💼 How to Connect LinkedIn

Updated over a week ago

🔥 Quick Summary

The LinkedIn connection acts as a Bridge between your business and your professional network.

  • Nas.io is your office (where payments and products live).

  • LinkedIn is your conference room (where professional networking happens).

  • The Integration is simply the signpost that points paying members to your group.

It adds a "Join Chat" button to the member portal that redirects users to your LinkedIn Group.

✅ What it DOES

Think of this connection as a shortcut, not a robot.

  • Direct Traffic: It gives your members a clear "Go Here" button immediately after they purchase.

  • Keeps Platforms Distinct: It does not merge your databases. Your monetization stays in Nas.io, and your networking stays in LinkedIn.

  • Zero Interference: It does not change your group settings, post on your behalf, or manage your member list.

This works well for creators who already:

  • Have an active LinkedIn Group.

  • Focus on career growth, business networking, or industry trends.

  • Don’t want to force professional members onto a casual chat app like WhatsApp.

❌ What It Does NOT Do

Important: This is a Redirection integration, not an API automation.

  • Does NOT Auto-Add: When a member pays on Nas.io, they are redirected to LinkedIn to request access. You (or your moderators) must manually approve them on LinkedIn.

  • Does NOT Auto-Remove: If a member cancels their subscription, they are NOT automatically removed from the LinkedIn Group. You must audit your member list manually.

⚠️ Note on Automation: Please be aware that the lack of member management feature is due to API restrictions imposed by LinkedIn, not a limitation of Nas.io. Most social platforms restrict third-party tools from removing members to protect user privacy.

⚙️ How to Connect

Prerequisite: You must be an Owner or Manager of the LinkedIn Group to get the right link.

  1. Get Your Coordinates: Go to your LinkedIn Group and copy the URL from your browser address bar (e.g., linkedin.com/groups/12345).

  2. Go to Settings: Log in to your Nas.io Portal and navigate to Settings → Chat.

  3. Connect: Click Connect LinkedIn Group.

  4. Paste the Link: Paste your group URL and click Connect.

That’s it! The bridge is built. Your members will now see a "Join Chat" button in their portal.

Here are a few other messaging connections that you can explore:

📝 In Summary

Before you connect, remember these three rules of the Bridge:

  1. It acts as a Shortcut: It provides a "Join Chat" button that redirects members to your LinkedIn Group URL.

  2. Management is Manual: You must still approve new members and remove cancelled ones directly on LinkedIn.

  3. Engagement is Local: You will continue to run your professional discussions inside LinkedIn, just as you do now.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Q: What does the Nas.io + LinkedIn integration do?
    ​A: It lets you connect your LinkedIn Group to Nas.io so you can use Nas.io to sell products, run events, and manage payments, while keeping professional discussions inside LinkedIn.

  2. Q: Can I post to my LinkedIn Group from the Nas.io dashboard?
    ​A: No. You’ll still post and engage in your LinkedIn Group directly on LinkedIn.

  3. Q: Does Nas.io automatically add or remove members from my LinkedIn Group?
    ​A: No. LinkedIn doesn’t allow automatic access control for groups via this integration. Member management stays manual.

  4. Q: Can I sell courses, challenges, or memberships to my LinkedIn community using Nas.io?
    ​A: Yes. You create and sell your products on Nas.io, then share the links in your LinkedIn Group.

  5. Q: Do I need to be an owner of the LinkedIn Group?
    ​A: Yes. You should be an owner or manager of the LinkedIn Group to ensure you can approve the members Nas.io sends your way.

  6. Q: Is there a Nas.io bot for LinkedIn?
    ​A: No. LinkedIn does not support bots for group access or role management.

  7. Q: Will this integration change how my members use LinkedIn?
    ​A: No. Members continue using LinkedIn as usual. Nas.io runs in the background for monetization and content access.

  8. Q: Can I disconnect the LinkedIn integration later?
    ​A: Yes. You can disconnect the integration at any time from your Nas.io settings.

  9. Q: Can I link a LinkedIn Company Page instead of a Group?
    ​A: While possible, the "Join Chat" button is designed for Groups where members can talk to each other. Linking a Company Page might confuse members expecting a community discussion.

  10. Q: Does Nas.io track my LinkedIn engagement?
    ​A: No. Nas.io cannot see posts, likes, or comments inside LinkedIn. We only track how many members clicked the "Join Chat" button from the Nas.io portal.
