Connecting LinkedIn

LinkedIn connects with a single authorisation login. The thing to know first: posts go to your personal profile, never to a Company Page.

Before you start

Personal profile only

LinkedIn posts published from here appear on your own personal profile, under the account you authorised. Company Pages are not supported: LinkedIn grants that permission separately and requires business documentation.

The interface says so at the platform selection step. Finding out after connecting means a channel slot is already taken, and removing the channel keeps that slot held for 7 days.

Connection steps

1
Add account → LinkedIn
Channels → Add account → pick LinkedIn → Connect.
2
Sign in and approve
A LinkedIn window opens. Sign in with the account you want to publish from and approve the permissions requested. Do not deselect any of them.
3
Check the list
The channel appears under Accounts with your LinkedIn name and avatar.

Limits

Video up to 30 minutes. Any aspect ratio is accepted: 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16.
Caption up to 3,000 characters.
A cap of 10 posts a day per account. LinkedIn actually meters API calls rather than posts — 150 per account per day, on a UTC boundary. One video post costs roughly 6 calls, so a cap of 10 posts leaves room for retries when the network misbehaves.

The reset is UTC, not Vietnam midnight

LinkedIn quota resets at 00:00 UTC — 07:00 Vietnam time. If you published heavily in the evening and still see a quota error the next morning, wait until after 7am.
