Connect LinkedIn to SmartChat
Connect LinkedIn in the AI Chat. On the set date your post goes live, and everyone who signed up gets their reminder on WhatsApp.
One deadline, two effects.
When a contact signs up for an event, SmartChat reminds them on WhatsApp. On the day itself, the same automation can publish a post on your LinkedIn page.
Invitation and notes about the site.
Hall, time and documents for the evening.

One date starts both ways.
You decide once what happens on the set date. After that, the automation runs without any effort from you.

Frequently asked questions about LinkedIn and SmartChat.
How do I connect LinkedIn with SmartChat?
Write in the AI Chatthat you want to connect LinkedIn. SmartChat AI shows you a card with the button to connect. The LinkedIn sign-in window opens, you pick your account and allow access.
Does SmartChat send messages through LinkedIn?
No. Messages to your contacts only go out on WhatsApp. An automation uses LinkedIn for posts and numbers.
What can SmartChat post on LinkedIn?
An automation can create a post as a person or as an organisation, with images if you like. It can share a link with a comment, post a video and comment on posts.
Which numbers can SmartChat read from LinkedIn?
Page statistics such as page views and clicks, post statistics, the follower count of a company page and the reactions to posts.
Does an event in LinkedIn trigger a WhatsApp?
We don't describe that on this page because we can't back it up. The automations start from events in SmartChat, for example a sign-up or a date.
When does the post go live?
At the time you give the automation, for example on the day of the event. You see the automation beforehand and switch it on yourself.
Can I post as a company page?
Yes. The action supports posts as a person or as an organisation.
Who sets this up?
Only admins use SmartChat AI to build and change automations. If the automation has a goal, SmartChat AI shows it to you before it starts, and changes can be undone.
How many automations are included?
An automation with LinkedIn is an extra one. Free and Starter only have the fixed automation for new contacts. Basic has 3 automations, one of them fixed, and Pro has unlimited.
What does it cost?
Free costs €0, Starter €299, Basic €499 and Pro €999 per month, each plus VAT. Sending and every automation run cost no credits. Meta charges its own fees for messages, more on that here.
Does Meta have to approve the messages?
Yes, every message outside the inbox is a template that Meta has reviewed and approved. SmartChat AI writes it and submits it.
What if someone no longer wants the reminders?
They write STOP. After that they get neither newsletters nor automations.
