Integrating with LinkedIn

Kudos' integration with LinkedIn allows users to share when they've been recognized with their broader LinkedIn network. Users can select a specific recognition message to post on their LinkedIn feed and can approve the message before it's publicly posted.

You can integrate Kudos with LinkedIn by going to:

⚙️ > Account > Integrations > LinkedIn

Here you can select whether you want users to be able to connect their LinkedIn profile to their Kudos account, as well as if you want them to be able to post Kudos messages on LinkedIn. When you're done with your selections, click Save.

Once the LinkedIn integration is enabled for your organization, users will be presented with the option of connecting to LinkedIn upon activation of their accounts. 

The option to authenticate user credentials will appear once the Connect your Kudos Account to Linkedin button is clicked. 

The user can easily enable/disable the LinkedIn integration at any time in their personal settings in Kudos. To access click on My Settings > Advanced Settings.

Posting to LinkedIn 

Hover over the [...] icon and select Post to LinkedIn to share your recognition with your LinkedIn audience.

A Posted Date will appear on the recognition message once posted to LinkedIn.

If the user authorizes the integration to post the message to Linkedin and not all parties have opted into the Integration the message will always state the promoter's name and the number of others that were included in the message. 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).

If some recipients have opted in and others have not, only those who have opted in will be named in the message.
