Add website - LinkedIn

To add a LinkedIn platform posting profile to AIKTP, go to the AIKTP -> Website menu or quickly click the link https://aiktp.com/websites

Then click the "Add Website" button, in the popup that appears choose the LinkedIn platform

Then click "Next" to proceed with adding LinkedIn

Note: LinkedIn only allows posting from an application to a Page. You cannot post to a personal profile. Therefore you need to create two things: an App and a Page.

  • A LinkedIn App is similar to a Facebook App.

  • A LinkedIn Page is like a Facebook Fanpage

Guide to creating a LinkedIn App

To create a LinkedIn App, go to https://developer.linkedin.com/ and click Create App

Fill in the App information

If you don't have a LinkedIn Page yet, you need to create one. If you already have a LinkedIn Page you only need to provide the page URL

After creating the app, you need to request the Share on LinkedIn permission by clicking the Request Access button

Requesting the Share on LinkedIn permission allows you to post to a LinkedIn page.

After completing the permission request, click the Auth tab and the pencil icon

In the "Authorized redirect URLs for your app" field enter the following 2 links:

// the following 2 links
https://aiktp.com/callback/linkedin.php
https://www.linkedin.com/developers/tools/oauth/redirect

The result after adding will look like this:

Next you need to create a Token by clicking the link OAuth 2.0 Tools

On the next screen, click the Create Token

Next, select the Select Scopes: w_member_social option and click Request Token

Next, LinkedIn will ask you to log in and confirm

Click the Allow button to confirm

After confirming, you will receive a token; copy this token to paste back into aiktp.com

Return to the AIKTP screen (https://aiktp.com/websites) and paste the token into the Access Token field.

In addition to the access token, you need to add the LinkedIn Company URL which is the Company URL you used when creating the app

Then click the Verify button to check and confirm posting permissions.

According to LinkedIn's rules, the Access Token will expire after 60 days, so after 60 days you need to create a new Access Token.

You only need to recreate the Access Token, you do not need to recreate the App.
