If you want to connect LinkedIn pages to your platform, you need to follow a few simple steps. You can connect multiple LinkedIn pages, but each page requires its own connection.

You must be the Super Admin of the LinkedIn page to connect it to Haiilo. The connection will fail if you are not a Super Admin of the LinkedIn page.

You can read general information about importing content to the platform in the Importing content to Haiilo overview article.

Basics of LinkedIn content import

There are two important elements to note regarding LinkedIn content import:

The content is fetched from your LinkedIn posts' links

Haiilo imports the links from your social media posts, not the posts themselves. So, if you post something on LinkedIn without a link, like a video or image, it won't be imported.

Also, Haiilo doesn't import the LinkedIn post directly. Instead, it fetches the content from the link in your post. This means the title and body for the Haiilo post will be taken from the website that is linked in your LinkedIn post. Because of this, the content on Haiilo might look different from what's on your LinkedIn page.

Duplicate content is skipped

Haiilo only imports posts with a unique link, meaning a link that hasn't been used before. Duplicate links are skipped. 

If you use the same shortened links (e.g., bit.ly) in many LinkedIn posts, Haiilo will only fetch the first post, as the others will be treated as duplicates. All links in your LinkedIn posts have to be unique.

Connect a LinkedIn page

1. Go to Settings > Importing Content.
2. Select LinkedIn.
3. Next, you need to Authenticate with your LinkedIn credentials so our system can verify that you're an admin of the LinkedIn page you want to connect.
   • You'll be prompted to accept LinkedIn terms for third-party apps if you haven't already. Learn more in this article: Data & security information.
4. After authenticating, select Connect source.
5. Enter the URL of the page you want to connect. Use a "clean" URL that ends with your company name or ID, not one with extra characters at the end.
   • For example, you can use https://www.linkedin.com/company/company_name but not https://www.linkedin.com/company/company_name/admin or similar.
6. In Post to, select the channel(s) that you want the content be published to
7. Check Publish automatically if you want the content to be automatically published on your platform's post feed. Leave the box unchecked if you want it to be Proposed first so that an admin has to approve it.
8. Select Connect to connect your feed.

After connecting, new content is fetched after about 30 minutes. An imported post automatically gets the image, title, and post body from the links in the LinkedIn page's content. The post's other aspects, such as sharing messages, must be configured on the Haiilo platform.
