There is an issue in Video 1 that is important: If you have already connected your LinkedIn to a LinkedIn Group user, you cannot connect it to another (we will update when this gets fixed). If you try to connect it to another, you will get an error message and be stuck on the LinkedIn Connection screen (as shown in video)
1) Log into your RFS Account or (if you're already logged in) go to the dashboard
2) Click on your icon in the top right corner. From the menu select 'LinkedIn Group'
3)Click on 'Create LinkedIn Group User' in the top right corner
Because this will be your first time creating an LinkedIn Group user, you should only have the green 'Create LinkedIn Group' on screen
4) Name your group user and click create
5) After the user is created, click on the green icon in the top right corner of the user account (shown here circled in red)
6) You will be redirected to a different RFS account which has been created for your LinkedIn Group user. Accept the terms and conditions
7) A popup will appear as you begin onboarding. Click next
8) Click on 'Connect' to connect your LinkedIn
9) You will be redirected to a LinkedIn login page. Sign into your LinkedIn account
10) Once your LinkedIn is connected, it is time to choose your categories! After choosing your categories, click 'Next'
11) Choose the days that you would like autopilot to post for you!
12) Your Autopilot is activated! Click on 'Start Tour' to be given the onboarding tour for your LinkedIn Group user
13) When your tour has finished, you will get this popup. Enjoy your LinkedIn Group user!
Important Note:
LinkedIn Group user password: change the password for the LinkedIn Group user after the parent account password expires.
- When a LinkedIn Group user is created it takes on the password from the Parent user creating it (including the expiration date)
- When passwords expire it happens on both accounts.
- Users will change the password on the parent account, BUT they still need to log into the LinkedIn Group user account and update the password there.
- There can be an issue when the user updates their password in their browser password manager and will therefore not remember the password for the LinkedIn Group user. In that case, the only option is password reset via the account manager.
