@mentions on linkedin in social publishing

SOLVE

Hi All

 

Linkedin now lets you @ mention a company employee when posting a company update from your profile.

 

Is it possible to do this within Hubspot when using the social media tool and scheduling a series of LinkedIn updates?

 

Thanks

Tom

Hi @thomas1,

 

Good news, HubSpot has introduced this feature for Marketing Hub Professional and Marketing Hub Enterprise customers:

 


[Live] Social Publishing: Linkedin Personal Profile Mentions

Nov 15, 2023
 

What is it?

Personal mentions: You can now mention Linkedin personal pages

 

Why does it matter?

Mentioning a connection or other members is a great way for marketers to increase post engagement and comments. This will draw attention from the member and also encourage traffic from your post to the members Linkedin profile.

 

How does it work?

To create a Linkedin social post:

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
  • In the upper right, click Create social post
  • In the left panel, click the Select accounts dropdown menu. Then, select the checkboxes next to the Linkedin accounts you want to post to.

To mention a personal profile:

  • Under the Create your posts section, in the text box, type @ and the name of the profile you want to mention
  • A dropdown will surface for Linkedin company and profile pages for you to mention.
  • Note: If you do not see the option to mention personal profiles within the social composer, you may need to refresh your Linkedin page connection in your settings.

To reconnect your Linkedin page:

  • In your HubSpot account, click on the settings icon. Within your settings, navigate to Marketing > Social
  • You will see a list of all social accounts connected
  • Navigate to "connect accounts", select Linkedin and confirm all the required Linkedin accounts are checked and click "connect".

Important Linkedin API Limitations

  • You can only mention Linkedin profiles if they follow your Page.
  • You can only mention followers if you are posting from a Company Page.
  • If a Linkedin user turns of their visibility, you will not be able to search their account.

Have a great day!
