HeyReach is a LinkedIn automation platform designed specifically for agencies and teams that need to run outreach at scale across multiple LinkedIn accounts. This guide covers what it does, how it fits in a B2B GTM stack, and when it makes sense to use it.

What HeyReach Does

HeyReach lets you run LinkedIn outreach campaigns across multiple sender accounts simultaneously. Instead of being limited to one LinkedIn profile's daily action limits, you can distribute outreach across 5, 10, or more accounts, significantly increasing your total addressable volume without triggering LinkedIn's spam detection.

Core capabilities:

  • Multi-account management: connect and manage multiple LinkedIn accounts from a single dashboard
  • Campaign automation: build connection request sequences, message sequences, and follow-up flows
  • Lead import: pull prospects from LinkedIn Search, Sales Navigator, or CSV imports
  • Inbox management: centralized inbox for managing replies across all connected accounts
  • Analytics: connection rates, reply rates, and campaign performance by account
  • Integrations: push data to CRMs, email tools, and automation platforms via webhook or native integrations

Who HeyReach Is For

HeyReach is built for teams, not solo users. Specifically:

  • B2B agencies running LinkedIn outreach for multiple clients, where each client needs their own set of LinkedIn accounts and campaigns
  • Sales teams where multiple SDRs are running outreach simultaneously and need centralized reporting and inbox management
  • Growth teams at SaaS or tech companies that have moved beyond what a single LinkedIn account can do in terms of volume

If you're a solo founder or individual SDR running outreach from one account, HeyReach is more than you need. A simpler tool like Dripify covers that use case at lower cost.

How HeyReach Fits in a B2B GTM Stack

LinkedIn outreach doesn't operate in isolation. Here's how HeyReach typically connects to the rest of the stack:

Data input

HeyReach can pull prospects from:

  • LinkedIn Search (basic)
  • Sales Navigator searches (with Sales Navigator access)
  • CSV uploads (from Clay, Apollo, or manual list builds)
  • Webhook triggers from external tools

For most serious outbound operations, prospect lists are built in Clay (enriched, scored, personalized) and then pushed into HeyReach campaigns via CSV or webhook.

Outreach execution

HeyReach handles the LinkedIn side:

  • Connection requests (with or without a note)
  • First message after acceptance
  • Follow-up sequence
  • InMail for accounts with Sales Navigator

It manages daily action limits per account to stay within LinkedIn's tolerances.

Email follow-up

LinkedIn-only outreach has lower coverage than multichannel. HeyReach offers email enrichment and prospects can be pushed to email sequencers e.g. Instantly and Smartlead via internal integration — so a LinkedIn connection that doesn't reply can receive a parallel email sequence.

CRM and reporting

Accepted connections and replies can be pushed to CRM via webhook or native integration. This keeps your pipeline data centralized rather than siloed in the LinkedIn inbox.

HeyReach Pricing

HeyReach pricing is based on the number of LinkedIn accounts connected, not per seat or per lead. This makes it cost-effective for agency use cases where you're managing many sender accounts.

Plans start at $79/month for up to 3 LinkedIn accounts. Agency plans support more accounts and add team management features.

Compared to alternatives:

  • Dripify: lower cost, single account, simpler feature set
  • Expandi: similar price range, more focused on single-account safety
  • Waalaxy: includes email, simpler interface, lower volume ceiling

The Multi-Account Advantage

The primary reason teams choose HeyReach over alternatives is the multi-account architecture.

LinkedIn limits individual accounts to roughly 100–150 connection requests per week. For a serious B2B outreach operation targeting thousands of prospects per month, that's a hard ceiling.

With HeyReach and 5 connected accounts, that ceiling effectively becomes 500–750 connection requests per week. With 10 accounts: 1,000–1,500 per week.

This matters most for:

  • Agencies running outreach on behalf of clients (each client gets dedicated sending accounts)
  • SDR teams where each rep has their own LinkedIn but campaigns need to be coordinated centrally
  • Growth operations that need consistent pipeline generation at scale

Safety and LinkedIn Risk

LinkedIn automation carries platform risk. Accounts that behave unnaturally — too many connection requests, messages sent at suspicious times, patterns that don't match human behavior — can be restricted or banned.

HeyReach mitigates this by:

  • Enforcing per-account daily limits
  • Randomizing action timing to simulate human behavior
  • Supporting dedicated residential proxies per account
  • Monitoring account health and flagging at-risk accounts

The risk isn't zero, but it's manageable with the right setup. Accounts used for cold outreach should ideally be established profiles with history, not newly created accounts.

