Each LinkedIn sender uses one sender seat. Owner or admin selects Add sender on Senders to add the row and spend the seat. Connecting LinkedIn is a later step on that sender.
Add sender on Senders
Only Owner or admin can add a sender. Members can see the list.
Open Senders.
Select Add sender.
Save the sender. That uses one licensed seat.
Leave connect for the next article. Do not start a verification code or captcha here.
Settings → Senders is the same list. Use either path.
If the workspace is at capacity, Add sender reads "No seats left". Delete a sender or choose a plan with more seats on Settings → Billing.
Statuses and the No seat badge
A new sender starts as Draft. Status then moves through Connecting, Challenge required, Active, Limited, Paused, Error, or Needs login. Active is the status that can send.
No seat is a license badge, not a status. Extra senders stay in the workspace but do not send until you license another seat.
