The LinkedIn connector lets Glowtify publish posts on LinkedIn Company Pages (organizations) and retrieve engagement data.
Prerequisites
- Access to at least one LinkedIn Company Page as an admin, content admin, or super admin
- A personal LinkedIn account to authorize the connection
Personal profile posts are not supported — Glowtify publishes only to organization pages.
Connecting LinkedIn
- On the Connectors page, click Connect LinkedIn
- Log in with your LinkedIn personal account
- Authorize the permissions requested
- Glowtify pulls the list of organizations you admin
- Pick the organization(s) to enable
If you admin multiple organizations, you can enable several under a single connection.
Permissions requested
- Publish posts as the selected organization
- Read social actions (likes, comments, reposts) for insights
How publication works (soft scheduling)
LinkedIn uses soft scheduling. Glowtify stores content and publishes via LinkedIn's API at the scheduled time.
Destination: linkedin.
Format specifics
- Caption up to 3 000 characters
- Images support JPG, PNG
- Videos support MP4, up to ~15 minutes and ~5 GB (LinkedIn's own limits)
- Article format for long-form content (separate endpoint; Glowtify's blog editor handles this)
Token expiration
LinkedIn tokens last ~60 days by default. Reconnect from the LinkedIn connector card when Glowtify flags expiration.
Common issues
"Publication failed — not authorized for this organization"
Your LinkedIn admin rights on the org have been revoked, or the org has restricted third-party posting. Check your role on LinkedIn and re-authorize if needed.
"Caption too long"
LinkedIn enforces 3 000 characters hard. Shorten, or consider the long-form article format.
"Media format not supported"
LinkedIn rejects certain file types. Convert to a supported format (JPG, PNG, MP4) before retrying.
Disconnecting
From the LinkedIn connector card → menu → Disconnect. Same behavior as other connectors: past posts stay, future scheduled ones stop.
