Add a LinkedIn profile mention from the post editor by selecting an eligible Page follower from the @ suggestions. Review the selected mention in the post text before you save, schedule, or publish the post.
Follower suggestions apply to a connected LinkedIn Company Page. Connect the Company Page that you will publish to; LinkedIn requires at least Content Admin access to connect a Company Page.
How to mention LinkedIn Page followers
- Connect the LinkedIn Company Page you will publish to.
- Create or edit a LinkedIn post in Loomly.
- Enter the text for the post.
- Where you want the mention, type
@and begin typing a name. Enter at least three characters to search for suggestions. - Review the suggestions and choose the matching entry labeled Page Follower.
- Check the mention in the post text, then save, schedule, or publish the post.
Understand the suggestions
Loomly searches LinkedIn organizations and, when the publishing target is a Company Page, followers of that Page. Suggestions can therefore include entries labeled Company Page and Page Follower. Use a Page Follower entry when adding a profile mention.
A Company Page entry and a Page Follower entry are different results. A Company Page entry identifies an organization. A Page Follower entry identifies the type of profile result that this workflow can use for a profile mention.
A suggestion list is not a directory of every LinkedIn member or every Page follower. The available results depend on the connected Company Page and the search query, so do not assume that a person can be mentioned because they appear elsewhere on LinkedIn.
When a name is not in the suggestions
First, confirm that the post targets the connected LinkedIn Company Page. Follower results are searched only for a Company Page target. Then type at least three characters of the name after @ and review the returned entries.
If the list does not include a matching Page Follower, do not treat a different LinkedIn profile as eligible. Remove the profile mention or revise the post without it. This workflow does not establish profile-mention eligibility for a personal LinkedIn publishing target.
Check eligibility before publishing
LinkedIn permits profile mentions only for followers of your connected organization page. If Loomly reports that a profile mention is invalid, remove the mention or choose an eligible Page follower before publishing.
For example, if typing @Sam returns a matching entry labeled Page Follower, select that entry instead of manually treating another LinkedIn profile as eligible. If the list contains only a Company Page or does not include the person, revise the post without that profile mention.
