Creating LinkedIn Polls in Social Planner

What You Can Do

You can now create and publish LinkedIn Polls directly from the Social Planner tool in your CRM. This feature allows you to design interactive polls without leaving your dashboard.

Supported Features

When creating a LinkedIn Poll in Social Planner, you can:

  • Write a poll question with a limit of 140 characters
  • Add between two and four answer options, each up to 30 characters long
  • Set the poll to run for 1, 3, 7, or 14 days
  • Preview the poll before it goes live

Workflow Compatibility

LinkedIn Polls can be used in the following Social Planner workflows:

  • Instant publishing
  • Scheduled posts
  • Recurring posts
  • Category Queue
  • CSV Bulk Upload
  • Drafts

Important Limitations

Polls on LinkedIn cannot include images, videos, PDFs, or any other media attachments. If you are creating content for multiple social platforms, you can still add media to variants intended for non-LinkedIn networks. However, if media is attached to a LinkedIn post variant, the poll will not be published.
