LinkedIn Pages Managed by Teams:
If you are managing your LinkedIn Company Page with multiple team members, please make sure that you have the correct role on the page before connecting to Mention. At this time, you must be one of the following roles:
Super Admin
Content Admin
Sponsored Content Poster
If you do not have one of these roles on the Company Page, please contact the page admin to switch your role to one of these. If you do not have one of these roles, you will encounter an error on Mention while trying to connect! For more help, please contact the Mention Support team!
Connect a LinkedIn Company Page to Mention
Once you have access to a LinkedIn Company Page, you can begin the process of connecting your account to Mention! Please follow the steps below:

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips:
If you do not see any pop-ups during this process, please turn off any ad-blockers that are connected to your web browser.
If you are already logged in to a LinkedIn account in your web browser, Mention will quickly recognize this and attempt to connect to the LinkedIn account that is signed in. This will help you get through the process quicker! However, if the account is managed on a different LinkedIn account then we recommend signing out of LinkedIn in your web browser, using an incognito window, or using a different browser that is not signed in to anything!
If you login to Mention using your account credentials and Mention notifies you that there are no pages to connect, please contact the admin who manages the LinkedIn page. You must first get access to the page via page roles on LinkedIn platform. Contact us for more help!

⚙️ Remove Mention Mention Connection on LinkedIn's Platform
Deleting a social account on Mention will not remove the integration on the LinkedIn native platform. If you would like to remove the connection, please head over to LinkedIn and follow these steps:
On your LinkedIn account, go to your profile image and click on it. This will open a drop-down menu. Please choose the option titled Settings & Privacy.
