# LinkedIn and social media

> Connect LinkedIn to Minibuddies. Let Luma and other agents draft posts, analyze engagement, and manage your professional social presence.

## What you can do with LinkedIn

Connecting **LinkedIn** enables Minibuddies agents - especially **Luma**, the Social Media Manager - to:

* **Draft posts**  - Create captions, carousels, and hashtags tailored to your brand and audience
* **Analyze content**  - Review engagement, identify trends, and suggest improvements
* **Schedule and plan**  - Help plan content calendars and optimal posting times
* **Maintain brand voice**  - Use your Memory and past content to match your tone and style

Agents use your connected accounts only when you ask. They don't post automatically without your approval. Drafts are presented for your review before publishing.

## Connecting LinkedIn

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    From the dashboard, click **Integrations** in the sidebar. Find **LinkedIn** in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    Click **Connect** or **Authorize** next to LinkedIn. You'll be redirected to LinkedIn's sign-in and permission screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to LinkedIn">
    Sign in with the LinkedIn account you use for your profile or company page. Use the account that has the content and audience you want to manage.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and approve permissions">
    LinkedIn will show the permissions Minibuddies is requesting. These typically include read and write access to your profile, posts, and possibly page management. Review and click **Allow** or **Accept**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to Minibuddies">
    After approval, you're redirected back. LinkedIn should show as **Connected**. Luma and other agents can now use your LinkedIn when you ask them to.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  If you manage a LinkedIn Company Page, connect the account that has admin access. Some features may require additional page-level permissions.
</Tip>

## Example prompts for LinkedIn

**Draft a LinkedIn post:**

> "Draft a LinkedIn post about our new product launch. Professional tone, 150–200 words. Include a call-to-action."

**Content ideas:**

> "Suggest five LinkedIn post ideas for a B2B SaaS company focused on productivity. Include hook and outline for each."

**Carousel outline:**

> "Create a 5-slide LinkedIn carousel outline about the benefits of remote work. Include title, bullet points for each slide, and a CTA for the last slide."

**Hashtag research:**

> "Suggest 10 relevant hashtags for a post about AI in healthcare. Mix popular and niche."

**Analyze performance:**

> "Look at my recent LinkedIn posts. Which performed best and why? Give me three recommendations."

**Brand voice:**

> "Using my brand guidelines in Memory, draft a LinkedIn post for \[topic]. Keep it under 150 words."

## Best practices

* **Add brand context**  - Use Memory to store your brand voice, key messages, and tone. Agents will use this when drafting.
* **Review before posting**  - Always review agent-generated content. Edit for accuracy, tone, and compliance before publishing.
* **One account per integration**  - Each integration typically connects one account. For multiple profiles, you may need to switch or use separate setups.
* **Platform rules**  - Follow LinkedIn's terms of service and content policies. Agents help you create content; you're responsible for what you publish.

## Disconnecting

To disconnect LinkedIn:

1. Go to **Integrations** in the dashboard.
2. Find LinkedIn.
3. Click **Disconnect** or **Remove**.
4. Confirm the action.

Minibuddies will no longer access your LinkedIn account. Your LinkedIn profile is unchanged. You can reconnect at any time. You can also revoke access from LinkedIn settings if you prefer.

## Troubleshooting

### LinkedIn connection failed

* Ensure pop-ups aren't blocked.
* Try a different browser or incognito mode.
* Verify you're signing in with the correct LinkedIn account.
* LinkedIn may restrict some third-party apps. Check your account's app permissions.

### Agent can't post

* Verify you granted write/publish permissions during setup.
* Reconnect the integration to refresh the token.
* Some features (e.g., auto-posting) may require additional setup or may not be available. Check the current feature set.

### Drafts don't match my voice

* Add brand guidelines, sample posts, or tone notes to Memory. Reference them in your prompt: "Use my brand voice from Memory."
* Provide examples in the prompt: "Write in a similar style to \[paste example]."
* Iterate: ask the agent to revise with specific feedback.
