Connecting your LinkedIn account allows Blaze to create and autopost LinkedIn content on your behalf.
In this article, we will cover how to connect a personal LinkedIn profile or company pages to Blaze for automatic posting.
Only Blaze workspace admins have the ability to connect accounts to Blaze.
Access Integrations
Click Integrations located in the sidebar.
Locate the LinkedIn integration and click it to start the connection process.
Confirm changes to Content Plan
Blaze will prompt you with a message on how it will modify your content plan to create content for LinkedIn. Review the text, then click Add Integration to proceed.
Personal Accounts or Company Pages
LinkedIn is only able to provide Analytics to Blaze if its connected to a Company page. Content can still be generated and posted for both style accounts.
Click Go to Connect LinkedIn to begin the connection process.
You will be prompted to enter your LinkedIn login information.
If you have two-factor authentication set up, you will be prompted to enter your code.
Next, you will be prompted to allow Blaze to use information and take actions on LinkedIn on your behalf.
Confirm Connection in Blaze
Now you will be asked to select your LinkedIn account on Blaze. Note that the pictured example below shows both a personal and business page.
Make your selection and then click Connect 1 Account.
Blaze returns a message letting you know that all LinkedIn content will automatically post live on your newly connected LinkedIn account. Click Confirm to dismiss this message.
You should be taken back the integration page. LinkedIn should be now located in the "In your Content Plan" section with a green icon next to it. This indicates that its connected correctly.
Checking your Content Plan
Select Content Plan from the side bar. Then click Adjust Defaults then Channels. Scroll down to the LinkedIn platform. Enable it if not enabled. Click Save as Default to confirm your changes.
Social Media Posts and Cross Posting
As long as LinkedIn posts are listed in your Content Plan, they will automatically get created and scheduled out on your content calendar.
Additionally Instagram, Facebook, X and other social media posts can also be cross posted to LinkedIn by simply enabling the switch in the post preview window.
