Aimfox users often have questions about managing campaign targets, weekly outreach limits, and how LinkedIn’s own restrictions can impact the sending of Connection Requests or InMails. This article explains campaign interaction limitations and LinkedIn’s own limits to help you effectively manage campaigns.
Campaign Targets and Weekly Outreach Limits
When setting up campaigns in Aimfox, two important limitations apply:
Campaign Target Limit: You can add up to 1,000 targets per single campaign (or 10,000 for List and CRM campaigns). This limit defines how many profiles can be loaded into a campaign at one time.
Weekly Connection Request Limit: LinkedIn determines connection request limits on a per-account basis. The number of connection requests available depends on your LinkedIn account's trust level, age, activity history, and other factors determined by LinkedIn. Newer accounts typically go through a warm-up period, during which LinkedIn gradually increases the number of interactions they can perform.
You can view and manage your account's interaction limits from the Accounts page in Aimfox. For newer LinkedIn accounts, we recommend enabling Warm-up to gradually increase activity and help establish a healthy account history. Aimfox automatically respects your account's available interaction limits and adjusts campaign activity accordingly to help keep your outreach within LinkedIn's allowed thresholds.
Factors Affecting Connection Invite Volumes
Despite Aimfox’s configured limits, users may notice a lower-than-expected volume of connection invites sent during their campaigns. This can happen due to restrictions imposed by LinkedIn, which is independent of Aimfox’s platform. Key points to consider include:
LinkedIn Account Invite Limits: LinkedIn enforces its own variable invite limits for accounts. These limits depend on factors like account trust level, recent activity, and LinkedIn’s internal algorithms. If these limits are lower than the threshold set in Aimfox, invites will be sent at a reduced pace.
Cooldown State: In scenarios where LinkedIn detects high activity or unusual behavior, it may temporarily limit an account’s ability to perform actions, resulting in lower invite volumes.
Practical Recommendations
To optimize your campaigns while adhering to these limitations, consider the following:
Monitor LinkedIn activity on your account frequently to ensure it stays within healthy usage levels.
Understand the differences between Aimfox and LinkedIn’s imposed limits to set realistic expectations for campaign performance.
Avoid actions that might trigger LinkedIn’s cooldown state by following best practices, such as gradually increasing account activity.
By understanding these limitations and adapting campaign strategies accordingly, users can maximize outreach while minimizing interruptions.
