What you need before you start

A LinkedIn account you can sign in to. UniPostudio posts on your personal profile, as you.
For company Pages, if your workspace offers them: the Super admin or Content admin role on the Page in LinkedIn.
The owner or admin role in the UniPostudio brand you are connecting, and a free channel slot on your plan.

Connect step by step

Step 1:
Open Channels in UniPostudio.
Choose Channels in the sidebar, or go straight to app.unipostudio.com/channels. Check that you are in the right brand.
Step 2:
On the LinkedIn card, select Connect.
A pop-up opens on linkedin.com. If your browser blocks pop-ups, the app says so and opens the same page in this tab.
Step 3:
Sign in to LinkedIn.
LinkedIn connects whichever account is signed in on linkedin.com in this browser.
Step 4:
Select Allow.
LinkedIn lists what UniPostudio may do (explained below). If your workspace offers company Pages, the list also covers the Pages you administer.
Step 5:
Let the pop-up close.
The card says Connected · healthy and shows your name.

IllustrationSelect Connect on the LinkedIn card; LinkedIn’s sign-in opens in a pop-up on linkedin.com.

Once it is connected

LinkedIn appears in the composer’s channel list. LinkedIn lets only a small group of approved partners read comments and statistics on personal profiles, so posts to your profile are published and tracked in UniPostudio’s calendar, but their comments stay on LinkedIn.

What we ask permission for, and why

LinkedIn shows these on its own screen. Each one is there for a feature; we do not ask for anything else.

Your profile

openid: Sign you in with LinkedIn and identify which account was connected.
profile: Your name and photo, for the channel card and the composer’s preview.
w_member_social: Create posts on your profile, as you, when you publish or schedule them.

Company Pages (where your workspace offers them)

LinkedIn adds access to the Pages you administer, such as:

w_organization_social: Publish posts as the Page.
r_organization_social: Read the Page’s posts and their comments, for the feed and the inbox.

If something goes wrong

“You declined the LinkedIn permissions.”

You chose Cancel on LinkedIn’s screen, or closed it. Select Connect again and choose Allow.

The card says a permission is missing

Select Reconnect on the card and choose Allow on LinkedIn’s screen.

Your company Page is not offered

Company Pages are offered only where your workspace has them. Where it does, you need the Super admin or Content admin role on the Page in LinkedIn; ask a Page admin to give it to you, then select Reconnect.

The wrong LinkedIn account was connected

Open the card’s ⋯ menu and choose Disconnect. Sign out of linkedin.com (or sign in as the right person) in this browser, then select Connect again.

The card says “Expired · scheduled posts are paused”

LinkedIn ended the sign-in: after a password change, when UniPostudio was removed in LinkedIn’s settings, or when LinkedIn’s sign-in period ran out. Select Reconnect on the card.

LinkedIn refused a post

LinkedIn refuses a post that repeats a recent one word for word, and limits how many posts an app can make for one member each day. Change the wording, or publish it later.

“The connection took too long and expired” or “This connection was started in another browser”

Start again from the card, and finish within 10 minutes in the browser you started in. If your browser blocks cookies for app.unipostudio.com, allow them.

The card says Coming soon, or Connect is greyed out

Coming soon means LinkedIn is not open for your account yet (see the badge at the top of this page). A greyed-out button, with “Only owners and admins can connect, change or disconnect channels.” at the top of the screen, means your role cannot connect channels: ask an owner or admin of the brand.

What we never do

We never ask for, see or keep your password. You sign in on the platform’s own page (or paste a token the platform issued you), and the platform gives UniPostudio a token, not your password.
Every token is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is stored, and is never written to our logs.
We ask only for the permissions the features need, and use each one only for what this page says.
We never post or reply unless you or a teammate does, or an automation you turned on (scheduled posts, automatic AI replies) does.
Disconnecting deletes the stored token and what we synced from the account: its messages, comments, feed and analytics.

Disconnect or reconnect

Open the ⋯ menu on the LinkedIn card (More actions for LinkedIn), choose Disconnect and confirm. UniPostudio deletes the stored token and what it synced from the account. Scheduled posts to it are not published until you connect it again.

LinkedIn has no way for an app to hand its access back, so to end it on LinkedIn as well, remove UniPostudio in LinkedIn under Settings & Privacy → Data privacy → Permitted services. To reconnect, select Connect on the card again.

Still stuck?

Write to us with the channel’s name and the exact words on the card or in the error message: that is usually enough for us to tell what happened. Never send us a password or a token.
