How to share and amplify LinkedIn posts from Microsoft Teams

SocialWeaver brings your organization's LinkedIn posts to Microsoft Teams, allowing you to share, react, and comment with a single click.

Follow these steps to connect your LinkedIn profile to your organization's SocialWeaver account:

Connect your LinkedIn account

1. Click on the invite link you received from your marketing team. The link should look something like this: https://app.socialweaver.com/auth/employee/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX/connect?group=marketing

2. Click Continue to proceed to LinkedIn.

💡

SocialWeaver will not have access to or be able to store your LinkedIn credentials. When you authenticate with LinkedIn, you'll see a complete list of all the permissions and account information the SocialWeaver app will obtain.

3. Enter your LinkedIn credentials, then click Sign in.

💡

This dialog will be skipped automatically if you're already signed in to LinkedIn on your current browser session.

4. Click on Allow to proceed. You will be redirected back to SocialWeaver.

5. Select your preferred approval mode. There are two available modes of content approval in SocialWeaver:

  • Manual (Recommended): This is the default content approval mode where you manually share, comment, and like all LinkedIn content pushed to Microsoft Teams.
  • Automatic: Give your organization permission to share and like posts on your behalf. Only posts shared on your organization's LinkedIn page can be automatically re-shared and liked on your behalf.

If you choose the manual approval mode, you'll need to enable at least one option to receive content notifications. To enable Microsoft Teams, click on the Install SocialWeaver for Teams link. You will be redirected to Microsoft to enter your Microsoft Teams account credentials.

6. Enter your Microsoft Teams account credentials. You will be redirected back to SocialWeaver once the authentication process is done.

💡

This step will be skipped automatically if you're already signed in to Microsoft on your current browser session.

7. Make sure the Microsoft Teams checkbox is checked, then click on Save. You can check the email checkbox as well if you'd like to engage with content via email as an additional method.

You will receive a notification from the SocialWeaver application on Teams confirming that your account configuration process is done.

💡

You can return to this page and make changes by visiting the same invite link from step one or clicking on the Preferences button from Microsoft Teams.

Engage with content from Microsoft Teams

After completing the account configuration process above, you should be ready to start engaging with your Organization's LinkedIn content directly from Microsoft Teams.

When a new LinkedIn post is published, you'll receive a notification on the SocialWeaver app. Here's an example of what it should look like:

You should be able to:

  • Like. This is the equivalent of finding the post on LinkedIn and liking it.
  • Share the post to your LinkedIn feed. And
  • Comment.
