Linkedin Connect
Enable ambassadors to connect their LinkedIn profiles directly to Sociuu.
This feature provides more personal data insights into the performance of the ambassadors' posting and more different post formats to share.
Admins can create unique native posts (posts without links or origins from other sources) and share if with the list of employees, who have connected their LinkedIn profiles in Sociuu.
Please note that the feature is optional for users, so users who do not connect to LinkedIn, only can receive traditional Sociuu post format - regular, direct, and video posts.
