Overview

Like connectUnipileAccount, but keyed to an existing row in unipile_accounts. Use this when:
  • An account has drifted into disconnected or credentials_required
  • The user has upgraded their LinkedIn plan (Premium, Sales Navigator, Recruiter) and we need to re-fetch the premium feature flags
Unlike a fresh connect, reconnect preserves the Unipile account_id — so historical prospects, conversations, and sent messages stay linked across the re-auth. The returned url expires 1 hour after issuance.

​
AI agent notes

Cannot be completed autonomously. The url must be opened in a human-operated browser. Surface it to the user and poll GET /api/unipile/accounts until the row’s status flips back to connected.When to prefer this over connectUnipileAccount:
  • There is already a row for this LinkedIn identity (even if currently disconnected) — reconnect keeps the account_id, history, and any attached sender-account links on draft campaigns.
  • connect creates a brand-new row and would leave the old one orphaned.
Plan-upgrade flow. If the user just added Sales Navigator and you only need to refresh the premium flags (not re-auth cookies), try refreshUnipileAccount first — it’s cheaper and doesn’t need the browser. Only fall back to reconnect if the flags still look wrong after a refresh.Chains with: searchUnipile (now eligible for the sales_navigator API), any LinkedIn campaign launch.
