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.
