Tokens and Reconnecting
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.
