To disconnect a LinkedIn account from a PhantomBuster workspace, go to Users & accounts in your workspace settings and click Remove Linked Account next to the relevant profile. If you're not a workspace member (for example, you shared access via a magic link), you can revoke access from LinkedIn's own settings by ending your active sessions. This guide covers all three scenarios: disconnecting your own account as a member, revoking access as an external user, and removing someone else's connection as a workspace owner.
When you are a workspace member
1. Hover over your name in the top-right corner of your PhantomBuster workspace.
2. If you have more than one workspace, ensure the correct workspace is selected from the drop-down menu next to your currently active workspace name. Look for the ✔️ symbol next to the active workspace name.
3. Under your Workspace section, click on Users & accounts.
4. You are now in your workspace's Users tab. Click the three dots next to your name and select Remove Linked Account.
When you are not a workspace member
1. Log into your LinkedIn account and go to Settings.
2. Navigate to Sign-in & Security.
3. Click End these sessions to revoke LinkedIn access.
4. To complete the process and end your current session, log out of LinkedIn. This action will sign you out of your LinkedIn account, and your connection will no longer be accessible in PhantomBuster until you reshare it.
Removing an external user’s LinkedIn connection (imported via magic link)
1. Hover over your name in the top-right corner of your PhantomBuster workspace.
2. If you have more than one workspace, ensure the correct workspace is selected from the drop-down menu next to your currently active workspace name. Look for the ✔️ symbol next to the active workspace name.
3. Under your Workspace section, click on Users & accounts.
4. You are now in your workspace's Users tab. Click on the three dots on the far right of the user’s card and select Remove external user.
Frequently asked questions
Will disconnecting my LinkedIn account delete my Phantom data?
No. Disconnecting your LinkedIn account only removes the session connection. Your Phantoms, Workflows, results, and settings remain in the Workspace. However, any automation that depends on that LinkedIn session will stop working until a new session is connected.
Can I reconnect after disconnecting?
Yes. You can reconnect at any time using the browser extension or by manually pasting a new session cookie. If you're an external user, the workspace owner will need to send you a new magic link.
What happens if I just log out of LinkedIn instead of disconnecting in PhantomBuster?
Logging out of LinkedIn invalidates your session cookie, which means PhantomBuster will no longer be able to run automations on that account. However, the connection will still appear in the Workspace's Users & accounts section until it's manually removed. For a clean disconnect, it's best to remove the connection from both sides.
