As a practice lead, staying active on LinkedIn is crucial for promoting both yourself and your business. Many professionals dedicate time to post regularly or leverage scheduling functions to maintain a consistent online presence. However, when it comes to bulk scheduling posts over an extended period, LinkedIn lacks a native feature. Even the LinkedIn API falls short in this aspect, leaving you in need of a customized solution.

In my quest to efficiently manage my LinkedIn content, I decided to create a simple scheduler that allows me to plan my posts for the next two years. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the process of building a Power Automate Flow that meets this requirement.

Requirements

• Dynamic Message Creation: Ensure variation in posts to keep your content engaging.
• Bi-weekly Scheduling: Automate the process to post every two weeks.
• Maintain Control: Craft a solution that keeps you in the driver’s seat.

Building the Power Automate Flow

Step 1 Connect with LinkedIn

The first step involves creating a connection with LinkedIn using the standard free connector. Simply use your credentials to log in and establish the connection.

Step 2 Dynamic Message Creation

To add variety to your posts, leverage Power Automate’s functions. Utilize the rand function to dynamically generate messages, ensuring a mix of content in your posts.

Step 3 Bi-weekly Scheduling

Implement a scheduling mechanism within the flow to post every two weeks. This ensures a consistent presence on your LinkedIn profile.

Step 4 Stay in Control The entire solution is designed to keep you in control. By dynamically creating messages, scheduling bi-weekly posts, and leveraging Power Automate’s capabilities, you can confidently manage your LinkedIn content for the next two years.
