Connect your LinkedIn account to a social media scheduler (and fix connection problems)

Connect your LinkedIn account to SkedCast, a social media scheduler, in a few steps. SkedCast can publish to your personal LinkedIn profile or to any Company Page you administer. Both use the same OAuth connection; a Company Page additionally requires that you be a listed administrator of it.

Before you connect

  • For a personal profile: just your own LinkedIn login.
  • For a Company Page: you must be a listed administrator of that Page — a follower or regular member cannot authorize publishing to it.

How to connect LinkedIn

  1. 1In SkedCast, go to Settings → Connections and click Connect LinkedIn.
  2. 2Sign in to LinkedIn and approve the requested permissions — see the exact scopes on the LinkedIn integration page.
  3. 3If you administer one or more Company Pages, pick which one (or your personal profile) to connect.
  4. 4SkedCast confirms the connection and shows the profile or Page name.

Common connection problems

Posts that worked for weeks suddenly start failing.
LinkedIn access tokens expire after 60 days. This is expected and not tied to anything you did — reconnect from Connections to refresh it.
Your Company Page doesn’t show up in the picker.
Only Pages where you’re a listed administrator appear. Ask a current admin to add you as an administrator on the Page, or connect a Page you already administer.
Your personal profile connects fine, but Company Page posts fail.
Personal-profile and Company-Page publishing rely on different permissions within the same connection. Reconnect and make sure you approve the organization/Page access screen, not just the personal-profile one.

FAQ

How often do I need to reconnect LinkedIn?
LinkedIn access tokens expire after 60 days by design, so you should expect to reconnect roughly every two months if SkedCast doesn’t prompt you sooner.
Can I connect a Company Page without being its admin?
No. LinkedIn only lets a listed Page administrator authorize a third-party app to publish to that Page.
