HeyReach API and MCP server: endpoints, documentation and limits
HeyReach’s public API is included in every plan, Growth first. Its documentation sits on Postman and reaches most of the app: campaigns (create one, edit its sequence, add or stop leads, pause or resume it), Unibox conversations, from which messages can be sent, lead lists and tags, statistics, the blacklist, and the LinkedIn accounts themselves, which can be connected, reconnected or given another proxy. Agencies also get endpoints for workspaces, their users and their API keys.
Each call carries the key in an X-API-KEY header, and keys never expire unless you delete or deactivate them. Every request counts towards a single limit of 300 a minute, above which the API returns an error. Webhooks fire per campaign and per event. One point stays unclear: the help centre says enrichment credits cannot be spent through the API, while the documentation lists an email enrichment endpoint.
The MCP server, added in 2025, costs nothing extra according to HeyReach. Each workspace has its own connection URL and MCP key, found under Integrations, to paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Clay, n8n, Make or Visual Studio Code; an assistant can then write messages, segment leads or launch a campaign from a chat. A command-line tool for Mac and Windows comes with Claude "skills" to download.
Emelia’s API and webhooks are on every plan too, with a limit that rises with the plan: 100 requests a minute on Start, 300 on Grow, 1,000 on Scale.
HeyReach Chrome extension: a connector, mostly for Recruiter accounts
HeyReach’s Chrome extension, HeyReach Login, has one job: linking a LinkedIn account to HeyReach. It automates nothing in your browser; once the account is connected, campaigns run on HeyReach’s side, whether your computer is on or not.
A help centre article updated in August 2026 calls it the best way to connect a LinkedIn Recruiter account: you open LinkedIn and Recruiter in two tabs, pick "Connect via HeyReach Login", then choose whether HeyReach imports your last 30 days of LinkedIn conversations or only follows the ones it starts. Since LinkedIn allows a single Recruiter session, connecting the account to HeyReach signs you out of Recruiter in the browser, and the reverse. An older article on Recruiter, last updated in June 2025, recommends HeyReach’s "Infinite login" instead.
A standard LinkedIn account does without it. HeyReach connects it with your email and password, plus an optional 2FA key for a session that does not expire, or with your LinkedIn cookies, exported in Chrome through a third-party extension, Cookie-Editor; that cookie session ends as soon as you log out of LinkedIn on that computer.
Emelia’s Chrome extension also links your LinkedIn account to its campaigns, and does more. On a LinkedIn profile, a floating Emelia button finds the person’s email and phone number (credits are only used when they are found) and adds the person to an Emelia campaign, email, LinkedIn or multichannel. On a Sales Navigator search, an Export with Emelia button sends the search to Emelia, which extracts the leads (the extension).
Was HeyReach banned by LinkedIn? What happened in March 2026
On March 25, 2026, LinkedIn removed HeyReach's own company page and restricted the personal profiles of its CEO, CTO, CRO and CMO. HeyReach told the story itself in an article published on August 10, 2026: it says its customers' accounts were not touched, and that it can no longer advertise on LinkedIn.
The same article reports 50,406,739 invitations sent through HeyReach between the ban and its publication, with 21.3% accepted and a 30.7% reply rate. HeyReach is the only source for these numbers. Its site also states that it is not associated with or endorsed by LinkedIn.
Is HeyReach safe for your own account? No tool can promise that. HeyReach's answer lies in the daily limits it sets for each account (listed further down) and in its proxies: a dedicated static residential proxy per account on Growth; on Agency and Unlimited, its pricing FAQ asks you to bring your own proxies, while the plan card mentions a "custom solution" on request, without a price.

What HeyReach does: one LinkedIn campaign, many sender accounts
What is HeyReach? A cloud tool that automates LinkedIn outreach, and only LinkedIn: HeyReach calls itself "LinkedIn-specific". Each LinkedIn profile you connect is a sender, and one campaign can spread its leads across several senders. The product was launched in 2023.
Sender rotation
A campaign shares its leads between the LinkedIn accounts you assign to it: several profiles work through the same list, each within its own daily limits.
Unibox
One inbox for every connected account, with templates, attachments and team access. It covers LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Recruiter messages: replies by email stay in your email tool.
Client workspaces and white label
On the Agency and Unlimited plans, an agency gets a workspace per client, a shared pool of senders, a "master" view and its own brand on the app. Users are free and unlimited on every plan.
AI
"Auto-Tag" sorts replies into interested, not interested or generic (through OpenAI), and voice notes, still in beta, can be generated in a cloned voice, personalised for each lead.
HeyReach automation features and the limits on each sender
What a sequence can do, then how much each LinkedIn account is allowed to do per day according to the HeyReach help centre.
Invitations, messages and follow-ups
Connection requests with or without a note, messages and follow-ups, with "If connected" and "Open profile" conditions and A/B tests on messages.
InMails
Sent from accounts with Sales Navigator, on their own InMail credits: no extra cost from HeyReach, up to 40 a day per sender.
Likes, follows and profile visits
Engagement steps to warm a lead before the invitation, 40 of each per day and per sender, shared between campaigns.
Voice notes
A recording of your own, or an AI voice note in your cloned voice, personalised for each lead (in beta).
Limits per LinkedIn account
- Invitations per day
- Up to 40, 25 by default; 30 considered safe for a warmed-up account with over 1,000 connections
- Invitations per week
- Capped at 200 (limits article), but "around 100" in the "Is HeyReach safe" article
- All actions per day
- About 200 per account (visits, messages, invitations)
- Between two steps
- 3 hours minimum
- Condition checks

- Imports
- Sales Navigator searches, or up to 1,000 leads per sender and per import from a LinkedIn search

- 100 connections before automating, then 5 invitations a day the first week, 10 the second, 15 to 20 after
No email inside HeyReach: what Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison have to add
HeyReach sends no email itself. Where an email would go, its sequence offers an "Add to Instantly", "Add to Smartlead" or "Add to EmailBison" step, which needs an account and a plan with that tool; with Instantly and Smartlead, activity syncs back both ways. Under HeyReach's white label, the Instantly and Smartlead steps are not available.
What HeyReach does handle is finding the address: a "Find Email" step spends 1 credit per email found (FullEnrich does the lookup). We found no warm-up, no verifier for an imported list and no phone lookup in its documentation.
Emelia sends the cold emails itself, from 3, 50 or unlimited mailboxes depending on the plan, with warm-up and mailbox rotation included, in the same sequence as the LinkedIn steps.

HeyReach's column stays in dollars, the only currency it bills in, while Emelia's follows yours at the same figure: for a visitor paying in euros, a row only gets its check mark when the gap survives any exchange rate. HeyReach's Agency and Unlimited plans add white label and client workspaces. Each step from 1 to 300 accounts: HeyReach pricing.
