Planable offers the option to tag both company and personal profiles. Please see below for instructions on finding the exact handle:
Company pages
In your composer, add "@" followed by the name of the company page you're trying to add. If you're having trouble finding the right account, we recommend going to the LinkedIn company page, and copying the page handle as it appears in the URL:
Then, back in Planable, paste the page handle after "@":
Personal profiles
The same process applies to personal profiles. Please note however that the person you want to tag must be a follower of your company’s page on LinkedIn.
Additional key considerations for tagging personal profiles:
Please note that in some instances, tagging personal profiles that follow the company profile might not work. This can happen due to some reasons, as presented below. Unfortunately, these factors are limitations that come from LinkedIn itself. If you're experiencing issues, please review these potential factors to ensure successful.
1. Enabling Mentions or tags
It could be because their "Mentions or tags" setting is turned off. This setting controls whether others can mention or tag the person in posts, comments, or photos on LinkedIn.
If you have the possibility to contact the person, you can ask them to adjust this setting. Here's how they can enable it:
1) Access the LinkedIn Visibility Settings.
2) Locate on the "Mentions or Tags" option.
2. Enabling Off-LinkedIn Visibility
Sometimes, the person you’re trying to tag has a specific setting in their LinkedIn account called "Off-LinkedIn Visibility" activated. When this setting is off, their profile is not visible for tagging, which prevents third-party tools as Planable, from tagging them.
If you have the possibility to contact the person, you can ask them to adjust this setting. Here's how they can enable it:
1) Access the LinkedIn Profile Visibility Settings.
2) Toggle on the Off-LinkedIn Visibility to make the profile visible for tagging.
3. Enabling the Public Profile Visibility on LinkedIn
The Public Profile Visibility setting could be turned off.
If you have the possibility to contact the person, you can ask them to adjust this setting. Here's how they can enable it:
1) Access the Public profile settings.
2) Toggle on the "Your profile's public visibility" option on the right-hand side.
3) And select the "Public" checkbox to ensure their profile is fully visible.
4. Enabling the Headline in LinkedIn Public profile & URL Settings
The person you’re trying to tag might have the Headline option in their LinkedIn Profile Visibility Settings deactivated. When this setting is turned off, it prevents third-party tools from tagging their profile.
If you have the possibility to contact the person, you can ask them to adjust this setting. Here's how they can enable it:
1) Access the LinkedIn Public profile & URL Settings.
2) Locate the Headline option in the settings menu and toggle it on.
5. Setting LinkedIn Language Settings to English
In addition to visibility settings, another factor that might prevent you from tagging a personal LinkedIn profile is their profile's language setting. If their profile is not set to English, third-party tools may not be able to tag them.
If you have the possibility to contact the person, you can ask them to adjust this setting. Here's how they can enable it:
1) Access the LinkedIn Language Preferences.
2) Select English as the language for their LinkedIn profile.
