How to Schedule Posts on LinkedIn: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Can You Schedule Posts on LinkedIn? Yes, LinkedIn allows you to schedule posts in bulk. This feature is available on both mobile and desktop versions.

When you try to schedule unsupported post types like events, jobs, or services, you’ll see an error message prompting you to remove these types to schedule successfully.

  In the “Schedule post” window, select a date and time for your post. You can choose a time between 10 minutes and 3 months in advance, rounded to the nearest interval. Additionally, you can enter the exact time instead of using the dropdown options.
  Note: The scheduled time will be standardized in UTC based on your device’s time zone settings.
• Step 5:
  Click “Next” to review the scheduled date and time above your post.
• Step 6:
  Click “Schedule.” A confirmation pop-up will appear at the bottom left of the page.
