Using a LinkedIn Account

LinkedIn is a social networking site designed specifically for the business community. The site allows registered members to establish and document networks of people, professional groups, and companies they know and trust professionally.

To link your LinkedIn account to your ZiftONE account, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your Social Media Settings page.

2. If you have the Admin role in ZiftONE, select if you would like to add the account for Company (shared) or Personal (non-shared) access.

   

   About LinkedIn Metrics

   LinkedIn does not permit the tracking of posts, clicks, likes, comments, shares, and leads for Personal (non-shared access) LinkedIn accounts connected to ZiftONE. Only the metrics for Company (shared access) LinkedIn accounts will be captured.

3. Click Add Account.

   

4. From the Add Account drop-down list, choose LinkedIn.
5. Enter your LinkedIn credentials in the login window.

   If you don't see the login window, check that you do not have pop-ups blocked in your browser. If you do, allow pop-ups from ZiftONE to continue.

6. Click Allow.
7. Your account is connected and listed in the Link to Social Media Accounts area of the Social Media Settings page. You can go to the connected account by clicking the Go To icon .
8. If you have the Admin role, selected Company in Step 2, and the account you connected is associated with a company, you can have posts go to a specific page instead of your personal page. Click the linked page name next to your connected account to open the Select Company Page window, where you can choose the page to which to post.

Note

If you want to connect your personal LinkedIn profile/account to a Company Page that represents your organization, your profile/account must be granted Super admin access to the page.
