What is LinkedIn Integration​

LinkedIn integration in Stack allows you to link your personal profiles or business pages to the Social Planner. This connection enables you to effortlessly schedule, publish, and manage your LinkedIn posts directly from the Stack dashboard, enhancing your social engagement and boosting content visibility.

Key Benefits of Connecting LinkedIn to Stack​

By connecting your LinkedIn account to Stack, you unlock several powerful features to enhance your social media strategy:

  • Schedule and publish posts: Directly post to LinkedIn profiles or pages.
  • Centralized management: Handle multiple accounts across various social platforms in one place.
  • Monitor connection status: Keep track of connection status and token validity to ensure continuous operation.
  • Easy reconnection: Quickly reconnect or refresh access if permissions expire.
  • Collaborative control: Manage user access and permissions for team collaboration.

Configuring the LinkedIn Integration​

Before setting up LinkedIn, ensure you have admin access to the LinkedIn Page you wish to connect. Note that the integration token remains valid for approximately 60 days. After this period, you'll receive a "Reconnect" prompt to renew access. If permissions are missing, the account will show a "Permissions Missing" status—simply follow the setup steps again to reauthorize successfully.

  1. Navigate to the Social Planner
    From the left sidebar, go to Marketing > Social Planner. This is your hub for managing scheduled content across all connected social platforms.

  2. Open Social Planner Settings
    Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner to access Social Planner settings.

  3. Click "Connect Social"
    In the Social Accounts tab, click the + Connect Social button to start linking your LinkedIn account.

  4. Select LinkedIn
    A popup will display available platforms. Click Connect LinkedIn.

  5. Log In to LinkedIn
    You’ll be redirected to the LinkedIn login screen. Enter your LinkedIn credentials and click Sign In.

  6. Grant Permissions
    LinkedIn will prompt you to authorize account access through LeadConnector. Click Allow to proceed.

  7. Choose LinkedIn Profile or Page
    After granting access, select the LinkedIn profile or business page you want to connect and click Add.

  8. Connection Confirmation
    Once added, the account will appear as Connected in the Social Accounts section, along with type and token validity.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Q: Can I connect both a LinkedIn profile and a business page at the same time?
Yes, Stack allows you to connect multiple LinkedIn accounts—both personal profiles and business pages—based on your access and permissions.

Q: What happens if my LinkedIn connection expires?
If the token expires, you will see a "Reconnect" prompt in the Social Accounts tab. Simply click it and reauthorize via LinkedIn.

Q: Why does it say “Permissions Missing” for my page?
This usually indicates that your LinkedIn account does not have admin rights on the page or certain permissions were not granted during authorization. Reconnect and ensure full access is provided.

Q: Can I schedule LinkedIn posts for both personal and company pages?
Yes, once both are connected, you can choose where to publish each post during the content creation process.

Q: Is there a limit to how many LinkedIn accounts I can connect?
While Stack does not impose a fixed limit, the number of accounts you manage should align with your subscription tier and access permissions.
