How do I create a LinkedIn query for Webcare? (Settings)

The search queries described in this article are required to use the Webcare Module. For more extensive monitoring options, see the Media Monitor Module.

In this help article, we'll explain how to create a LinkedIn search query. We'll use the LinkedIn page of Spotler as an example. Where the explanation mentions 'spotler,' you should use the LinkedIn account name of your environment when creating a search query.

With LinkedIn, we are only permitted to collect data from linked LinkedIn accounts. So, if you don't see data from a particular page or group, it means we are not authorized to collect that data. Additionally, we are not allowed to collect data from personal LinkedIn accounts.

Please note! LinkedIn Direct Messages (LI DM's) are a new feature on LinkedIn, but currently, the LinkedIn API does not support this feature. Therefore, we cannot integrate it into Spotler.

Please note! It is not possible to load mentions in the LinkedIn environment. A mention is when you are tagged by another LinkedIn user. It is not allowed to load personal information from personal accounts into the OBI4wan environment, which is why mentions are not loaded.

  • Option 1: All posts made from the LinkedIn account and the responses to these posts.
    account:Spotler AND bronsoort:linkedin
    • Please note that searching for a LinkedIn account is case-sensitive.
  • Option 2: Only LinkedIn company updates (posted from a LinkedIn page).
    • Spotler AND posttype:"Company-update"
    • Option 3: Only LinkedIn comments (responses to posts).
      account:Spotler AND posttype:comment AND bronsoort:linkedin
