# Connect LinkedIn

Clicking **Connect** on LinkedIn first asks where to post: **Your profile** or **Company page**. Choose **Your profile** and the window shows two ways to post to it. A brand holds one LinkedIn profile and one company page, whichever way the profile was connected; see [one account per network](connect-official-channels.md#one-account-per-network).

## Post through your SDR Pilot seat (available now)

A **seat** is a LinkedIn profile you already connected in SDR Pilot. Postbird hands each post to that seat and it goes out from the same profile, so you do not connect LinkedIn a second time.

1. Make sure the profile is connected in SDR Pilot first. A seat that is disconnected there shows **Disconnected in SDR Pilot, reconnect it there first**.
2. In Postbird, click **Connect** on LinkedIn, then **Connect** next to **Your profile**.
3. Under **Post through your SDR Pilot seat**, click **Use this seat** next to the profile.

A seat post takes text with up to 9 images or one PDF. If the account has no seats yet, the panel says so; connect a LinkedIn profile in SDR Pilot, then come back.

## Sign in with LinkedIn (coming soon)

Signing in straight with LinkedIn posts to your profile with text, images, video and PDFs. It shows **Coming soon** until LinkedIn approves Postbird. Until then, use an SDR Pilot seat.

**Company page** shows **Coming soon** in the same window: posting to a Page needs a separate approval from LinkedIn.
