Connecting LinkedIn To Oviond

To connect your LinkedIn page to Oviond, all you will need is your LinkedIn login credentials. All pages you have been given Super admin access to will show up under the drop-down menu once the authentication has been completed.

Steps to follow to connect LinkedIn as an integration on Oviond:

  1. Make sure you are logged out of LinkedIn.

  2. Go into your Oviond account and navigate to the client you want to connect LinkedIn to.

  3. Click on LinkedIn.

  4. An authentication pop-up will appear (The first authenticated account will automatically be called "Default LinkedIn Account") and you can change this here. This will prompt you to log in to your LinkedIn account with your email and password.

  5. Go through all the steps in the pop-up.

  6. Choose the LinkedIn account you would like to connect to the client and click Save.

NOTE: The API for LinkedIn is not for personal LinkedIn profiles. If you are unable to see the LinkedIn account that you are connecting to, please ensure that you are connecting to a LinkedIn business page and not a LinkedIn profile.
