Session Persistence & Refresh

We-Link ensures that once you connect a LinkedIn account, it stays connected. Our Session Persistence engine runs silently in the background, automatically detecting and refreshing sessions before they expire.

How It Works​

Instead of requiring users to manually log in every few days, our system:

  1. Monitors session health continuously
  2. Detects when a session is nearing expiration or has been invalidated
  3. Refreshes the connection automatically using the stored 2FA secret
  4. Resumes any pending tasks without interruption

Automatic 2FA Resolution​

The key to "always-on" capability is our integration with authenticator apps:

  • When a user provides the Secret Key from their authenticator app during initial connection, We-Link stores it securely
  • When LinkedIn challenges the login, our engine generates the required 6-digit code internally
  • Re-authentication happens in milliseconds — completely transparent
Why this matters

SMS-based 2FA requires human intervention to type in codes. This is the #1 cause of automation failure. Using authenticator app integration eliminates this bottleneck entirely. See the 2FA Setup Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Internal Captcha Resolution​

In addition to 2FA challenges, LinkedIn may present CAPTCHA challenges during login or session refresh. We-Link handles these automatically:

  • Our engine detects CAPTCHA prompts during authentication and session refresh flows
  • Captchas are resolved internally using our built-in resolution service — no third-party tools or manual intervention required
  • The entire process is seamless and adds only a minimal delay to the re-authentication flow

Combined with automatic 2FA resolution, internal captcha handling ensures that session refresh is fully autonomous — no human action is ever needed to keep your LinkedIn account connected.

Concurrent Session Management​

LinkedIn (particularly Recruiter subscriptions) often limits active sessions:

  • If a user logs in on a new device, LinkedIn may terminate the We-Link session
  • Our system detects this gracefully and queues pending tasks
  • We wait for an appropriate window to re-establish the connection

This ensures:

  • ✅ Your user's manual LinkedIn access is never disrupted
  • ✅ Automation resumes automatically when possible
  • ✅ No duplicate or conflicting sessions
