## Connect LinkedIn

</Frame>

On [Accounts](https://postonce.to/dashboard/accounts), click **Connect LinkedIn**. PostOnce asks what you want to connect:

* **Personal profile**: can receive posts (destination only).
* **Company Pages**: can receive posts and be a workflow source. You need an admin or content admin role on the Page. Choose the Pages under **Select Company Pages**; each Page counts as one account on your plan.

Personal LinkedIn connections expire after a while. PostOnce emails you 7 days before so you can reconnect without missing posts.

## LinkedIn as a source

* Only Company Pages can be a source. A personal profile shows "Not available".
* PostOnce checks LinkedIn for new posts every 15 minutes.
* Reshares, polls, celebrations and document posts are skipped. Article posts are copied as the text plus the article link.

## Publishing to LinkedIn

| | Limit |
| - | - |
| Text | 3,000 characters |
| Images | Up to 20, 20 MB each |
| Video | 1 video, up to 30 minutes and 500 MB |

Images and video can't be mixed in one post. Posts are always public. Hashtags stay clickable; @mentions are posted as plain text because LinkedIn's API can't tag people from text.
