External LinkedIn Integration

[MMercier]

Hi everyone,

To track a LinkedIn account on Hubspot, you need to log with LinkedIn SSO directly through your Hubspot account.

Is there a way to use Hubspot API/tools to allow someone, who has not access to our Hubspot account, to link his LinkedIn profile on our Hubspot account ?

Thanks in advance. 

Mathieu.

Hi @MMercier ,

Unfortunately there is currently no API or external tools that would allow someone who doesn't have access to your HubSpot account to be connect their LinkedIn profile directly as HubSpot and LinkedIn requires direct authentication from authorized account.

The best way to do this is to invite the person as a user and connect their profile themselves.

If this helps, feel free to mark it as the solution ✔️ and give it an upvote 👍 !

Hi @MMercier 

As of now, no such API is available. For a workaround, you can store the linkedIn profile in a custom contact property, and then you can easily filter the contacts that have LinkedIn associated and those who don't.

I hope this will help you out. Please mark it as Solution Accepted and upvote to help another Community member.

Thanks!

Hi @MMercier and welcome, it's a pleasure to have you here!

Great question, thanks for asking the HubSpot Community!

Also, I think this might be of interest, did you know about the "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" integration?

And thanks a lot @Jigar_Thakker and @GRajput for your help!

Have a lovely day!
