How to Set Up Your Botdog.co Account

Follow these three simple steps to get started with LinkedIn automation:

1. Create an Account with Your Email address

At Botdog.co, we prioritize security. That's why we use email authentication instead of passwords.

• Visit the Botdog.co website and click on "Sign Up" or "Get Started"
• Enter your email address
• Check your inbox for a verification email from Botdog.co
• Click the verification link in the email to access your account

This method is more secure than traditional passwords and eliminates the need to remember complex login credentials.

2. Connect Your LinkedIn Profile

Botdog connects to LinkedIn personal profiles. LinkedIn Business/Company pages are not supported for sending connection requests or messages because LinkedIn only allows those actions from personal profiles.

To connect your LinkedIn account:

• Once logged in, click the "Start by connecting your account" blue button on your dashboard.
• Follow the prompts to authorize Botdog.co.
• You'll be redirected to a LinkedIn login screen to confirm the connection. Select the "Credentials" method and enter your LinkedIn login details.
• After confirming, you'll be brought back to your Botdog.co dashboard.

Remember, Botdog.co values your privacy and security. It only accesses the LinkedIn data necessary for automation purposes.

3. Create a team and invite team members (optional)

To manage multiple LinkedIn accounts from one Botdog workspace:

• Go to Team settings
• Click Create a team
• Invite the team member using their email address. The invitation email does not need to match the email connected to their LinkedIn account.
• The invited person accepts the email invitation and creates their Botdog account.
• They then connect their LinkedIn account separately during setup.

Each team member's LinkedIn account, campaigns, and messages remain separate, while you can manage them from the same workspace. If an invitation expires, an admin can resend it from Team settings.

4. Start Your First Campaign

With your account set up and LinkedIn connected, you're ready to launch your first campaign:

• Navigate to your dashboard
• Click on "Start a new campaign"
• Follow the step-by-step guide to set up your campaign goals, target audience, and messaging
• Review your settings and click "Launch Campaign"

That's it! You've successfully set up your Botdog.co account and started your first LinkedIn automation campaign.

Follow these steps if you have trouble accessing your Botdog account:

Verification email or sign-in issues

Botdog uses email authentication instead of passwords. Enter your account email and check your inbox for the verification email, then click the link to access your account. If the sign-in page keeps refreshing and you cannot enter your email, the issue may be a temporary app bug; try again later and contact support if it continues.

“Already connected” or LinkedIn connection errors

If reconnecting after an accidental cancellation or pause says that you are already connected:

1. Open Account settings.
2. Click Disconnect again.
3. Try connecting your LinkedIn account again.

If you see a general LinkedIn connection error, contact support so the account connection can be checked and fixed.

Account email is incorrect or inaccessible

If you can access the account, change the email address from Account settings by selecting Change email address, entering the new address, saving, and clicking the verification link sent to that address. If you cannot access the account or need the change handled for you, contact support with an email address where you can be reached.

Subscription or billing concerns

If you cannot log in and believe you are still being charged after cancellation, contact support with your account email and billing details. If another member of your company has an active subscription, specify which account should be cancelled.

If the problem persists, include the exact error message and, when possible, a screenshot or screen recording.
