Why do accepted LinkedIn invitations show up late in Unipile?
The Unipile help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Unipile's notice of new connections is not real time, because LinkedIn does not offer real-time events for accepted invitations, as Unipile explains.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Unipile help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
Unipile's notice of new connections is not real time, because LinkedIn does not offer real-time events for accepted invitations, as Unipile explains.
In the Unipile help:
Please note that this webhook is not real-time, as LinkedIn does not support real-time events for this action.
Detecting Accepted Invitations, read 2026-11-12.Unipile checks the list of connections at random intervals to avoid looking suspicious, so new connections can be picked up at uneven times.
In the Unipile help:
We poll the relation list at random intervals to avoid any suspicious activity.
Detecting Accepted Invitations, read 2026-11-12.A new connection can be reported up to eight hours after it was accepted.

How do I check it myself?
Look up the person's profile to confirm whether they are now a connection.
In the Unipile help:
You can use Retrieve Profile to verify the relation level.
Detecting Accepted Invitations, read 2026-11-12.Check Unipile's list of sent invitations to see which invitations are still listed there.

How does Unipile work with Feder?
- Connect Unipile to Feder and it joins your Reach apps.
- When you connect Unipile, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Unipile, one of your Reach apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Unipile.
