Emplifi uses the LinkedIn session that’s currently active in the same browser. So make sure it’s the correct one!
In case you're not sure what profile you're logged into right now, we recommend logging out of any active LinkedIn profile in your browser - this way, Emplifi will ask you to newly log in to your LinkedIn Profile for authorization.Log in to your LinkedIn profile in order to complete the authorization.
Your LinkedIn profile login credentials will always be requested to continue with data connections. Ensure the conditions specified in the prerequisites section are fulfilled. If this is the first time a connection between Emplifi and LinkedIn has been made for this profile, make sure to allow the sync by clicking Allow.
If everything is followed accordingly, your permissions will be successfully connected.
