Plan your content in advance and save time publishing by automatically scheduling LinkedIn posts through Later. 

LinkedIn Page Role Requirements

Due to API restrictions, you must be a super admin on a Page in order to connect it to Later. You must be at least a content admin to publish to the Page.

Curator and analyst roles will not be able to connect or publish to LinkedIn Pages through Later.

Super admins can add and edit admins, or you can request admin access to a LinkedIn Page.

Add Your LinkedIn Profile or Page

1. From Later for desktop, select the + button at the top of your Calendar to add a social profile
2. Select an empty LinkedIn profile slot and select Add Social Profile

3. Log in to your LinkedIn profile and grant Later access

   Note: If you’re already logged into LinkedIn, we’ll show you the profile and Pages of the account you’re logged into. If you’re logged into the wrong LinkedIn account, log out and start again.

4. Select the LinkedIn profile or Page you want to add to Later

   Note: If you don't see the LinkedIn Page you want to add, ensure you are logged into the right account and have the right permissions.
