How do I connect my LinkedIn profile?
You can connect your personal LinkedIn profile on every plan. It takes about a minute, and you sign in on LinkedIn's own page.
Before you start: On the Team plan, you need to be an Owner, Admin, or Manager. Members can see connected accounts but can't change them.
- Open Connect Socials.
- Choose LinkedIn, then Personal profile.
- Sign in on LinkedIn and approve access.
- You're sent back to SocialPost, and your profile shows as connected.
Why LinkedIn asks for permission: LinkedIn only lets tools post for you after you approve access on its site. SocialPost never sees your LinkedIn password.
If it doesn't work: Sign out of LinkedIn in the same browser, then try again. If you have two LinkedIn accounts, make sure you're signed in to the right one first.
