    CMP lists your account under that social channel. You can add multiple social accounts.

The process is the same for other social accounts. After clicking sync account, you are asked to log in to your account. After logging in, the account is added and is available under that social account.

Re-sync your LinkedIn social account

After a certain period, the connection that lets CMP publish to LinkedIn will expire, which is expected behavior. LinkedIn does this for various security and technical reasons. When this happens, you will have to re-sync the account.

How to re-sync a LinkedIn account

  1. Log into the correct LinkedIn account in your browser.

  2. Log in to the CMP in another browser tab, and select your avatar > Integrations > Website, CMS & Feed.

  3. Locate the LinkedIn Account section and click Sync Account. Integrations-LinkedIn-9.png