Comparison

LinkedIn vs Cold Email

Complementary channels, not substitutes. Each plays a different role in your outbound stack.

Factor
LinkedIn
Cold Email
Volume ceiling
Lower. Limited by accounts.
Higher. Scalable with more inboxes.
Deliverability risk
Account restrictions
Domain reputation
Personalization context
LinkedIn activity visible
Less social context

Building relationships, senior contacts
Volume outreach, follow-up sequences
Cost
Per connected account
Per inbox / domain
Bottom line: the most effective outbound operations use both. LinkedIn for initial contact and relationship building. Cold email for follow-up and volume.

HeyReach Integrations

HeyReach connects to the broader GTM stack via:

  • Webhooks: trigger actions in other tools when specific LinkedIn events happen (connection accepted, message replied, etc.)
  • Native CRM integrations: HubSpot, Pipedrive
  • Clay: push enriched prospects into campaigns via CSV or direct integration
  • Zapier / Make: for custom workflows not covered by native integrations

Setting Up HeyReach: The Basic Workflow

  1. Connect LinkedIn accounts: each account needs a dedicated proxy for safety
  2. Import prospects: from Sales Navigator, LinkedIn Search, or CSV
  3. Build campaign sequence: connection request → first message → follow-ups
  4. Set daily limits: HeyReach enforces conservative defaults, adjust per account age and health
  5. Monitor inbox: replies land in HeyReach's centralized inbox, assign to team members or push to CRM
  6. Connect email follow-up: for prospects who don't reply on LinkedIn, push to an email sequence

Common HeyReach Use Cases

Agency client acquisition

Agencies use HeyReach to run LinkedIn outreach for their own business development using agency-owned LinkedIn accounts, keeping client and agency campaigns separated.

SDR team coordination

Each SDR connects their own LinkedIn account. HeyReach provides centralized campaign management, reporting, and inbox — so managers can see aggregate performance without switching between individual accounts.

ABM (Account-Based Marketing)

Build target account lists in Clay, push to HeyReach, and run coordinated multi-threading campaigns where multiple stakeholders at the same account receive connection requests from different senders.

Event follow-up

After a conference or webinar, import attendee lists and run a personalized connection sequence referencing the event as context.

Limitations

  • LinkedIn-only: HeyReach focuses on LinkedIn. Email requires integration with a separate tool.
  • Account-based pricing: cost scales with the number of connected accounts, not the number of leads. For solo users, this is inefficient.
  • Platform risk: no LinkedIn automation tool eliminates account restriction risk entirely. This is an inherent limitation of automating activity on a platform that doesn't officially support automation.
  • Connection request limits: even with multiple accounts, you're still bounded by LinkedIn's per-account limits. HeyReach scales by adding accounts, not by bypassing limits.

When HeyReach Makes Sense

HeyReach is the right choice when:

  • You're running LinkedIn outreach across 3+ accounts
  • You need centralized inbox management for a team
  • You're an agency managing outreach for multiple clients
  • LinkedIn is a primary channel in your GTM motion (not an afterthought)

It's not the right choice when:

  • You're a solo user running outreach from one account
  • LinkedIn is a minor part of your outreach (email is the primary channel)
  • You need a single tool for both LinkedIn and email sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HeyReach safe for LinkedIn accounts?

HeyReach is built with safety in mind: per-account limits, human-behavior timing, and proxy support. But no automation tool eliminates platform risk entirely. Use established accounts, stay within recommended limits, and don't push limits aggressively on new accounts.

Can HeyReach send emails?

HeyReach focuses on LinkedIn. For email outreach, you'd use a separate tool (Instantly, Smartlead, etc.) and push leads from HeyReach to the email tool via integration when prospects don't reply on LinkedIn.

How does HeyReach compare to Dripify?

Dripify is simpler and cheaper, designed for single-account users. HeyReach is built for multi-account operations and teams. If you're running outreach from one LinkedIn account, Dripify is likely sufficient. If you need multi-account management and team features, HeyReach is the better fit.

Does HeyReach integrate with Clay?

Yes. The typical workflow is: build enriched prospect lists in Clay, export as CSV or push via webhook, import into HeyReach campaigns. Clay handles the data enrichment and personalization; HeyReach handles the LinkedIn execution.

What's included in the centralized inbox?

All LinkedIn messages and replies across all connected accounts appear in a single inbox. You can assign conversations to team members, filter by account or campaign, and push replies to CRM or other tools via webhook.
