LinkedIn scheduler

Schedule LinkedIn posts

Write a post once, tailor the LinkedIn version, then publish it right away or schedule it for later. Every post you send to LinkedIn gets its own LinkedIn version: 3,000 characters and up to 9 attachments per post, plus a first comment and inbox replies.

Every LinkedIn detail on this page is read from the same platform registry the composer and the publisher run on, so it describes what Postify does today.

Step by step

How to schedule LinkedIn posts with Postify

  1. Step 1

    Connect your LinkedIn account

    Open the Channels page in Postify, choose LinkedIn and complete its connection flow. The account then appears in the composer as a channel you can publish to.

  2. Step 2

    Write the post once

    Write it in the composer and select your LinkedIn channel, plus any other channels the same post should reach.

  3. Step 3

    Tailor the LinkedIn version

    LinkedIn gets its own variant of the post, counted against 3,000 characters with room for up to 9 attachments. LinkedIn-only settings such as Audience, Show link preview, Document (PDF carousel) and more sit in the same variant.

  4. Step 4

    Publish now or schedule it

    Publish right away, or pick a date and time. Scheduled posts sit on the content calendar, where you can move them to a new time, and Postify can suggest times to post.

  5. Step 5

    Check that it went out

    Postify records a delivery result for each channel a post goes to and shows it on the post, so you can see whether the LinkedIn post went out.
