Publish your first post
When you sign up with email, Schedule & Chill opens a short setup called Get started. It has four steps. You can skip any of them and finish later from the Finish setting up bar on your Dashboard.
Step 1 — Tell us about you
Answer two optional questions: Which sounds most like you? and How do you want to post? Click Continue, or Skip these.
Step 2 — Connect your account
- Click Connect LinkedIn.
- LinkedIn opens and asks you to allow Schedule & Chill to post for you. Allow it.
- You come back to the setup.
We never read your feed, your messages or your connections. Nothing is published until you write it and press publish yourself.
Want a different platform first? Click I'll connect later, then follow Connect a social channel.
Step 3 — Create your first post
- The text box already has a short starter post. Change it however you like.
- Optional: click Add photos, a video or a PDF.
- Click Publish now.
It usually takes a few seconds. Stay on the page while it says Publishing to LinkedIn….
Prefer to post later? Click Schedule it for later instead. This opens the full composer, where you can pick a date and time. First set your time zone — see Profile and time zone.
You can also switch to Use my AI tool to create the post from Claude, ChatGPT or another AI tool. See Connect your AI tool.
Step 4 — You're live
You see That's live on LinkedIn and a View your post on LinkedIn link. Click Go to my dashboard to finish.
If the post doesn't go out
You see That post didn't go out. Your text is safe and nothing was posted. The red box shows what LinkedIn said.
- Click Try again, or
- Click Check my connection and reconnect LinkedIn.
