Initial set up
When you add the web part to the page for the first time, you’ll need to perform these steps:
-
Log in to your company’s LinkedIn account as LinkedIn page administrator (this might be someone on your Comms team).
-
While on the company LinkedIn page (and logged in as company admin), you will be able to see Organization ID in the browser URL path like this:
-
Copy the ID
-
Back in your SharePoint, go to the LinkedIn feed web part properties and enter your LinkedIn Organization ID:
-
Click the LinkedIn Login button and when prompted, log in with the same LinkedIn admin credentials as in step 1. LinkedIn will now authorize the web part to read posts from the company page.
-
Save your SharePoint page on which you’ve placed the LinkedIn web part.
NOTE: The first time posts are loaded, the web part might take a few seconds.
Changing Colors & Styles
You can place the web part into any page section. If the section is small, you can decrease the Number of posts to show to make the web part look just right:
You can also hide/show Likes or company logo to make posts appear how you like:
Why are my brand new LinkedIn posts not showing?
The web part loads new LinkedIn posts once per day to comply with LinkedIn quotas and limits. When loaded for the first time in a given day, the posts will be stored in a hidden list right on your SharePoint site until the next refresh.
