LinkedIn Connection Workflow

LinkedIn is connected from Connect Platforms using an external authorization window. The application opens a LinkedIn authorization URL and waits for the authorization result to return to AIUNIFY Social Media.

Starting the Connection

1. Open Connect Platforms.
2. Locate LinkedIn.
3. Select Connect.
4. Allow the LinkedIn authorization window to open.
5. Sign in to LinkedIn if requested.
6. Review the access being requested.
7. Approve the connection for the eligible LinkedIn account or Page.

The Authorization Window

AIUNIFY Social Media uses a separate popup-style authorization window for LinkedIn. Keep the main AIUNIFY Social Media browser tab open while completing the LinkedIn authorization.

If your browser blocks popups, allow the LinkedIn authorization window for the AIUNIFY Social Media site and try the connection again.

Returning to AIUNIFY Social Media

After LinkedIn finishes authorization, the callback process returns the result to the application. When successful, refresh or revisit Studios and confirm that the LinkedIn connection appears.

LinkedIn Profiles and Pages

The source supports LinkedIn account types that can include a normal LinkedIn profile connection and LinkedIn Page-related handling. The options presented to you depend on the resources available to the LinkedIn account being authorized.

If the Connection Cannot Start

If the service reports that the LinkedIn connection configuration is unavailable, this is not something a normal user should configure. LinkedIn Client IDs and Client Secrets are provider-side integration settings. Contact the service administrator rather than attempting to modify them.

Connection Troubleshooting

If the authorization window closes before completion, the login is denied, or no account appears afterward, restart the connection from Connect Platforms and complete the full authorization sequence.
