Connect your LinkedIn member profile and the company pages you administer, then publish text, images, or a video — with full analytics on page posts.
Connecting LinkedIn authorizes Inklate once and surfaces two kinds of destination: your personal member profile and every company page you administer. Each one you pick becomes its own channel that can publish text posts, up to nine images, or a single video, and organization pages report full post analytics back to Inklate.
Connecting LinkedIn
LinkedIn uses standard three-legged OAuth. Click Connect on the LinkedIn card and your browser leaves for LinkedIn’s own consent screen, where you approve the permissions and return — you never enter your LinkedIn password into Inklate. Inklate then shows a destination picker:
- Your member profile is always offered.
- Company pages you administer appear when your authorization includes LinkedIn’s Community Management permissions. If the grant lacks them, only your profile is offered — that is expected, not an error.
Check the profiles and pages you want and each becomes a channel. LinkedIn access tokens last 60 days; refresh tokens (available to Community Management partners) last a year. When a token can’t be refreshed, the channel asks you to reconnect.
What you can publish
LinkedIn supports the single post format. A post carries commentary text plus at most one kind of media — images or a video, never both in the same post.
| Element | Limit |
|---|---|
| Post text | Up to 3,000 characters |
| Images | Up to 9 per post, PNG or JPEG, 10 MB each |
| Video | One MP4 per post, up to 30 minutes and 500 MB |
In prose: a LinkedIn post allows up to 3,000 characters of commentary, up to nine PNG or JPEG images at 10 MB each, or one MP4 video up to 30 minutes and 500 MB. Because a post is images or a video, mixing the two is rejected before publish. Video is uploaded through LinkedIn’s Videos API, which processes the clip server-side before the post goes live, so a video post can take a little longer to publish than a text or image one.
LinkedIn has no native rich-text formatting. Inklate renders bold and italic using Unicode glyphs, keeps links inline, turns a heading into a bold line, and renders lists as bullet-prefixed lines — so your formatting survives the trip even though LinkedIn stores plain text.
Analytics
LinkedIn reports analytics differently depending on the channel kind. Company pages return the full set — impressions, reactions, comments, shares, and clicks. Member profiles expose only reactions and comments through LinkedIn’s API; impressions, shares, and clicks have no member-post endpoint and come back unmeasured rather than as a misleading zero. This is a LinkedIn API limitation, not an Inklate one.
Channels
A channel is one place you publish — a LinkedIn profile or page, an X account, an Instagram account, or a Facebook page. Connect one with OAuth in seconds.
X (Twitter)
Connect your X account with secure PKCE OAuth, then publish single posts or multi-post threads with up to four images or one video per tweet.
