Post to LinkedIn from OpenClaw

OpenClaw can write and schedule LinkedIn posts through the Postiz skill, for both personal profiles and company pages. You message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack, describe the update, and it calls the Postiz CLI to attach images, turn multiple images into a carousel, and schedule the post.

Scheduled & Proactive

openclaw automations for recurring content

OpenClaw automations run on cron expressions in an isolated session and can announce results to a chat channel. Create one that drafts and schedules your LinkedIn content through Postiz, so nothing waits on a manual trigger.

openclaw automations (cron)

openclaw automations create "0 9 * * 1-5" \
  "Pick the newest article in ~/content/linkedin, write a LinkedIn post with a hook and three takeaways, and schedule it for 8am on the company page." \
  --name "LinkedIn daily post" \
  --session isolated \
  --announce --channel telegram \
  --to "<your chat id>"

# openclaw cron is an alias for the same command

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code, which has its own guide for posting to LinkedIn from Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your LinkedIn integration, uploads your images, creates a carousel if needed, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

> Create a LinkedIn carousel from my
  slide deck images, schedule for
  tomorrow morning

Claude: Done! Scheduled on LinkedIn for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

LinkedIn + Other Platforms

Schedule the same content to LinkedIn and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> Post "Excited to announce our new feature!" to
  LinkedIn and X tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on LinkedIn every weekday at 10am

OpenClaw: Done! Scheduled:
  - LinkedIn + X: tomorrow 9:00 AM
  - Daily tips on LinkedIn: Mon-Fri 10:00 AM

What can you ask OpenClaw to do on LinkedIn?

These are real messages you can send OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord. OpenClaw maps each one to the right Postiz command and LinkedIn settings.

Company page update

Send to OpenClaw

> Schedule this release note to our LinkedIn company page for Tuesday at 8am and attach the dashboard screenshot.

Image carousel

Send to OpenClaw

> Post these five slides to my LinkedIn profile as a carousel called "Q3 lessons" and schedule it for Thursday morning.

Repurpose a thread

Send to OpenClaw

> Take my X thread from yesterday, rewrite it as a single LinkedIn post, and schedule it for tomorrow at 9am.

LinkedIn rules OpenClaw has to follow

Postiz enforces these LinkedIn constraints when OpenClaw creates a post. Knowing them up front avoids a failed request.

✓LinkedIn posts are capped at 3,000 characters. OpenClaw should shorten longer drafts rather than splitting them, since LinkedIn has no native thread format.
✓Personal profiles and company pages are separate Postiz channels: __type is linkedin for a profile and linkedin-page for a page. Name the account in your message so OpenClaw picks the right one.
✓Carousels are built from multiple images with post_as_images_carousel set to true. Give the carousel a name, because LinkedIn shows carousel_name in its UI.
✓LinkedIn generates its own link preview from the first URL in the text. Attach an image if you want to control the visual instead.

OpenClaw and LinkedIn: frequently asked questions

How do I post to LinkedIn from OpenClaw?

Install the Postiz skill in OpenClaw, authenticate with postiz auth:login, and connect your LinkedIn profile or company page in Postiz. Then message OpenClaw with the post text and a time. It runs postiz posts:create for the LinkedIn channel and reports back when the post is scheduled.

Can OpenClaw post to a LinkedIn company page?

Yes. Connect the company page in Postiz as a LinkedIn Page channel. When you ask OpenClaw to post "to the company page", it selects the channel with __type linkedin-page instead of your personal profile. You can schedule to both in one request.

Can OpenClaw create a LinkedIn carousel?

Yes. Send OpenClaw several images and ask for a carousel. It uploads each image through Postiz, sets post_as_images_carousel to true, and passes a carousel_name. LinkedIn renders the images as a swipeable document post instead of a plain image gallery. Give it a carousel name up front.

Does OpenClaw need LinkedIn API access?

No. OpenClaw only runs the Postiz CLI. Postiz already holds the OAuth connection to LinkedIn, so you never create a LinkedIn developer app. Authenticate OpenClaw with postiz auth:login or a Postiz API key, and revoke access from Postiz whenever you want.

Can OpenClaw post to LinkedIn every weekday automatically?

Yes. Create an OpenClaw automation with a weekday cron expression and a prompt that drafts and schedules a LinkedIn post through Postiz. Postiz creates the post as a draft if you prefer to approve it from the calendar before it goes live.
