Set it up

The LinkedIn settings page in Sift, showing connected accounts (account names redacted for the docs).
LinkedIn settings in Sift - manage connected accounts here.

Go to Settings → Integrations → LinkedIn and sign in as a Page admin of the company Page you want to connect. Authorize the Sift app - that's the whole flow.

If your company has multiple Pages (e.g. brand + regional + acquired-company), each can be connected separately and routed to its own queue.

What you can do

Reply to any inbound comment from the inbox - Sift posts back to LinkedIn as the connected Page.

Trigger workflows off comment signal (sentiment, keyword, author). Route to the right team automatically. Apply auto-reply bots for FAQ patterns.

LinkedIn's API surface for third-party tools is narrow by design: Pages only, comments + mentions only, reply-only outbound. Sift uses what's available; what isn't, isn't.

What Sift ingests

Once a Page is connected, Sift ingests every comment + reply on every post the Page has published, plus mentions of the Page from anywhere on LinkedIn. Each comment carries the author profile, the post it's on, and the timestamp - usable for filtering, routing, and bot triggers.

Not supported today

  • Page messages / inbox: LinkedIn doesn't expose Page messaging to third-party apps. Handle DMs in LinkedIn directly.
  • Personal profile activity: LinkedIn's API is Pages-only for moderation tools.
  • LinkedIn Groups: not part of the Pages API.
  • Publishing or scheduling Page posts: Sift handles conversation, not content scheduling. Pair Sift with a dedicated scheduler if you need that.
  • Sales Navigator / Recruiter surfaces: separate LinkedIn products, separate APIs.
