Social platforms can limit or restrict accounts at their discretion. No configuration can guarantee that an account will avoid warnings or restrictions.
1. Avoid Overlapping Automation
Do not run multiple tools that automate the same social account at the same time. Overlapping actions can create duplicate requests, unexpected activity, and conflicting schedules.
Before enabling FirstTouch social actions:
- Pause outreach in other automation tools connected to the account.
- Cancel queued actions in those tools where appropriate.
- Revoke access from tools you no longer use through the social platform’s connected-app and session settings.
- Confirm that only the intended FirstTouch sender account is active for the Team.
Signing out of a browser session does not necessarily revoke a third-party application’s access. Use the platform’s security settings to review active sessions and connected applications.
2. Review Browser Extensions
Review extensions that interact with the same social platform, especially extensions that automate actions, scrape pages in bulk, modify page controls, or manage the inbox.
Open chrome://extensions and remove or disable extensions you do not need. If another extension performs automated social actions, keep it inactive while FirstTouch is operating.
3. Start Conservatively
Social platforms do not publish universal safe limits, and enforcement can vary by account history, subscription, activity pattern, and platform policy. Treat any configured FirstTouch limit as an operational ceiling, not a guarantee.
For a new or recently inactive account:
- Begin with low daily activity.
- Increase activity gradually only when the account remains healthy.
- Keep targeting relevant and messages personalized.
- Pause automation if the platform displays a warning, verification request, or temporary limit.
4. Separate Manual And Automated Activity
Use your sending schedule to avoid running FirstTouch social actions during periods when you expect to use the account manually. This reduces overlapping activity and makes account behavior easier to review.
Before launch, confirm:
- the sender’s Work Schedule and time zone are correct
- daily limits match your team’s outreach policy
- queued actions belong to the intended sender
- the sender account is connected and synchronized
5. Monitor Account Health
Review the Social Outreach Queue and the social platform regularly. Pause sending and investigate when you see:
- identity or security challenges
- repeated failed actions
- platform rate-limit messages
- an unexpected increase in pending invitations
- negative replies or declining acceptance quality
Your use of FirstTouch must comply with the social platform’s current terms and policies. Review LinkedIn’s User Agreement and Professional Community Policies before running LinkedIn outreach.
See Trust and Safety Policies for additional guidance on activity and message quality.
