Tagging People for LinkedIn Posts in HubSpot

VanessaLeida

I can tag people in HubSpot for LinkedIn posts if they follow our company page, etc. I start typing @ and their name and a drop-down menu appears with choices. Once I choose one it turns blue. Then when I hover over the name in blue it underlines it, but when I click on it nothing happens. I would like to be able to click it and go into LinkedIn to verify I have the right person. If the name is generic like Sarah Jones I just want to make sure I have the right Sarah Jones etc. Another idea would be to show their image in the drop-down list to help identify them.  Right now I just see the LI avatar etc.

I am trying to tag people in our social posts. However, their names are "greyed out."

  • Their profile is public.
  • They are following the company's LinkedIn page.

Suggestions? Thank you!

+1 for this. Would love to be able to tag people and companies in LinkedIn posts.

+1 It would be great for this to be added because otherwise the ability to tag seems somewhat redundant (who would want to use it if they're not sure who they're tagging?)

I completely agree. We do not use the social tab in Hubspot for this reason. 99% of our posts, we tag an individual and it does not let us do it through hubspot so we manually do it on LinkedIn and are looking at/paying for other platforms that allow this,

Another big vote for this one. I cannot even tag myself in LinkedIn on HubSpot, so either I edit in LInkedIn once it is posted, or just post in LinkedIn directly.

Yes, this would be great!
