FAQ

Can it be safely used from Europe? Reviews are mixed, some say they got banned immediately. What do you say?

Closely can definitely be used from Europe, almost half of our clients are based in Europe. Account getting banned does not depend on the geo, it depends on the LinkedIn account. It’s important for account to be real and not just created. LinkedIn can ban fake accounts. Also, we always provide recommendations and precautions you can adhere to to make sure your account won’t get restricted.

Any plans to get back to Appsumo? In another comment, I saw that in April you write not in the next 1-2 months. Maybe now?

We might, but not for the next month or two, however.

Zoho is my email provider. How can I connect?

Please reach out to our support team in the chat window in Closely, they will tell you what the options are.

How many prospects can I upload at once and emails per month. Can I use this tool as cold emailing tool?

You can upload up to 5000 prospects per campaign and send 100 emails per day. Yes, you can.

Are there any new upcoming features on the horizon? As I can not see the roadmap.

We just released an updated dashboard with pretty extensive analytics. Campaigns 3.0 will be released (with this update, you’ll have the ability to run more parallel campaigns, set time delays in minutes, extend the campaign after the contacts respond, launch campaigns for your network with a CSV file, and much more). In addition, we’ll be releasing integrations with new CRMs (Pipedrive and Salesforce). So we have a lot of plans for the next couple of months 🙂

Hi, I just wanted to know if I purchase a Tier 1 license with one code, Will there be an option to upgrade to another tier with a lifetime plan in the future?

Yes, there will be such opportunities later on. Yes, you will get only 2000 monthly credits but you won’t get a LinkedIn and email seat to launch the campaigns. We’ll be adding the possibility to extend the campaign after the contacts reply.

What’s the difference between Closely and Heyreach?

As I see, Heyreach doesn’t have email automation and multichannel campaigns, also they don’t have a B2B database. However, you can take a look at our product info in our help center: https://help.closelyhq.com/en/ as well as on our YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@closely5370 and you will see how we’re different from Heyreach 🙂

Can i change the linkedin and mail seat when i want to change my campaing?

You can delete your LinkedIn and email accounts connected to Closely when you want and change them with the new ones.

Im from Perú (latinamerica) can i use closely from my country or its only for USA and others selected countries?

Sure, you can use Closely from your country.

Which are the security points from get ACC banned? (like limited number of messages/day, random time delay within each message or others)?

Closely has a warm-up mode mimicking human behavior, dedicated proxies for each user, adherence to LinkedIn limits (limited number of messages/day), working hours (when you can choose the hours when messages will be sent, so they are sent during the working hours of your leads if they are in another timezone). Also if we catch a warning from Linkedin we automatically stop all the activity from that account. Besides that, we have a document with recommendations for our users that they can use to avoid LinkedIn restrictions.

Do i need sales nav to use the lead finder?

No, you don’t.

Can I use desktop mode instead of the cloud?

Unfortunately, no. We don’t have a desktop application, we’re a cloud-based solution.

I would like to know how the warmup feature works? Can I change my linkedin profile whenever I want?

When the warm-up feature is turned on, Closely mimics human behavior and increases the number of connection requests/messages gradually, so it doesn’t look like automation. Yes, you can.

Will this violate LinkedIn policy? I’ve known some friends that had their account suspended with other software and want to be sure.

There are thousands of users that are safely using Closely. It is important to use a real account and not override the standard sending limits too much.

When is the pipedrive integration available?

We were planning to do it in May.
