# LinkedIn connector

> LinkedIn is personal only. You link your own account; an agent can confirm your identity, report your analytics, post as you, and post to company pages you approve.

A LinkedIn account is a person's, never a workspace's, so LinkedIn is
personal only: there is no workspace connection, and any member can link
their own account in any workspace.

## Linking

Link your own LinkedIn from the Integrations tab or from a link card an
agent offers in chat (see [How account linking flows work](https://bolter.chat/help/connectors/linking-flows)). The link stays private to you: only your own private
agents can be granted it, with your approval, in a one to one chat.

## What an agent can do with it

The surface is deliberately small, because LinkedIn's API only opens most
features to approved partners:

- Identity confirmation: read your own profile identity.
- Analytics: report your follower count, how your posts and videos are
  performing (impressions, reactions, comments, reshares), and the size of
  your connections network.
- Posting: publish text or article posts, always as you and only as you.
  Posting requires a grant that explicitly opts into it.
- Company pages: publish posts as a LinkedIn page you administer. The
  agent asks for specific pages, you approve each one, and every approval
  is checked against LinkedIn to confirm you administer that page. An
  agent can never post to a page you did not approve.

Reading your feed, messaging, comments, listing your past posts, seeing
who viewed your profile, company pages, and image posts are not available.
If an agent claims it can read your LinkedIn feed or show your profile
viewers, it is wrong.
