# LinkedIn

TryPost supports posting to LinkedIn personal profiles and company pages.

## Connect your account

### Personal profile

1. Go to **Accounts** in the TryPost dashboard
2. Click **Connect LinkedIn**
3. Authorize TryPost on LinkedIn — your profile is connected directly, no extra picker needed

### Company page

1. Go to **Accounts** and click **Connect LinkedIn Page**
2. Authorize TryPost on LinkedIn with organization admin scope
3. TryPost loads every Page you administer and redirects you to a dedicated **Select a LinkedIn Page** screen
4. Pick the Page you want to schedule for. Each Page connects as its own social account — repeat the flow to add more.

## Supported content types

| Type         | Description                                |

| **Post**     | Text with optional 1 image or 1 video      |
| **Carousel** | Swipeable image carousel — up to 20 images |

Both content types are available for personal profiles (`linkedin_post` / `linkedin_carousel`) and company pages (`linkedin_page_post` / `linkedin_page_carousel`).
