Setting Up LinkedIn Integration

Connect your LinkedIn profile to publish professional posts directly from your Pro Forma Copy dashboard.

Linking LinkedIn lets Pro Forma Copy post social content to your personal profile. OAuth is handled on LinkedIn's site — you do not type a password into Pro Forma Copy.

Step 1: Go to Settings and open Integrations

From your dashboard, open Settings in the left navigation, then choose Integrations. You'll see a grid of available platforms, including LinkedIn.

Step 2: Click Connect LinkedIn

Use Connect LinkedIn on the card. Your browser opens LinkedIn's permission screen, so there's nothing to copy and paste on our side.

Step 3: Authorize Pro Forma Copy on LinkedIn

On LinkedIn, review the requested permissions and choose Allow. Pro Forma Copy requests posting permission only, not access to messages or connections.

Step 4: Confirm the connection

After approval, LinkedIn redirects you back to Integrations. A green "Connected" badge appears on the LinkedIn card, along with your profile name and remaining session days.

💡 Session expiry

LinkedIn access tokens last roughly 60 days. As expiry gets close, the card shows an amber warning. If it expires, you'll see a red indicator and a refresh button so you can reconnect without losing settings.

Publishing a post

Once connected, open a social post from My Library, choose Publish, and select LinkedIn when prompted (flows can vary slightly by content type).
