LinkedIn Mentions

To mention someone on LinkedIn in Dopost, type “@” in the caption editor and start writing the name of the person or company. Type at least 3 characters to load results. Click the result you want and it will be inserted as a bold mention. You can copy this mention and paste it into any of your other LinkedIn accounts, and it will still work.

If you’re searching for a company or school and don’t see it, try using the vanity slug from the LinkedIn URL.
Example:
https://www.linkedin.com/school/harvard-university/ → search “harvard-university” instead of “Harvard”.

Searching for people only returns followers of your organization. This is a LinkedIn API limitation.

Account limitations:

  • Personal accounts can only mention companies, schools, universities, etc.

  • Organization accounts can mention their followers (people) as well as companies, schools, universities, etc.

Mentions can be cross-shared between accounts. For example, you can copy a person mention generated from an organization account and paste it into a personal account’s caption.
