Display content from a LinkedIn page
Social media posts help you keep your information screens up to date. The system automatically pulls in new content and keeps people up to date, while also advertising where people can follow you.
ℹ️ You can display content via PinToMind from LinkedIn pages where you are registered as an administrator. It is possible to display content from pages, but not from LinkedIn profiles, groups, etc. Regular LinkedIn posts that have been posted by the administrator of the page will be displayed. Video will not play on the screen, but will be displayed as an image.
❗️LinkedIn states that it can take up to 48 hours for posts to become available via their API. In our tests, it has been faster, but please note that the time it takes for the latest posts to appear may vary.
Give access to display content from LinkedIn
- Select "Library" in the menu on the left, then "Integrations".
- Select "LinkedIn".
Click "Connect" and log in with your LinkedIn account.
You must give the PinToMind app access to retrieve data from your account.
- If authentication is successful, you will see a list of the LinkedIn pages where you are registered as an administrator. Click "Add to library" on the resources you want to add, and click "Use in new post" if you want to create a new post.
- After you are authenticated, you can also create a new post by selecting the LinkedIn post in the list of new posts. You can then select a LinkedIn page from the library. If the resource is not in the library, you can go back to the integration and add it.
Limit the number of posts, text, and time period
Display QR code linking to the LinkedIn posts
You can choose whether you want to display a QR code in the post on the screen. The QR code will link directly to the post on LinkedIn.
