LinkedIn is the world's largest professional networking platform with over 1 billion members. It offers business tools for recruitment, B2B marketing, content publishing, and professional development. Beyond networking, LinkedIn provides APIs for authentication, company data, job postings, and lead generation.
How to integrate LinkedIn with Webflow
LinkedIn doesn't offer an official Webflow app, but you can leverage powerful integrations through third-party applications for authentication and content automation, native embed features for displaying LinkedIn content, or build custom workflows using LinkedIn's APIs for advanced functionality like lead tracking and company data synchronization.
Use third-party apps
Postblaster automates content distribution by transforming your Webflow CMS posts into LinkedIn updates. The app uses AI to generate engaging summaries, suggests relevant hashtags, and publishes at optimal times for maximum reach.
Key capabilities include:
- AI-powered content optimization that adapts your message for LinkedIn's professional audience
- Scheduled posting to maintain a consistent presence without manual effort
- Multi-account management for agencies handling multiple client profiles
Additional tools like Assembly provide unified social media management, allowing you to coordinate LinkedIn posts alongside other platforms from a single dashboard.
Use native embeds and features
Webflow's HTML embed element enables direct LinkedIn content integration without custom code. You can display LinkedIn posts, profiles, and company information using LinkedIn's official embed tools.
- LinkedIn post embeds showcase thought leadership content directly on your site. Copy the embed code from any public LinkedIn post and paste it into an HTML embed element. The embedded post maintains full interactivity, including likes and comments.
- Profile badges and follow buttons build professional credibility. Generate these from LinkedIn's developer tools and embed them on team pages or author bios. They update automatically when your LinkedIn profile changes.
- Company page widgets display your organization's LinkedIn presence, including follower count and recent updates. This social proof enhances trust for B2B visitors evaluating your services.
For responsive design, wrap LinkedIn embeds in div blocks with CSS styling to ensure proper scaling across devices. Set maximum widths and use padding-based aspect ratios to maintain consistent layouts.
Build with Webflow and LinkedIn APIs
LinkedIn's public APIs provide limited access to basic profile data and content publishing. Available endpoints include basic profile information (name, headline, photo) and the ability to share content on behalf of authenticated users.
Note: LinkedIn's advanced APIs require Partnership Program approval (less than 10% approval rate) and are not accessible to most developers. Basic integration is limited to simple authentication and content sharing.
Core capabilities include of building with LinkedIn APIs include:
Basic social authentication
Create simple LinkedIn login experiences:
- Configure OAuth application in LinkedIn's developer portal
- Access basic profile data: name, headline, profile photo, and email address only
Limitation: Work experience, education, skills, and connections require Partnership approval.
Simple content sharing
Share Webflow content to LinkedIn:
- Implement OAuth flow for user consent
- Use Share API to post content on behalf of authenticated users
Limitation: Each post requires explicit user permission.
What you can build
Integrating LinkedIn with Webflow enables basic professional presence and content automation, though advanced features require third-party solutions.
- Content syndication sites: Publish once in Webflow and automatically distribute to LinkedIn using Postblaster, with AI-optimized formatting and engagement tracking
- Simple professional communities: Build membership sites where users authenticate with LinkedIn (basic profile data only), suitable for networking groups and professional associations
- Company showcase websites: Display real-time LinkedIn content through embeds, including company updates, employee posts, and thought leadership content
- Basic lead capture systems: Create landing pages with LinkedIn sign-in for streamlined contact collection, though comprehensive lead data requires third-party enrichment services
Frequently asked questions
Create custom share buttons using Webflow's link blocks with this onclick attribute:
window.open('https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)).For dynamic content, use the Embed element to insert JavaScript that pulls page titles and URLs. Style buttons with your brand colors while maintaining LinkedIn's visual guidelines.
Yes, use LinkedIn's post embed feature for individual posts or implement the Digidop template for dynamic feeds. The template uses Webflow CMS collections synced via Make.com to display multiple posts with automatic updates. Note that LinkedIn's API restricts full feed access, so automation tools work with public posts only.
Install the LinkedIn Insight Tag by adding the base code to your site's custom code head section. For specific conversion events, add event-specific code to individual pages or use Google Tag Manager for more complex tracking setups. Set up conversion actions in LinkedIn Campaign Manager to measure ROI.
LinkedIn SSO requires Memberstack or similar authentication services since Webflow lacks native OAuth support. After installing Memberstack, configure LinkedIn as an authentication provider in their dashboard, add the login component to your Webflow pages, and use conditional visibility to show member-only content based on authentication status.
Use Postblaster for AI-powered automation or create Zapier workflows that trigger when CMS items are published. Postblaster offers superior formatting and hashtag optimization, while Zapier provides more control over timing and conditions. Both solutions require connecting your LinkedIn account and configuring post templates.
