Adding Certification to LinkedIn Profile

InfusionX — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:16:09 GMT

I just passed the Inbound Certification course and want to add the badge to my LinkedIn profile. When I press the "Add to my profile" button to do so, LinkedIn asks for two pieces of information that I don't have: My License Number and the Certification URL. How/where can I access these?

Hey @InfusionX welcome to the Community and congratulations on your certification!

Could you confirm that you are following this workflow: Login to your portal > Click on Academy Hat > Select Training & Certifications > Select Certificate > Click 'Add to my Profile'

Could you provide a screenshot of the message you receive at this point?

Many thanks,

Roisin

Thanks Roisin. Yes, after I click on Add to my Profile it opens up LinkedIn. See screenshot attached..

Thanks for following up @InfusionX. A similar recase has been reported on this thread. It is something our engineers are currently looking into. I will update you as soon as we have a resolution.

Hey @hbnguyen, we are currently working with LinkedIn to come up with a viable solution to this. LinkedIn recently changed the way they display and code certifications. This means that we have to rebuild the process for adding certifications to LinkedIn.

We are not sure exactly how long this will take but either Ró or I will be sure to update the necessary threads when we have a solution for you!

Please copy me when a fix is available. I've encountered the same issue.

Hey @cschaub25, we will definitely update this thread and everyone involved when we do have a fix. Currently, the status is that LinkedIn no longer supports auto-fill via their certification endpoint/integration. We are looking into potential workarounds for this issue. Thanks to everyone for their patience!

Did you get an official statment from LinkedIn regarding the drop of that feature support? Please keep me posted!

Re: Adding Certification to LinkedIn Profile

Hey @firas @rouk73 @bnapper,

We did receive an official statement from LinkedIn only a few days ago regarding this. Here is a quick snippet of what they sent to us and other Add to Profile partners:

Dear LinkedIn Add To Profile partner,

We have recently started rolling out our new desktop redesign to LinkedIn members. As part of this, we will be changing our Add to Profile functionality, which will impact how third-party information is populated into fields on a LinkedIn member’s profile.

Going forward, developers who implement Add To Profile will be provided with a static URL to generate their button. Links will no longer be customized for a specific certificate or degree. After clicking “Add To Profile,” users will be directed to a profile form where they can fill out the details of their certificate or degree. Existing customized buttons will continue to work, but they will now direct to the new experience without auto-filling certificate or degree information.

You can find more information on our Add To Profile site and HelpCenter FAQs.

Thanks,
The LinkedIn Profile Team

I appreciate everyone's patience with this as we want to find a solution that will make it as easy as possible for all of our users to enjoy this functionality again. I will continue to keep everyone posted as soon as we have a solution.
