LinkedIn connects via OAuth using OpenID Connect. frik.io always connects your personal profile and, when LinkedIn has approved organization access for the app, your company Pages too.
How to Connect
- Open Social Accounts and click the LinkedIn tile.
- Sign in to LinkedIn and approve access.
- Your personal profile connects immediately. If organization access is granted, admin Pages you manage are detected and offered as additional accounts.
Permissions Requested
- openid / profile / email — identity
- w_member_social — publish posts as you (your personal profile)
- r_organization_social / w_organization_social — list and post to company Pages (only once LinkedIn approves the app's Community Management API access)
Personal vs Company Pages
- Personal profile posting works out of the box with
w_member_social. - Company Page posting requires LinkedIn to have approved organization scopes. If they aren't active yet, frik.io gracefully falls back to member-only scopes and connects your personal profile — it will not fail the whole login. When org access is available and you're an administrator of a Page, that Page appears as a connectable account (internally posts route to
org:<id>).
Publishing Specifics
Compose text or media posts and select LinkedIn like any other network. Use a per-network override to tailor the tone for a professional audience.
Reconnecting & Disconnecting
Click Reconnect to refresh an expired token or to pick up newly granted organization access. Disconnect via ⋯ → Disconnect.
Troubleshooting
- My company Page isn't listed: organization scopes may not be active for the app yet, or you're not an administrator of that Page. frik.io connects your personal profile in the meantime; reconnect once org access is available.
- Authorization failed with a scope error: frik.io automatically retries with member-only scopes so you still get connected as your personal profile.
