How this automation works
Share Buffer posts to LinkedIn automatically. This Applet runs whenever a scheduled post is published from your Buffer account and shares the post text and link to your LinkedIn profile. It's ideal for cross-posting marketing updates, company news, or blog links so your LinkedIn audience sees the same content as on Buffer.
