Switching between LinkedIn accounts

Switching between LinkedIn accounts

If you have access to more than one connected LinkedIn account in wrrk — for example, your personal LinkedIn plus a team-shared company LinkedIn — a small account switcher appears in the LinkedIn module's top-right header.

When the switcher shows up

The switcher auto-hides for users who only have access to one account, because there's nothing to switch between. It appears the moment you become a teammate on a shared account or connect a second LinkedIn yourself.

What the trigger button shows:

• The active account's avatar (or the LinkedIn logo if no avatar synced).
• The account's name, truncated.
• A 👥 Team chip if the active account is shared with the team.
• An amber ⚠ icon if the account needs to be reconnected (see Reconnect below).
• A small caret that opens the dropdown.

What's inside the dropdown

Every LinkedIn account you can read — your own plus any flipped to Team scope by their owner. Each row carries:

• Avatar + display name.
• A 🔒 Personal or 👥 Team chip.
• LinkedIn profile slug (linkedin.com/in/...) + status.
• "shared with you" suffix when the account isn't yours.
• A check mark on the currently-selected row.
• An amber ⚠ Needs reconnect notice if the account's OAuth token has lapsed — different copy for owners ("open Settings") vs teammates ("ask the owner").

There's a Manage connected accounts link at the bottom that takes you to Settings.

What switching actually does

Switching changes the active account in the UI surface but doesn't filter the campaigns, conversations, or dashboard lists you see — those already reflect every account you can read. The switcher is mostly informational: it tells you which identity you're operating under and persists your preference (in browser localStorage, keyed per-user) so it survives reloads and tab moves.

Importantly, the switcher does NOT change which LinkedIn account you're logged into on linkedin.com itself. That browser session is separate and outside wrrk's reach (browser security blocks us from reading or changing it). See [share-linkedin-account-with-team] for the full story on why this matters when sending from a team-shared account.

Reconnect

When an account's status flips to error or disconnected — usually because the Nango OAuth token expired or its scopes were revoked — the switcher surfaces the issue with:

• The amber warning chip on the active-account trigger.
• A red Needs reconnect row in the dropdown menu.

If you're the owner: click into Settings and re-run the Connect LinkedIn flow for that account.

If you're a teammate (the account is shared with you): you can't OAuth on someone else's behalf. The dropdown tells you to ping the owner so they can do it. In the meantime you can still see the cached data, but new sends from that account will fail at the LinkedIn end.
