Automate LinkedIn

Keep a steady presence on LinkedIn without writing every post on the day. Topics become drafts, articles from your blog or industry feeds become posts, images and videos go up from a link, and company page updates go out from a queue. Describe the posting routine to your AI assistant, read through what it plans to do, and LinkedIn gets its posts on schedule.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Tuesday and Thursday at 9am, pick a current topic in B2B marketing, write a LinkedIn post of about 150 words that doesn't repeat my recent posts, publish it on my profile and email me the link.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in LinkedIn

Posts written and published on your schedule, drafts you approve by email before they go live, and articles shared on your profile or company page. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
On a scheduleAI

Publish a LinkedIn post twice a week

A new post on a current topic in your field appears on your profile every Tuesday and Thursday, and you get its link.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with LinkedIn, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any LinkedIn automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what LinkedIn should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every Tuesday and Thursday at 9, use AI to turn one of my notes into a LinkedIn post in my voice and publish it.

Every weekday at 9, post the next row from my LinkedIn Queue sheet in Google Sheets and mark it Posted.

When I add a row to my Ideas sheet in Google Sheets, use AI to write a LinkedIn post and an X post from it, publish both and send me the links on Telegram.

Works with

LinkedIn with the apps you already use

LinkedIn posts start as ideas in a sheet, files in Drive, notes on Telegram or newsletters in Gmail, and they're often shared on Facebook and X as well.

LinkedIn works with hundreds of other apps

Name any of them when you ask your assistant, and your automation connects them. Over 248 apps are ready to go, and anything with an API works too.

  • YouTube

Beyond chat

Have LinkedIn work when you're not in the chat

Connecting LinkedIn to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect LinkedIn

LinkedIn connects through an app you create in the LinkedIn Developer portal, linked to a LinkedIn Page. Posting as yourself uses `w_member_social`; posting as a company page also needs LinkedIn to approve your app for the Community Management API.

LinkedIn

Social

  1. Create an app at linkedin.com/developers/apps and link it to a LinkedIn Page.
  2. Under Products, add Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect and Share on LinkedIn.
  3. Set the redirect to https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback and use the scopes openid, profile, email and w_member_social.
  4. Under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard, enter the client ID and client secret and click Connect. Reconnect when the token runs out after 60 days.

Good to know

LinkedIn limits that affect automations

  • LinkedIn access tokens last 60 days, and refresh tokens are only given to approved Marketing Developer Platform partners, so you reconnect every 60 days.
  • Posting to a company page needs w_organization_social, which LinkedIn only grants after approving your app for the Community Management API.
  • Large videos are uploaded in parts, so very long files take longer to post.

FAQ

Questions about automating LinkedIn

Can it post to my company page, or only my profile?
Your profile works with `w_member_social`. For a company page you need to be a page admin and your LinkedIn app needs Community Management API approval, which LinkedIn reviews.
Why do I need to reconnect LinkedIn?
LinkedIn tokens expire after 60 days and only approved partners get refresh tokens. When yours expires, reconnect it in the ClickRuntime dashboard and your automations continue.
Can I check posts before they go live?
Yes. The approval automation emails you each draft with an approve link, and nothing is published until you click it.
Do I need my own AI key?
No. Writing posts from topics or articles uses the AI included in every ClickRuntime plan. Image and video posts from a link don't use AI at all. AI-made images would need an image-model key, since the built-in AI writes text.
Can it read my LinkedIn feed or messages?
No. These automations publish posts. They don't read your feed, messages or connections.
Is this a LinkedIn connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with LinkedIn data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change LinkedIn while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each LinkedIn event.
