Integrating with LinkedIn

Kudos' integration with LinkedIn allows users to share the recognition they receive on Kudos with their broader LinkedIn network. Once the Kudos and LinkedIn integration has been enabled by an Admin, individual Users can select a specific recognition message to post on their LinkedIn feed and can approve the message before it is publicly posted.

To enable the integration, navigate to the Gear Icon ⚙️ > Account > Integrations > LinkedIn and click Edit. 

Be sure to check Allow users to connect their linkedIn profiles to turn the integration on, and check Allow users to post kudos messages to linkedIn if you'd like to allow users to post to their personal LinkedIn pages. Once you're finished, click Save.

User Setup 

Once the LinkedIn integration is enabled for your organization, Users can follow this guide to set up the integration with their personal LinkedIn account: Integrating with LinkedIn and Skype.

This will not share the recipient's name as they have not opted into the integration: 

If multiple parties have opted into the integration the message will post to LinkedIn and will mention the name of the sender and recipient(s):
