Key takeaways
- SkedCast does not currently support tagging people or Pages when scheduling a LinkedIn post — there is no tag field in the composer for LinkedIn.
- LinkedIn’s own app supports tagging by typing @ followed by a name while composing a post directly.
- The practical workaround: schedule the post with SkedCast, then add tags manually on LinkedIn shortly after it publishes, or post that specific one manually when tagging matters.
Tag people in scheduled LinkedIn posts: where things stand today
SkedCast’s LinkedIn composer supports visibility, a first comment, polls, and file attachments (see the LinkedIn posting guide) — but not a person or Page tag field. This isn’t a partial implementation of tagging; the field simply isn’t there yet, and this page won’t pretend otherwise.
How to tag someone on LinkedIn manually
The native LinkedIn way to tag a person or Page:
- Open LinkedIn and start a new post (or edit a recently published one).
- Type @ followed by the person’s name or the Page name.
- Pick the matching profile or Page from the dropdown that appears — this turns it into a real, clickable tag.
- Finish writing and post — a tag added this way notifies the person or Page.
If a specific post needs tagging
For a post where tagging a person or Page matters, the most reliable option today is to post it manually on LinkedIn rather than schedule it through SkedCast, or to add the tags directly on LinkedIn right after a SkedCast-scheduled post goes live — the post is editable on LinkedIn’s own side once published.

FAQ
- Can I tag a person in a LinkedIn post I schedule with SkedCast?
- Not yet — SkedCast’s LinkedIn composer doesn’t have a tag field today. Add tags manually on LinkedIn either before scheduling isn’t possible, or right after the post publishes, using LinkedIn’s own @ mention while editing.
- Is there any way to tag a Company Page in a scheduled LinkedIn post?
- Not through SkedCast’s composer currently. Tagging a Page works the same @ mention way as tagging a person, directly on LinkedIn.
