If you have yet to make any connections with social media accounts, look no further than the LinkedIn icon in the wizard, which features the convenient ‘connect’ button. It offers a fast and simple way to set everything up.
On the other hand, if you already have an account connected (bravo!), click the “+ Socials” to initiate the setup process. After clicking the Connect Social button, there will be an option to add a LinkedIn Personal or Business Account.
Note: Remember that for a successful pair-up between Social Planner and your personal LinkedIn account, ensure that your LinkedIn account is recognized as a ‘super admin’ of the respective Page you chose.
