How to import LinkedIn posts and comments by pasting the post URL

Direct answer

Yes. On LinkedIn open the post, click Send, then Copy link to post. In Provoon Import choose LinkedIn, paste the URL, pick Import post or Import comments, and click Get LinkedIn post or Get LinkedIn comments. Click Add on each item you want - nothing goes public until you approve it and place it on your Wall of Fame or embed.

Why paste a LinkedIn post URL

LinkedIn wins and milestone threads already hold buyer language - comments that name outcomes, not just Congrats emojis. Screenshotting into Canva is slow and easy to fake. Provoon takes the same linkedin.com/posts/... link you copy from Send, loads the post or its comments, and lets you Add only the lines worth showing next to pricing or a Wall of Fame.

How to import LinkedIn into Provoon

  1. 1

    Copy the LinkedIn post link

    Open the post on LinkedIn. Under the post click Send (paper plane). In the Send modal, click Copy link to post at the bottom left. That gives you a stable linkedin.com/posts/... URL - better than sharing only in chat.

    Paste it in Provoon and choose post or comments

    In your wall, open Import, choose LinkedIn, stay on Import from URL, and paste into LinkedIn post URL. Choose Import post for the main update, or Import comments for replies under it. Then click Get LinkedIn post or Get LinkedIn comments. Business plan fetches up to 100 comments per run.

    Click Add on each quote you want

    Provoon lists the post or comments with name, date, and text. Click Add on specific, useful lines - skip empty congratulations. You can return later for more. Selective Add beats dumping every reply onto your site.

    Approve and show it on your Wall of Fame

    Open Collected if the story needs approval, then include it in Curate / Wall of Fame or an embed. Imports and fresh collection submissions share one inbox, so LinkedIn quotes can sit next to Google, Trustpilot, or video you recorded in Provoon.

What gets saved from LinkedIn

Each Add stores the author name, comment or post text, date when available, a LinkedIn source badge, and the post URL as the linked source. Edit typos carefully without changing meaning. Only republish content you have the right to show - ask when consent is unclear.

Practical tips

  • You have two options on the Import screen: Import post (the update itself) or Import comments (replies under it).
  • Use Copy link to post from the Send modal - not a truncated preview or a company page URL without a specific post.
  • Prefer threads with specific buyer comments over posts that only collect Congrats replies.
  • Nothing auto-publishes. Add, approve, then place proof near decisions (pricing, booking, CTA).
  • If LinkedIn visibility or consent feels unclear for a comment, leave it out or ask again with a Provoon collection link.

FAQ

What are the two LinkedIn import options?

Import post brings the main LinkedIn update into your library. Import comments fetches replies under that post so you can Add only the ones you want. Pick one path per fetch - you can run the other later with the same link.

Do I need a LinkedIn API key or developer app?

No. Paste a public LinkedIn post URL. Provoon does not ask you to build a LinkedIn app.

How do I copy the right LinkedIn URL?

Open the post, click Send, then Copy link to post. You want a linkedin.com/posts/... (or activity) link for that specific post - not a profile or company feed URL alone.

Should I import the post or the comments?

Import post when the update itself is the testimonial. Import comments when replies under a win, launch, or case-study post carry the quotes you want on your Wall of Fame.

Do imported LinkedIn items publish automatically?

No. Click Add on the ones you want, then approve and place them on your Wall of Fame or embed like any other story.

Will new LinkedIn comments sync by themselves later?

Treat import as a curated pull, not a live mirror. When you want fresh comments, paste the same post URL again and Add the new ones.
