# Connected Accounts

LinkedIn and Instagram senders this organization reaches out from.

## What a connected account is

Connected accounts are the LinkedIn and Instagram senders this organization reaches out from. A connected account is active, paused, needs reconnect, or disconnected.

## Sending

Campaigns send from the organization's connected accounts on the channels the sequence uses. Each connected account has usage limits per action. You can pause a connected account or change those limits.

## Connecting

Connect one in the dashboard. The API can list, update, and delete connected accounts. Connecting a new one is dashboard-only.

## LinkedIn

Through a connected account, without a campaign, you can look up a profile, send a message, or read a conversation. You can also search people, send or withdraw a connection request, and list connections.

In a campaign sequence the LinkedIn steps are connection request, withdraw request, message, InMail, and profile view. A sequence can wait until a reply or an accepted connection request, and can branch on whether they are already a connection.

## Instagram

Through a connected account, without a campaign, you can look up a profile, send a message, or read a conversation. You can also follow and unfollow.

In a campaign sequence the Instagram steps are message, profile view, follow, and unfollow. A sequence can wait until a reply.
