LinkedIn integration
for VeloCMS

Publish a post on VeloCMS and it shares to LinkedIn automatically — title, excerpt, and a public share card — using LinkedIn's own UGC Posts API.

Get started

What this integration does

The LinkedIn Cross-Post connector listens for the post:afterPublish hook. It first resolves the connected member's author URN via LinkedIn's /v2/userinfo endpoint, then creates a UGC post through /v2/ugcPosts with ARTICLE share media pointing at the canonical post URL, the post title, and the excerpt as the share commentary — published with public visibility immediately. The connected access token needs the w_member_social scope. If the token is missing or the URN can't be resolved (an expired token or a scope that doesn't include posting), the crosspost is skipped and logged; it never blocks the post from publishing.

Auto-share on publish

Every published post creates a public UGC share on LinkedIn automatically — no manual posting.

Native LinkedIn UGC API

Built on LinkedIn's own /v2/ugcPosts endpoint with ARTICLE share media — the same shape LinkedIn's own share button produces.

Fail-soft by design

A missing token, expired scope, or LinkedIn API error is logged and skipped — it never blocks the post from publishing.

Where to find it in admin

  1. 1
    Admin → Plugins → LinkedIn. Connect a LinkedIn access token with the w_member_social scope, which grants permission to post on your behalf.
  2. 2
    Save. The next post you publish shares to LinkedIn automatically as a public UGC post.

Use cases

A founder writing a company blog crossposts every article to their personal LinkedIn profile the moment it goes live, keeping thought-leadership content in front of a professional audience without a manual share step. A B2B SaaS company uses the connector to distribute product updates and case studies to LinkedIn automatically, in sync with the blog. A consultant publishing niche industry analysis gets consistent LinkedIn distribution without remembering to share each new post by hand.
