Both are PRO and take the same care with regulated sectors. PRO Updated for version 3.82 7 min read ## Two ways to use it Choose by goal: the summary takes LinkedIn readers to the blog article; the LinkedIn plan builds a presence of its own on the network, with themes made for it. | | Article summary | LinkedIn plan | | --- | --- | --- | | What it is | A post that sums up the article and ends with its link. | Standalone posts, each with its own theme, briefing and image. | | Where to turn it on | The Publish a LinkedIn summary too switch, in the WP plan's Editorial prompt. | The Editorial Planning LinkedIn tab. | | Which profile | The article author's. | The theme author's. | | Image | The post's own image, made with the plan's image settings. | Always made with AI. Needs the OpenAI key. | ## Connect LinkedIn The connection lives in Global Settings, in the LinkedIn part, and belongs to the site: each site connects its own profiles. Today the connection uses a LinkedIn app you create, once per site. The Use the jode.io connection option shows as "coming soon". - 1 **Create the LinkedIn app**Once per site In the LinkedIn app card, keep Use my own LinkedIn app selected and open the Step-by-step guide. It shows how to create the app on LinkedIn Developers, enable the 2 products the app needs and copy its keys. Paste the Client ID and Client secret and click Save app. - 2 **Link each profile to an author** In the LinkedIn profiles card, click + Add LinkedIn user, choose the WordPress author and click Connect LinkedIn. The LinkedIn window connects the profile that is signed in on that browser. - 3 **Connect the other people** Each author connects their own profile. To add another person, sign in to LinkedIn as that person before clicking Connect LinkedIn. A private browser window helps. ### When the connection expires A LinkedIn connection lasts up to about 60 days. While it is valid, the profile shows reconnect by [date]. Once the date passes, every screen that depends on it says LinkedIn connection expired on [date] and offers Connect LinkedIn. **Renew only with the same person.** If the browser is signed in to another LinkedIn account, the plugin stops before saving, so an author's profile is never swapped by mistake. Linking an author to a different person only happens through + Add LinkedIn user. A profile nobody will renew goes away with Remove. ## Whose post it is The summary goes to the profile linked to the article's author. Before the article exists, the plan answers: the author chosen on the theme or, without one, the plan's main author. Once the article exists, the post's author in WordPress counts. Changing the author on the theme card also changes the article's author. - **Author without a connected profile:** nothing of the summary is generated or charged. The summary options stay locked and name the author who still needs to connect. The article is generated as usual. - **No author of the plan can post:** the plan's summary switch stays locked, with the reason. It comes back by itself as soon as an author connects their profile. - **Some authors without a profile:** a notice lists who will have no summary, so you can decide whether to connect them or carry on. ## What the post looks like The post is a large image with the text, and the article link goes at the end of the text. LinkedIn no longer shows the large link card, so the post's own image is what catches the eye in the feed. **Whole text, never cut.** The summary has up to 3,000 characters. If it runs longer, it is rewritten shorter. The link goes at the end when it fits, and neither the text nor the address is cut in the middle. **In the output language.** The text and the line that introduces the link come out in the output language, never in the language of whoever is signed in. **One-word hashtags.** Each hashtag is a single word, the way LinkedIn recognizes it. **Image saved before posting.** The LinkedIn image uses the plan's image settings (model, size, logo and palette) and is saved, in JPG by default, a format LinkedIn accepts. So you see exactly the image that will go live. The cost of the summary and of the LinkedIn image shows up separately, step by step, in each article's cost. ## Review and publish the summary In the generate window and in the Scheduling card, the LinkedIn summary switch has its own choice between Publish and Draft. The default is Draft. This choice is separate from the article's: the article can go live while the summary waits for your review. - 1 **Open the summary** On the theme card, click LinkedIn summary. The window shows exactly what will be posted: the whole image, uncropped, and the text right below it, in the same scroll. - 2 **Edit or generate again** Edit the text right there, or use Regenerate summary for a new text and Regenerate summary + image to redo both. - 3 **Publish** Click Publish to LinkedIn. The post goes out on the article author's profile. ### With client review When the article goes to client review, the summary travels with it: whoever approves the review releases both. If the client opened the review without seeing the summary, closing the review never posts the summary. ### An article that is already live Only the article's first publication takes the summary along. When you publish a correction of an article that is already live, the saved summary stays saved until someone publishes it. **LinkedIn does not allow editing a published post.** Publishing a new summary for an article that already has a post deletes the old post, with its reactions and comments, and puts the new one in its place. The window warns you first. The old post is deleted by the same profile that published it. ## LinkedIn plans A LinkedIn plan works like a blog plan, but each theme becomes a post, with no article behind it. It lives in the Editorial Planning LinkedIn tab, which comes on and can be turned off in Global Settings › Modules. - **Themes with a briefing.** The Themes for LinkedIn list takes themes like blog plans do, and each theme comes in with its briefing written. See [Themes and briefings](https://jode.io/docs/themes-and-briefings/). - **Focus on the scope.** The post goes deep on the briefing's scope and only mentions, in a few words, what belongs to other themes in the plan. - **Image always with AI.** Every post carries an AI-made image, so the plan needs the OpenAI key. See [AI keys and costs](https://jode.io/docs/ai-keys-and-costs/). - **Connected profile.** The theme's author needs a connected LinkedIn profile. Without one, the plan doesn't generate and says what is missing. - **Publish or Draft.** With Publish, the post goes out as soon as it is ready. With Draft, it is written and saved without posting; later you open the LinkedIn post on the card and click Publish to LinkedIn. The plan's required settings (editorial prompt, author and the others) are the same as for a blog plan. See [Projects and plans](https://jode.io/docs/projects-and-plans/). ## Regulated sectors With the **Jurídico** (legal), **Saúde** (health) and **Finanças** (finance) profiles, the post follows those sectors' communication rules: it doesn't advise readers on their own case, promises no results, doesn't solicit clients and never invents a law. The sector comes from the plan's Main profile. **Mandatory closing line.** Every post in these sectors ends with a closing line in the output language. If it is missing, the text is redone up to 3 times and then only the line is asked for again. **No line, no post.** Regulated text without the closing line is never posted, by any path, not even when a person publishes the article. **What the line guarantees:** that the closing line is in the post. It does not guarantee that the text is legally adequate. Review by whoever is responsible for the content is still needed. Outside the regulated sectors, the post carries no disclaimer and no closing line: in a marketing post, that notice would get in the way. Found something wrong or missing?
