What you can post

​
LinkedIn’s limits

​
PDF carousels

LinkedIn’s document posts appear as a swipeable carousel. In Ocoya, add at least two images and give the carousel a title between 5 and 50 characters. A one-image carousel is refused with:
LinkedIn PDF carousel requires at least 2 images

​
Polls and articles

LinkedIn does not allow polls or long-form articles to be created through its API, so they cannot be scheduled from Ocoya or any other tool. Create those directly on LinkedIn.

​
Common problems

“My carousel was rejected.” It had fewer than 2 images, or the title was outside 5–50 characters. “I can’t schedule a poll.” Not supported by LinkedIn’s API — see above. “LinkedIn disconnected.” LinkedIn access expires periodically. See Reconnect a channel.
