Getting Started

Getting Started with Deskflow

This guide walks you through signing up, connecting LinkedIn, and taking your first steps in Deskflow.

1. Sign up

  • Go to Deskflow and sign up with email or Google.
  • Complete your profile (name, company, job title) so your messages and signature look right.

2. Connect LinkedIn

Deskflow needs a LinkedIn connection to send connection requests and messages and to sync your inbox.

Option A: Chrome extension (recommended)

  1. Install the Deskflow extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. In Chrome, open a tab with Deskflow (e.g. app.deskflow.io or your Deskflow URL) and log in.
  3. Open LinkedIn in another tab and make sure you’re logged in.
  4. Click the Deskflow extension icon → Capture Session (or “Connect”).
  5. Return to Deskflow and go to Integrations. LinkedIn should show as Connected.

Option B: OAuth (if offered)

If your team uses OAuth, use Integrations → Connect LinkedIn and follow the browser flow.

After connecting
