TryPost supports posting to LinkedIn personal profiles and company pages.

Connect your account

A single LinkedIn card covers both your personal profile and the company pages you administer — there is no separate “Connect LinkedIn Page” button.

Go to Accounts in the TryPost dashboard
Click Connect on LinkedIn
Authorize TryPost on LinkedIn
Pick what to connect on the Select a LinkedIn identity screen: your personal profile, or one of the Pages you administer

Each identity connects as its own social account.

You can connect your profile and as many Pages as you administer — each identity is its own account. Connecting another one means authorizing again, which is normal — LinkedIn keeps both tokens valid as long as TryPost asks for the same permissions each time. The same identity cannot sit twice. See multiple accounts.
