LinkedIn sharing
What the integration does
Connecting your LinkedIn account to Academy lets you pull work experience and education from it, and share finished certificates straight to your network.
Connect
- Open LinkedIn in the menu
- Click "Connect to LinkedIn"
- Approve access at LinkedIn
- You are returned to Academy with the account connected
Import profile content
- Click "Import from LinkedIn"
- Review the preview of what will be pulled in
- Choose what to import — work experience, education or both
- Confirm the import
Always review the result in your profile afterwards; imported entries can be edited as usual.
Share a certificate
- Open the certificate under Certificates
- Click "Share on LinkedIn"
- Add your own message if you want one
- Confirm the share
Disconnect
- Open LinkedIn in the menu
- Click "Disconnect"
Imported content stays in your profile after disconnecting.
Pitfalls
- Sharing and importing require a connected account — otherwise you are asked to connect first
- If you cancel the approval at LinkedIn, nothing is connected
- Academy pulls only what you approve, and never publishes without your confirmation
