How to Fix LinkedIn Page Connection Issues in Hubspot
When your LinkedIn company page disconnects from Hubspot, scheduled posts can fail and reporting may stop updating. This guide walks you through every fix, step-by-step, so you can quickly restore your LinkedIn page connection and keep your social media publishing on track.
Before You Start: Understand How Hubspot Connects to LinkedIn
The LinkedIn integration in Hubspot relies on your LinkedIn account permissions. If those permissions change, the connection between the two platforms can break, causing errors when you try to publish or monitor posts.
Typical signs of a connection problem include:
- Failed or stuck scheduled posts to a LinkedIn page
- Missing or outdated social metrics for LinkedIn
- Error messages when connecting a company page in the social tool
Most issues are resolved by checking roles, permissions, and reconnecting the integration from both LinkedIn and Hubspot.
Step 1: Verify Your LinkedIn Page Role for Hubspot
Your LinkedIn user must have the correct page role to connect and manage a company page in Hubspot. If your role is downgraded or removed, the connection can break without warning.
Check Your LinkedIn Page Admin Role
- Log in to your LinkedIn account in a browser.
- Go to your LinkedIn company page.
- Confirm that you are listed as a page admin with publishing permissions.
If you do not see admin access, contact an existing page admin and ask them to restore the required role. Without the correct role, you will not be able to connect the page inside Hubspot.
Step 2: Reconnect Your LinkedIn Account to Hubspot
When your LinkedIn credentials or permissions change, you may need to reconnect your personal LinkedIn account to Hubspot to restore access to pages.
Reconnect LinkedIn Inside Hubspot
- Log in to your Hubspot account.
- Navigate to your social settings (Settings > Marketing > Social).
- Locate your LinkedIn account in the list of connected networks.
- If you see an error or warning, select the option to reconnect or reauthorize.
- Follow the LinkedIn login prompts and approve all requested permissions.
After reconnection, return to the social tool in Hubspot and confirm that your LinkedIn company pages appear as publishable channels.
Step 3: Remove the LinkedIn Connection and Reconnect from Scratch
If a simple reconnect does not resolve the problem, fully removing the LinkedIn integration and adding it again often clears corrupted tokens or outdated access.
Disconnect the LinkedIn Account in Hubspot
- Open Hubspot and go to your social settings.
- Find the LinkedIn account that is causing issues.
- Use the option to disconnect or remove that LinkedIn account from Hubspot.
- Confirm the removal when prompted.
Add LinkedIn Back to Hubspot
- In the same social settings area, choose the option to connect a new account.
- Select LinkedIn as the network.
- Sign in with your LinkedIn credentials.
- Approve all requested permissions so Hubspot can access both your profile and any pages you manage.
- Once connected, select the correct LinkedIn company page to use in the social publishing tool.
After reconnecting, test publishing a simple post to verify that Hubspot can successfully send content to your LinkedIn page.
Step 4: Reset LinkedIn Permissions for Hubspot
Sometimes the connection appears active in Hubspot, but underlying permissions in LinkedIn are out of sync. Removing the app from LinkedIn and reconnecting it can fix hidden access problems.
Remove the Hubspot App from LinkedIn
- Sign in to LinkedIn on desktop.
- Go to your account settings and locate the section for permissions or business applications.
- Find the entry for Hubspot in your list of connected apps.
- Remove or revoke access for the Hubspot application.
Reconnect the App via Hubspot
- Return to your Hubspot social settings.
- Connect your LinkedIn account again, following the prompts.
- Grant all requested permissions when LinkedIn asks for approval.
This full permission reset ensures that LinkedIn grants fresh tokens so Hubspot can read and publish to your company page reliably.
Step 5: Confirm LinkedIn Page Visibility and Status
If your LinkedIn page is hidden, unpublished, or restricted, the social integration in Hubspot may not work as expected, even if your connection appears valid.
Check Page Status in LinkedIn
- Open your LinkedIn company page as an admin.
- Confirm the page is published and visible to visitors.
- Ensure there are no policy or compliance restrictions that could block posting.
Once the page is active and compliant, return to Hubspot and refresh the list of pages to make sure it appears correctly.
Step 6: Reconnect from the Hubspot Social Tool Interface
In some cases, you might see error banners or prompts directly inside the publishing area of the social tool. Address these from the main tool view to quickly restore functionality.
Use the In-Tool Prompts in Hubspot
- Navigate to Marketing > Social in Hubspot.
- Look for any warning messages near your LinkedIn accounts or pages.
- If prompted, click to reconnect, fix permissions, or update settings.
- Follow the steps until the warning messages disappear.
Next, schedule or publish a test post to confirm that the connection between Hubspot and LinkedIn is working without errors.
Step 7: When to Contact Hubspot or LinkedIn Support
If you have tried all connection steps and your LinkedIn page still will not connect or publish, you may need additional help from support.
Gather Information Before Contacting Support
- Screenshots of error messages in Hubspot and LinkedIn
- Confirmation of your LinkedIn page admin role
- The exact page URL you are trying to connect
- Recent changes made to LinkedIn roles, security settings, or company ownership
