    Connect and manage sources

    Understand what LinkedIn, Reddit, Hacker News, and your website do in Privly.

    Updated August 21, 2026

    Open Sources

    Open Sources in your workspace to see what is connected, what is available, and whether an account needs attention.

    How each source works

    • LinkedIn: connect an account for lead discovery and direct outreach. Privly pauses affected work when the connection needs attention.
    • Reddit: public discovery does not require your Reddit login. Connect Reddit to send a reviewed reply or direct message from Privly.
    • Hacker News: relevant public discussions can appear as opportunities. Confirm the full context in the original thread before responding.
    • Website: your site helps build your business profile. It provides targeting context; it is not a live conversation source.

    Reconnect an account

    1. 1Open Sources and choose the account that needs attention.
    2. 2Select the reconnect action and complete the provider steps.
    3. 3Return to Sources and confirm the connection is healthy.
    4. 4Open the affected lead, message, or campaign and continue from the blocked step.
