How to Link and Auto-Post to LinkedIn

Auto-Posting to LinkedIn is available in our Multi-Channel Workspace on the web dashboard and mobile app.

Planoly Pro Tip: Make sure to link your LinkedIn to Planoly before you try scheduling an auto-post for LinkedIn. You will not be able to post to LinkedIn until it is linked to Planoly.
