Connect Your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn is coming later. Facebook and Instagram come first; LinkedIn needs LinkedIn's approval to post as your salon's page. The steps below describe how it will work, and the Connect button appears on Social > Accounts once it is ready.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Make sure you have the following:
- An active LinkedIn account
- A completed LinkedIn profile with your name and industry
Step-by-Step Instructions
Navigate to Social Accounts
Log in to your Gloss Front admin dashboard and go to Social Media → Accounts.
Click "Connect LinkedIn"
Find the LinkedIn card and click the "Connect LinkedIn" button. You'll be redirected to LinkedIn to authorize the connection.
Approve Permissions on LinkedIn
LinkedIn will show you a consent screen requesting the following permissions:
- Basic profile information - To identify your account
- Content publishing - To post updates on your behalf
Click "Allow" to grant these permissions.
Verify Connection
You'll be redirected back to Gloss Front. You should see a success message and your LinkedIn profile name displayed in the connected accounts list.
You're all set!
Your LinkedIn profile is now connected. You can start creating and scheduling professional posts from your dashboard.
🔧 Troubleshooting
❌ "Authorization failed"
Make sure you're logging in with the correct LinkedIn account. If you have multiple LinkedIn accounts, ensure you're using the one you want to connect.
❌ "Access token expired"
LinkedIn access tokens expire after 60 days. If you see this error, simply reconnect your account by clicking "Connect LinkedIn" again and following the steps.
❌ "Profile not found"
Your LinkedIn profile needs to be complete with at least your name and industry. Visit your LinkedIn profile and make sure these fields are filled in.
