Don’t we all love it when content sharing doesn’t have to be last-minute?

Paperflite’s LinkedIn integration makes employee advocacy effortless - share content directly to LinkedIn, schedule posts in advance, and track engagement analytics, all from one place.

In this article, you'll learn about:

  • Integrating Paperflite with LinkedIn

  • Sharing content instantly on LinkedIn

  • Scheduling LinkedIn posts in advance

  • Tracking LinkedIn post analytics


Integrating with LinkedIn

Let’s get you connected first.

Step 1:

Log in to your Paperflite account.

Step 2:

Navigate to Settings > Dashboard > Manage Tech Stack. Locate LinkedIn and toggle it on.

Step 3:

Then head to Settings > Integrations, locate LinkedIn, and click Activate.

Step 4:

Enter your LinkedIn credentials and sign in. Paperflite will request certain permissions—these are required to track analytics such as reactions and comments on your posts.

Step 5:

Click Allow to grant the permissions and complete the integration.


Sharing content on LinkedIn

Once LinkedIn is integrated, sharing content is just a few clicks away.

Step 1:

Navigate to the content you’d like to share.

Step 2:

Click the 'Social Share' option and select LinkedIn.

Step 3:

Enter a caption for your post. Want to make it stand out? You can also customize the tone and thumbnail.

Step 4:

Click 'Share Now' to publish the post instantly on LinkedIn.


Scheduling LinkedIn posts

Planning your advocacy posts ahead of time? We’ve got you covered.

LinkedIn Post Scheduling lets you schedule posts in advance from Employee Advocacy and have them published automatically at a specific date and time.

Using LinkedIn Post Scheduling

Step 1:

Navigate to the content you want to share and click 'Social Share' > 'LinkedIn'.

Step 2:

Instead of sharing immediately, choose the Schedule Post option.

Step 3:

Select:

  • A date

  • A time

Timezone defaults to your current timezone.

Step 4:

Click Schedule.

That’s it! Your post is now added to the scheduled queue.


Managing scheduled posts

All your scheduled LinkedIn posts are easy to track and manage from one place.

You can:

  • View all scheduled posts in a single list

  • See the scheduled date & time

  • Check the status:

    • Scheduled

    • Published

    • Failed

  • Filter posts by status

  • Sort posts by date

  • Delete a scheduled post before it’s published

Note: Once a post is published, it can no longer be edited or cancelled.


Tracking LinkedIn analytics

Once your post goes live and starts receiving engagement, Paperflite automatically generates a detailed analytics report.

You can track:

  • Post details: Date, Post ID, creator name, and email

  • Engagement metrics: Click rate, open rate, views, average time spent, downloads, likes, reactions, and comments

Understanding these insights helps you fine-tune your employee advocacy strategy and identify what truly resonates with your audience.
