Set up an API integration for LinkedIn Pages messaging

Last updated: 2 years ago

With LinkedIn Pages messaging, you can directly connect with members through an inbox on your Page. You can also set up an API integration to manage messages through our API partner platforms, which are currently:

  • Bird CRM
  • Brandwatch 
  • Hootsuite
  • Oktopost
  • Sprinklr
  • Zoho

Through the Pages messaging API, you can send and receive messages, use filters, assign messages to the right teams, and get notifications about messages. Specific feature availability depends on the partner platform.
