Here are the different steps to connect a LinkedIn page. The LinkedIn connection funnel starts at step 3:

  1. Source management
  2. Connection roles
  3. Permissions
  4. Page selection
  5. Confirmation

Important prerequisite: only LinkedIn business pages can be connected to Bodyguard. Make sure you have the admin role to perform the connection.

1. Source management

From the menu sidebar, go to Settings > Sources.

The 'sources' page is the main section to manage any account and page: connection, credential refresh, reconnection, and status check. 

 

 

 

2. Connection roles

Our Customer Success team is in charge of creating the sources, but the user has to connect them. There are two options to connect a source, depending on the person performing the connection and their role. 

Option 1 : you are the user performing the connection. You can directly click on the options of the source you want to connect, and access 'connect source'. 

Option 2 : someone else performs the connection. 

Click on the button below, and share the copied link to the person who will connect the source.

You will be redirected to this welcome page, where you can choose the type of source you want to connect.

3. Permissions

This is where the LinkedIn connection funnel starts. You will be asked to authorize Bodyguard to access specific information.
