LinkedIn Groups aren’t supported
LinkedIn Groups aren’t accessible to third-party tools via LinkedIn’s API, so they can’t be connected to dlvr.it.
Connecting your LinkedIn account
For LinkedIn Pages: your personal LinkedIn profile must have Super Admin access for that Page. Make sure you’re logged into that account before starting the connection in dlvr.it.
For LinkedIn profiles: log into the profile you want to connect before starting — dlvr.it connects to whichever account is currently active in your browser.
Connecting multiple accounts. You can connect multiple LinkedIn Pages and profiles. If you manage several LinkedIn Pages across different dlvr.it accounts, have one Super Admin handle the connections for each — this helps avoid Pages unexpectedly disconnecting.
Page not showing up? Check that your personal LinkedIn profile has Super Admin access for the Page, and that you’re logged in as that profile before connecting.
Reconnecting. For help reconnecting an expired LinkedIn account, see Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it.
Automating posts is allowed
Publishing through dlvr.it doesn’t violate LinkedIn’s Terms of Service — automated posting is permitted for legitimate publishing activity.
Publishing to LinkedIn
dlvr.it automatically publishes new content to your LinkedIn Page or profile when items appear in your connected source. A few things worth knowing:
Character limit. Posts can be up to 3,000 characters. LinkedIn truncates longer posts in the feed with a “see more” link, so keep your most important content — including your link — within the first few lines.
Daily posting limit. dlvr.it can publish up to 50 posts per 24 hours to a single LinkedIn account.
Post attribution on Pages. When dlvr.it publishes to a LinkedIn Page, the post shows “Posted by [Name]” — the LinkedIn Admin who connected the Page. This is only visible to Page admins, not to your followers.
LinkedIn Groups. Groups can’t be connected to dlvr.it due to API restrictions.

Best practices for avoiding suspension
LinkedIn actively monitors for automated or duplicate content, particularly on personal profiles. Keep this in mind:
LinkedIn profiles are personal accounts. LinkedIn expects personal profiles to share authentic, individually created content. Using profiles for broad automated publishing goes against that expectation and increases suspension risk — LinkedIn Pages are a safer choice for high-volume automated publishing.
Vary your content. If you’re publishing to multiple LinkedIn accounts, small variations in caption or framing help.
FAQ
Can dlvr.it publish to LinkedIn Groups? No — LinkedIn’s API doesn’t provide third-party access to Groups.
What if my LinkedIn Page isn’t showing when I try to connect? Confirm that your personal LinkedIn profile has Super Admin access for the Page, and that you’re logged into LinkedIn as that profile before connecting in dlvr.it.
What if my LinkedIn connection stops working? Access tokens can expire after a password change or LinkedIn security update. See Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it for steps to restore the connection.
Can I use LinkedIn as a content source in dlvr.it? No — LinkedIn is currently supported as a publishing destination only. See Supported channels in dlvr.it for the full list of supported sources.
Are LinkedIn polls supported? Not at this time — polls need to be created directly in LinkedIn.
