How this automation works

Automatically post to your LinkedIn profile by simply sending an email to your IFTTT address. This runs whenever you send an email to trigger@applet.ifttt.com, using your message body as the post text. Perfect for quickly sharing ideas or updates across platforms without opening LinkedIn. Customize the message to fit your tone. Note: This requires installation of the IFTTT app.
