08FAQFAQ
Before connecting, B2B teams usually ask about profiles, API access, several Pages, other AI tools, ads and Data Studio. The last three answers help when numbers differ from Page analytics, a Page doesn't show up or a question returns an error.
Can I connect my profile, messages or Sales Navigator?
Porter's LinkedIn connector is built for Company Pages, so Claude reads your Page posts, followers, demographics and visitors. Your personal profile, messages and Sales Navigator stay private and outside Porter. For job search or outreach, pair Porter with a tool made for that.
Do I need LinkedIn API access or a developer app?
No, because you just sign in with LinkedIn in Porter. Porter's LinkedIn app handles the API side, so Claude reads the Page through Porter. LinkedIn's Community Management API carries Company Page data and is open only to apps LinkedIn approves, so building your own app means applying for access.
Can I connect several LinkedIn Company Pages, for example as an agency?
Yes. Tick every Company Page Claude should read when you connect LinkedIn in Porter, and Claude answers for each client Page in the same chat. Porter bills per data source account, so each Page counts as one account on a paid plan.
Does Porter's LinkedIn connector work in Claude Code and ChatGPT?
Yes, the LinkedIn connector uses the same URL for Claude Code and ChatGPT, so the same Porter account and Pages work in each. Porter's Claude tutorial has the Claude Code steps, while the guide to connect LinkedIn Pages to ChatGPT covers ChatGPT.
Does the LinkedIn Pages connector include LinkedIn Ads data?
LinkedIn Ads results come through Porter's own LinkedIn Ads connector, while the LinkedIn Pages connector covers organic Company Page data. Add the LinkedIn Ads connector for Claude with the same URL, so organic and paid numbers share one chat and Claude compares them side by side.
Can I use the same LinkedIn connection for Looker Studio reports?
Yes, one LinkedIn sign-in in Porter serves both Claude and your Data Studio reports, so you don't reconnect the Page. In Data Studio, add the LinkedIn Pages connector for Data Studio, choose the same Porter account, then pick the Page.
Troubleshooting
Why don't Claude's numbers match LinkedIn Page analytics?
Claude's LinkedIn Page numbers can differ from Page analytics for a few known reasons, according to Porter's guide on how to fix LinkedIn Pages discrepancies. Post numbers are lifetime totals, so adding a post field to a question turns Page totals into post sums. Total Followers is today's count, and ratios come as fractions, so 0.0892 means 8.92%.
Why does Claude find no LinkedIn Pages?
Ask a Page admin for an admin role, then reconnect LinkedIn in Porter and tick the Page. Claude usually finds no Pages when the member who signed in has no admin role on the Page, or the LinkedIn authorization wasn't finished. Porter's help article on LinkedIn Pages not showing when you connect also covers the same fix.
Why does Claude get an error on a LinkedIn question?
Split the question in two, or reconnect LinkedIn in Porter, then ask again. Claude usually errors when one question mixes fields LinkedIn reports differently, such as lifetime and period fields, or Total Followers with New Followers. An expired LinkedIn sign-in also causes errors.
