Posting to…

You can mention…

a Company Page

  • other Company Pages

  • Personal Profiles that follow your Page

a Personal Profile

  • Company Pages only

šŸ’” Note: Mentioning other Personal profiles is not possible – LinkedIn's API doesn't allow third-party tools to do this, regardless of where you're posting.

  • Open LinkedIn, search for the page you'd like to mention, look at the URL in your browser, and copy the username.

  • When successful, the mention turns blue. šŸŽ‰
