Connect LinkedIn to WordPress

A blog post does more when people see it, and LinkedIn is where many professional readers are. Connecting WordPress and LinkedIn shares each new post with a proper write-up, and can even write the post and the announcement together on a schedule.

Build your own

Build any LinkedIn and WordPress automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between LinkedIn and WordPress 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

Only share posts in the "Insights" category and write a summary in 3 short paragraphs.

Wait 2 hours after publishing before sharing, in case I make edits.
