HubSpot should create the ability to @ mention companies and organizations when drafting a LinkedIn post in HubSpot. Being able to @ mention in LinkedIn posts would help our organization engage with clients and partners. Since you’re able to @ mention when posting from LinkedIn and you’re able to @ mention when posting a Twitter post from HubSpot, it seems like building the function would be possible. ---

LinkedIn is the main platform for connecting with B2B prospects for ourselves and clients. This @ mention feature would be brilliant, I’m in favour! ---

Add ability to @ tag companies and people in a LinkedIn social media post. You can do it natively on LinkedIn. Is there a limitation in their APIs that don’t allow Hubspot posting to do it? ---

Agreed! This feature is SO important and would help extend the reach of our LinkedIN posts, as many of our colleagues have large followings. Please implement! ---

This is an extremely important feature that every other social publishing tool has had for months now - can this be implemented? ---

You should be able to do this it should be a mandatory feature! Seems bonkers that this is social media tool - and you can’t be socialable and engage with your audience by mentioning them! ---

Please try and get to this ASAP! The change LinkedIn made is huge and the lack of this feature no renders the LI integration you already have a lot less valuable. - Dimi ---

Looks like we still can’t reference people’s names when using @… when posting to Linkedin. Yet its possible when using the Linkedin platform separately! Please please please can we have this functionality asap? For Hubspot to be a true outbound marketing platform we need to be able to connect with our customers in this way, thanks ---

Great that it is now possible to mention @companies, but not people’s names? I look forward to this. ---

This featue would be incredibly helpful. While it’s good to be able to mention companies, being able to @ mention individuals would really enhance our ability to interact with our LinkedIn community. ---

This is really important for us! We always mention individuals when posting on LinkedIn and it is a pain having to edit the post directly on LinkedIn. ---

@MdeRada does your reach go down if you manually edit your post in LinkedIn afterward? ---

[@Nico\_publico](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/61324) not necessarily but it is not very efficient having to edit a comment once it’s posted. Besides, when we schedule posts this is not an option if it’s out out of working hours. ---

I’d also like to be able to @mention individuals for twitter and facebook as well as LinkedIn. [Next page](https://community.hubspot.com/t/mentioning-when-creating-a-linkedin-post/2356.md?page=2)
