How does LinkedIn integration work?

  1. Sign in to LinkedIn and search for your company page.
  2. Once on your company page, click on "See all X employees on LinkedIn". This will open the list of employees and the Company ID will be included in the URL.

3. Copy the Company ID (this is the number in the URL).

4. Go to Marketplace and select the LinkedIn Limited Listings app.

5. Click on the ‘Set up integration’ button, paste your LinkedIn Company ID, and save your integration settings.
