How often do the integrations between Google Sheets and LinkedIn run?
The frequency of running integrations depends on how they are configured. Our platform enables triggers to initiate actions as soon as an event occurs, typically within a few minutes. However, for premium features, you can schedule more frequent data updates if necessary.
Can I send personalized connection requests on LinkedIn using data from Google Sheets?
While sending personalized connection requests directly via our integration isn't supported due to privacy policies, you can create an organized workflow where details from Google Sheets guide your manual outreach on LinkedIn.
What happens if there's an error during the integration process?
If an error occurs during the integration process between Google Sheets and LinkedIn, our system will log these errors and notify you via email. You can then troubleshoot based on the error message or contact support for further assistance.

Are there any limitations when integrating Google Sheets with LinkedIn?
Some limitations include restrictions set by LinkedIn's API on available data fields and action capabilities. Therefore, while most basic functions are supported, some advanced actions might require custom solutions or third-party services.
