Access to additional post formats, including native posts (posts without external links or third-party sources).

How to make a Social Connection
By connecting to LinkedIn, the user is allowing Sociuu to have limited access to the user's profile, only using:​
​​​
-
Amount of Likes, comments, and interactions on posts shared via Sociuu.
-
User name and photo.
-
Verifying whether a post has been published
​​
In addition to this information, the user will also have access to the following features:
-
Scheduling posts to their LinkedIn profile
-
Usage of @-mentions to tag company IDs
​
Due to LinkedIn's restrictions on its API integration, it is only possible to @-mention company IDs and not individual persons.
​
Verify Who has Connected the LinkedIn Profile​​​
In your admin platform, Go to the user list and look for the verification icon next to the user. If the verification icon is visible, the user has done the social connection correctly.
Also, by exporting the userlist, there is a dedicated column showing whether a user has an active connection or not.
