After you connect your LinkedIn account, a "Connected to LinkedIn" message displays on the Integrations page.

To share your newsletters to LinkedIn, you can create an automation that posts your newsletters to LinkedIn whenever you send them. To do this, create a new Automation, or just click the Automation banner below:

The simplest and most common use case is to create an automation that posts your newsletters to LinkedIn whenever you send them. Here's how:

1. Navigate to the Automations page and click New. The "New automation" panel opens.
2. (Optional) Give your automation a human-readable "Name."
3. Set the Trigger to when an email is sent.
4. Set the Action to Create a LinkedIn post.
5. (Optional) Configure any other fields to customize the automation. If you leave these fields blank, the automation will post to your LinkedIn account as soon as you send a new newsletter email.
6. Click Save changes.

To enable the new automation, either click Unpause in the automation panel, or click to enable the automation's toggle in the Automations page.
