Capture and reply to LinkedIn from your CRM

LinkedIn connects through OAuth via Unipile, so your direct messages show up in Messaging, and you can opt in to log any chat to the contact and deal it belongs to.

Klipy connects to LinkedIn through OAuth via Unipile, the same infrastructure that connects WhatsApp and Telegram. Once linked, your direct messages show up automatically in Klipy's Messaging pane, a social-only view separate from email. Turning on CRM tracking for a chat, off by default, logs it to the matching contact and company record and lets Klipy draft a follow-up for your approval. Klipy doesn't log posts, comments, or likes as interactions, and it doesn't post, like, connect, or take any other visible action on LinkedIn on your behalf.

LinkedIn connects to Klipy through OAuth via Unipile. New DMs show up in Messaging within a few minutes; turning on CRM tracking for a chat, off by default, logs it to the right contact and company and lets Klipy draft a follow-up you approve. Capture covers direct messages, including Sales Navigator InMail that lands in your DM inbox; posts, comments, and likes aren't logged as interactions.

What LinkedIn integration does

Klipy connects to LinkedIn through OAuth via Unipile, the same infrastructure that connects WhatsApp and Telegram. Once connected, your LinkedIn direct messages show up automatically in Klipy's Messaging pane, a social-only view alongside WhatsApp and Telegram (email lives in its own feed). Turning on CRM tracking for a chat, an opt-in toggle that's off by default, logs that conversation to the matching contact and company record and lets Klipy draft a follow-up for your approval.

Klipy shows direct messages in Messaging automatically. Logging a chat as a CRM interaction, and drafting a follow-up from it, only happens once you switch on CRM tracking for that chat. Klipy doesn't log your posts, comments, or likes as interactions. See what Klipy captures for the full scope.

How it connects

Connect

Go to Settings, then Channels, then LinkedIn, and click to connect. Klipy opens an authorization flow through Unipile: sign in with your LinkedIn credentials and approve the requested access. New direct messages start appearing in Messaging within a few minutes, and the first connection backfills roughly the last 30 days of DM history. Full steps: Connecting LinkedIn.

Reconnect

If a connection needs re-authorizing, open Settings, reconnect the account, and re-approve access through the same Unipile flow. Klipy resumes syncing once you grant access.

Disconnect

Disconnect from Settings, then Channels, then LinkedIn, then Disconnect, or revoke access directly from LinkedIn's own Data privacy settings. Disconnecting stops new messages from syncing. Your contacts and company records stay in your workspace. See how connections work in Klipy and the managed inbox FAQ.

Trade-offs

Pros and cons

Pros

  • OAuth only, through Unipile. Klipy never asks for your LinkedIn password directly.
  • Captures the Sales Navigator InMail replies that land in your regular DM inbox; Sales Navigator itself is not required.
  • Opt-in CRM logging keeps LinkedIn and email context on the same contact timeline once you flip the toggle.
  • Each teammate connects their own account, so DMs stay tied to the rep who owns the relationship.
  • New direct messages appear in Messaging within a few minutes.

Cons

  • Doesn't log posts, comments, or likes as interactions, only the DM inbox.
  • Doesn't integrate with Sales Navigator's search, lead lists, or CRM sync features.
  • Backfill on first connect covers roughly the last 30 days; Klipy doesn't backfill older DMs.
  • Counts as one connected channel toward your plan's limit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Klipy read my LinkedIn posts or comments?

Klipy shows direct messages in Messaging automatically, but logging a chat as a CRM interaction only happens once you turn on CRM tracking for it. It doesn't log your posts, comments, or likes as interactions at all.

Does Klipy work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Yes, for the DM inbox. Sales Navigator InMail that lands in your regular LinkedIn DMs gets captured the same way as any other message. Klipy doesn't integrate with Sales Navigator's search, lead lists, or CRM sync features.

How far back does Klipy import LinkedIn messages?

About the last 30 days of DM history on first connection. Klipy doesn't backfill older messages.

Does connecting LinkedIn affect my LinkedIn account or visibility?

No. Klipy reads your DMs to sync them into Messaging. It doesn't post, like, connect, or take any other visible action on your behalf.

Can multiple team members connect their own LinkedIn?

Yes. Each person connects their own LinkedIn account independently.
