Connecting LinkedIn Accounts to SharpSpring

If you are connecting a LinkedIn company page or group, then the username and password associated to that account must have access to that page.

To access social media settings in SharpSpring and connect LinkedIn, do the following:

1. In SharpSpring's top toolbar, click
     User Settings > Settings.
2. In the left panel, under Features, click Social Media.
3. In the pop-up window that appears, click Add Connection.
4. Click the    LinkedIn icon.
5. If prompted, log in to LinkedIn.
6. In the pop-up window that appears, click Allow.
7. In SharpSpring, choose which accounts to connect.
8. Click Done.

1. Log into LinkedIn.
2. In the top-right corner of LinkedIn, click your profile picture.
3. In the menu that appears, select
   Settings & Privacy. 
4. Click Partners and Services.
5. Select Permitted Services.
6. Click Change.
7. Remove SharpSpring.

1. In the top-right corner of SharpSpring, click  
     User Settings > Settings.
2. In the menu on the left side of the application, under Features, click Social Media.
3. Hover over the social media account that is to be deleted. 
4. Click the    Delete icon to the right of the account.
5. Repeat as necessary.

LinkedIn connections are based on tokens. Those tokens expire after 60 days. When they do, you will need to reconnect your account. 

As a preventative measure, email will go out 7 days before the connection is going to expire. The connections in the Social Media Settings page will also display About to Expire.

Scheduling posts more than 60 days in advance runs the risk that your connection will expire before those posts can be published. SharpSpring recommends only scheduling 60 days out to ensure that all posts you schedule are published.
