How to use a Righthand with LinkedIn

Use Righthand to prepare LinkedIn company-page drafts from approved release material.

Quick answer

Use Righthand to prepare LinkedIn company-page drafts from approved release material. Identify the intended author and source claims before any public post is created.

Start with a reviewable deliverable, keeping LinkedIn as the accepted home for its records. This guide uses an explicitly approved snapshot or browser read; it does not assume that every provider API action is exposed by your Righthand connection.

Evidence and access

LinkedIn documents a Posts API with access permissions for creating and retrieving posts. See the official LinkedIn reference. Provider capabilities and Righthand's available tools are separate checks.

Limit the packet to the approved company page and post drafts, with the relevant administrator's source material and audience instructions. Verify the required tools and owner-approved scope through Righthand integrations; use the supplied packet when a native read is unavailable.

Define the objects and authority

Include these fields in the working input: member or organization ID, draft, source URL, asset, audience, reviewer. These are the requested review columns, not a promise that every provider endpoint returns them under those exact names.

A company author is different from a personal member. Verify identity and access; catalog presence does not grant publishing authority.

Illustrative first-run brief

Use the owner-provided LinkedIn snapshot or approved read-only view. Draft two posts from the release brief, preserve sources, and flag unsupported claims. Show the intended company author. Do not publish or message members. Run once for the agreed sample, using America/Los_Angeles for the review deadline and preserving source timestamps separately. Return the draft in this conversation by Friday at 3 PM Pacific for the communications owner to review. Include source references and missing fields. Do not write records, spend money, change permissions, or send external messages. Stop and report an unavailable source rather than substituting another account.

Expected result and verification

One draft can be ready while another waits for availability confirmation. Neither is reported as posted.

Compare release facts and author identity with the packet; verify an actual URL after any separately authorized publication. Record the source cutoff, applied filters, and items excluded from the sample. The reviewer should be able to follow each consequential finding back to an original object. A well-written summary is not evidence that a proposed action happened. If a later write is authorized, verify its specific result separately before changing the task's status.

Common failure and recovery

Expired permissions or unsupported API versions can block work. Ask the owner to review current access instead of switching authors.

If a page name matches another business, check its URL and owner identity before continuing. Keep proposed posts unsent while the target is unresolved.

FAQ

What should the reviewer verify first?

Verify the intended company page, current claim sources, and audience. A personal profile and a company page are different publishing destinations.

How should a repeat run be scoped?

Keep page URLs, draft IDs, approval dates, and intended publication times. On a repeat review, revalidate claims and links before requesting a separate authorized publish action.
