Connect LinkedIn to X

LinkedIn and X both matter for professional reach, but they want different posts: LinkedIn likes a considered paragraph, X a sharp line. Connecting them lets one idea, article or release become two posts that each fit, without writing twice.

Build your own

Build any LinkedIn and X automation you can describe

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

Write the X version as a short question that links to the LinkedIn post rather than repeating it.

Each Friday, pick my LinkedIn post from the week with the most detail and turn it into a five-part X thread for Monday morning.

Use cases

Why people connect LinkedIn and X

How the two apps work together

  • A schedule or a check every few minutes picks the next item, from a list, a feed or a topic.
  • The script writes a LinkedIn version and a shorter X version and posts both.
  • Post IDs are saved, so it does not repost the same item, and failures are reported.

  • Founders building in public

    Updates are shared on LinkedIn with more detail and on X in a shorter form. Both audiences follow the same story.

  • Consultants promoting their content

    A new article is posted to both networks with a version written for each. One piece of work reaches more people.

  • Developer advocates sharing releases

    Release notes become a LinkedIn post and an X thread. Engineers and managers both hear about it.

  • Job seekers staying visible

    A weekly post about what they learned goes to both networks. Their profile stays active with little effort.

More apps

LinkedIn, X and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Post queue in a sheet

Post each due row in my Google Sheet to LinkedIn and X, with the X version trimmed to fit, and mark each row posted.

New WordPress article to both

When I publish on WordPress, share it on LinkedIn with a summary and on X with a short hook.

Release announcements

When a new release is published in my GitHub repo, write a LinkedIn post and an X thread from the release notes and post both.

Setup

Connect LinkedIn and X once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

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.

X

Social

  1. In the X Developer Console, create an app and buy credits.
  2. Under User authentication settings, choose OAuth 2.0 as a Web App (confidential) with the callback https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback.
  3. Use the scopes tweet.read, tweet.write, users.read and offline.access, adding media.write for images.
  4. Enter the client ID and secret under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard. You can use an OAuth 1.0a consumer key and access token for your own account instead.

FAQ

Questions about connecting LinkedIn and X

Are the LinkedIn and X posts the same?
Usually not. LinkedIn gets a longer, more professional version and X a short one within its character limit.
Which accounts does it post from?
The LinkedIn and X accounts you connect in your ClickRuntime dashboard. LinkedIn can be a personal profile or a company page you manage.
What if one network is down?
The other post still goes out, and the run notes which one failed so you can retry.
Can I include images?
Yes. Images are uploaded to each network separately so they display properly.
Can it post as a company page on LinkedIn and a personal account on X?
Yes. Each connection is separate, so you can post as your company page on LinkedIn and your own X account.
Will it post at the same time on both?
By default yes, but you can set different times for each network.
Can I review posts first?
Yes. Drafts can be sent to you by email or chat and posted only after you approve.
