The B2B social media management platform announced the integration in a release distributed by [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/955522011/oktopost-brings-executive-and-employee-linkedin-mentions-into-its-social-inbox).\n\n## How the LinkedIn Delegation Integration Works\n\nThrough LinkedIn's permission-based delegation framework, individuals authorize approved partners such as [Oktopost](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00006rj/oktopost) to support specific activities on their behalf while keeping control over access to their profiles. The integration adds two capabilities for Oktopost customers: notifications when delegated executives or employees are mentioned in LinkedIn posts, and the ability for those individuals to tag their LinkedIn connections and followers directly through Oktopost.\n\nMentions appear in Oktopost's Social Inbox, where marketing and communications teams can assign them to colleagues for follow-up, and in its Social BI reporting alongside company page activity. The features require the individual to connect their LinkedIn profile to Oktopost. Oktopost describes the gap the integration addresses: teams can see activity on their company LinkedIn page but have far less visibility into mentions of the people who work for them.\n\n\"For years, enterprise social media management has focused on what companies publish. Yet some of the most valuable conversations about a business happen around the people who work there, and most marketing teams have had very little visibility into them,\" said Liad Guez, VP Product at Oktopost. \"Now, when someone connects their profile, those mentions reach the team that can act on them.\"\n\nDavid Vambré, Senior Director, Business Development, Consumer at [LinkedIn](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00009fq/linkedin), said the company's newest Member delegation capabilities give approved partners new ways to help customers manage their LinkedIn presence, and that LinkedIn is excited to see Oktopost among the first to put them to use.\n\n## Oktopost's Earlier Product Releases\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Oktopost launched the Oktopost Claude Plugin in May 2026, described as the first Claude Code Skill for B2B social media, enabling marketers to draft posts, run campaigns and pull analytics from the terminal via the Oktopost MCP server. In April 2026 the company launched the AI Agent Builder, a no-code visual workspace for creating custom AI agents that automate approvals, conversation triage and analytics workflows on the Oktopost platform. The same records list a LinkedIn partnership under which Oktopost is a certified LinkedIn Marketing Partner with LinkedIn-first platform design, supporting LinkedIn publishing, company page inbox management, LinkedIn Polls, first comment scheduling and LinkedIn Ads integration.\n\n## Oktopost's Path to the Delegation API\n\nOktopost launched Advocacy Agent in June 2026, an AI tool that drafts and formats starter posts for employees to edit and own, using personal style guides to shape drafts, EIN Presswire reported. In September 2026, EIN Presswire reported that Oktopost's study of 200 lawyers and marketers found 97% of law firms produce more valuable insight than they share with clients, with average lawyer participation in firm visibility at only 36%. Oktopost announced $20 million in minority investment from Expedition Growth Capital for its B2B social media marketing platform in October 2026, CX Today reported.\n\n## Availability of the New Features\n\nPersonal profile mention notifications and LinkedIn connection and follower tagging are rolling out to Oktopost customers.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
