!
Mahalo,

Your concern is valid.
First, automation can only run from personal LinkedIn profiles, not company pages.
Second, creating a brand-new profile purely for outreach is usually more risky, not less.
New accounts with:
• Low connection count
• No activity history
• Sudden outbound behavior
can get restricted quickly, even with manual outreach.
If you don’t want to use your main profile, you have two structured options:
1) Use a properly aged secondary profile
This could be an existing personal profile that has real activity and connections.
2) Rent aged profiles from specialized providers
Some vendors (like Mirror Profiles) provide aged, warmed-up LinkedIn accounts prepared for outreach. That’s often safer than starting from scratch.
What you generally should avoid is:
• Brand-new empty accounts
• Sudden high-volume outreach
• Sharing logins across random IPs without proper infrastructure
About proxies
Most LinkedIn automation tools (including us) operate using proxies. This helps keep account sessions stable and consistent.
With Sendpilot:
• We provide managed rotating proxies by default
• You can select the country
• You can also bring your own dedicated residential proxy if you prefer full control
The key is IP consistency and realistic usage patterns.
No tool can promise zero risk, but aged accounts + human verification + gradual scaling + high reply/acceptance rates + stable proxy setup dramatically reduce issues. I've blasted out messages from 8 accounts for 5 months now and have never once gotten restricted.
How long ago did your LinkedIn account get restricted?
How did you set up 8 accounts?
I wonder if we could switch an aged company page to a personal LinkedIn profile
I have also had the exact same issues, even with an aged account, account has had warning twice and I lost it once (luckily got it back). Even with super low outreach like 5-10 messages per day, still have been flagged. Any work arounds as I want your software

Sorry for the late reply, these comments sometimes get buried.
1. You can’t convert a company page into a personal profile. LinkedIn outreach must come from personal accounts (we cover scaling setups in Sendpilot Academy).
2. If you were flagged at 5-10/day, it’s often due to shared proxies. Sendpilot matches proxies to your real location to avoid that mismatch.
