LinkedIn Mentions
Monitor and track LinkedIn mentions, tags, and engagement metrics via Late
Resolve a LinkedIn profile or company URL to a URN for @mentions
Converts a LinkedIn profile URL (person) or company page URL (organization) to a URN that can be used to @mention them in posts.
Supports both:
- Person mentions:
linkedin.com/in/usernameor justusername - Organization mentions:
linkedin.com/company/company-nameorcompany/company-name
⚠️ Organization Admin Required for Person Mentions Only: Person mentions require the connected LinkedIn account to have admin access to at least one LinkedIn Organization (Company Page). Organization mentions do NOT have this requirement - any LinkedIn account can tag companies.
IMPORTANT - Display Name Requirement: For person mentions to be clickable, the display name must exactly match what appears on their LinkedIn profile.
- Organization mentions automatically retrieve the company name from LinkedIn API
- Person mentions require the exact name, so provide the
displayNameparameter
Mention Format:
Use the returned mentionFormat value directly in your post content:
