The LinkedIn integration adds a one-click Share to LinkedIn option to recognition awards and milestone posts. When an employee receives a recognition or hits a service-award milestone, they can post the achievement to their LinkedIn profile in a couple of taps — turning internal recognition into an external talent-brand signal.

​
Before you start

  • You must be a Super Admin in Empuls to enable the integration org-wide.
  • Individual employees authorize their own LinkedIn account the first time they share — there’s no per-user admin step.
  • LinkedIn’s content policies apply to anything shared from Empuls.

​
How it works

1

Enable LinkedIn org-wide

From the Integrations hub, click LinkedIn → Configure and toggle Enable LinkedIn sharing on.
2

Pick which events get a share button

Choose which Empuls events surface a Share to LinkedIn button — recognition received, service-award milestone, jury award won, leaderboard top finish. Most organizations enable all four.
3

Set a default post template (optional)

Provide a default post body with placeholders like {{award_name}}, {{company_name}}, and {{completed_year}}. Employees can edit before posting.
4

Save

The Share button now appears on the chosen Empuls events. Each employee links their own LinkedIn account the first time they use it.

​
What the employee sees

  1. An eligible Empuls event (for example, a service-award post on the feed) shows a Share to LinkedIn button.
  2. Clicking it opens a LinkedIn auth screen the first time. Subsequent uses skip auth.
  3. The default post body appears, pre-filled with placeholders resolved against the event data.
  4. The employee edits and clicks Post. The update appears on their LinkedIn profile.

​
Customizing share content

The default template supports:
  • {{first_name}}, {{last_name}} — employee’s display name
  • {{award_name}} — title of the award or milestone
  • {{company_name}} — your Empuls program name (from Branding)
  • {{completed_year}} — for service awards, the anniversary year
  • {{citation}} — the recognition citation text
Employees can edit freely before posting; the template only sets the default.

​
Limits and gotchas

  • LinkedIn requires the employee’s account to be in good standing (no recent policy violations) for sharing to succeed.
  • Posts respect LinkedIn’s visibility rules — they appear on the employee’s profile, not on your company page.
  • Disabling LinkedIn org-wide hides the share button immediately. Already-posted updates stay on LinkedIn.
