Connecting LinkedIn
Link your LinkedIn account to SocialWhisper with a secure OAuth flow.
How OAuth works
OAuth is an industry-standard authorization protocol. When you connect LinkedIn, you are redirected to LinkedIn's own login page where you grant SocialWhisper permission to post on your behalf. SocialWhisper receives an access token but never sees your password. This is the same method used by all major LinkedIn tools.
Step-by-step connection
Go to Settings → Social Accounts
Open your project and navigate to the Social Accounts tab in Settings.
Click Link Account
Select LinkedIn and choose whether to connect your personal profile or a company page.
Authorize on LinkedIn
You will be redirected to LinkedIn's authorization page. Log in and grant permission.
Connection confirmed
You will be redirected back to SocialWhisper with the account connected and ready to use.
Troubleshooting connections
If the connection fails, make sure you are logged into the correct LinkedIn account. If you continue to have issues, try clearing your browser cookies for LinkedIn and attempting the connection again.
