Set up a connector to archive LinkedIn data

Use a connector to import and archive data from LinkedIn Company pages. After you set up and configure a connector, it connects to the account for the specific LinkedIn Company page once every 24 hours. The connector converts the messages posted to the Company page to an email message, and then imports those items to a mailbox in Microsoft 365.

After the LinkedIn Company page data is stored in a mailbox, you can apply Microsoft Purview features such as Litigation Hold, Content Search, In-Place Archiving, Auditing, and Microsoft 365 retention policies to LinkedIn data. For example, you can search for these items using Content Search or associate the storage mailbox with a custodian in a Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium) case. Creating a connector to import and archive LinkedIn data in Microsoft 365 can help your organization stay compliant with government and regulatory policies.

Before you set up a connector

Create a LinkedIn connector

Select the appropriate tab for the portal you're using. To learn more about the Microsoft Purview portal, see Microsoft Purview portal. To learn more about the Compliance portal, see Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

  1. Sign into the Microsoft Purview portal.
  2. Select Settings > Data connectors.
  3. Select My connectors, then select Add connector.
  4. From the list, choose LinkedIn company pages.
  5. On the Terms of service page, select Accept.
  6. On the Sign in with LinkedIn page, select Sign in with LinkedIn.
  7. On the LinkedIn sign in page, enter the email address (or phone number) and password for the LinkedIn account associated with the company page that you want to archive, and then select Sign in. A wizard page is displayed with a list of all LinkedIn Company Pages associated with the account that you signed in to. A connector can only be configured for one company page. If your organization has multiple LinkedIn Company Pages, you have to create a connector for each one.

  9. On the Choose storage location page, select in the box, select the email address of a Microsoft 365 mailbox that the LinkedIn items will be imported to, and then select Next. Items are imported to the inbox folder in this mailbox. The mailbox used must have an Exchange Online Plan 1 or Plan 2 license.
  10. Select Next to review the connector settings and then select Finish to complete the connector setup.
