Hiveku’s social media tools let you schedule, approve, and track posts without leaving your project. LinkedIn is supported today, with more platforms on the way.
Currently supports LinkedIn (personal profiles and organization pages). Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram are in active development.

​
Connect a Social Account

1

Open the Social tab

Go to Marketing > Social > Accounts.
2

Connect LinkedIn

Click Connect Account, choose LinkedIn, and authorize Hiveku. LinkedIn asks which permissions to grant — accept the defaults to enable posting and analytics.After the OAuth flow, your personal profile is automatically connected.
3

Add organization pages (optional)

If you manage a company page or two, click Add Organization on the LinkedIn account and pick the pages you want to post as.
You must be an admin of the LinkedIn organization for it to appear in the list.

​
Create and Schedule a Post

1

Open the Content Calendar

Go to Marketing > Social > Calendar. Switch between month, week, and day views in the top right.
2

Pick a date and time

Click any slot on the calendar, or click New Post in the top bar.
3

Write the post

Fill in:
  • Content — the post body (with a live character count)
  • Accounts — which profile or organization pages to publish to
  • Media — attach images or video
  • Publish time — when to go live
4

Save

Click Schedule. The post is queued — Hiveku publishes it automatically at the time you set.
Drag a scheduled post to a new slot in the calendar to reschedule it. Hold Shift while dragging to duplicate.

​
Approval Workflows (Optional)

If you want a second set of eyes before posts go live, turn on approvals.
1

Enable approvals

In Marketing > Social > Settings, toggle Require approval before publishing.
2

Submit for review

When a post is ready, click Submit for Approval instead of Schedule.
3

Reviewer approves or rejects

Teammates with the right role see pending posts in their inbox, leave comments, and approve or reject.

​
Content Pillars

Keep your posting on-brand by defining recurring themes. Go to Marketing > Social > Pillars and add pillars like Customer Stories, Product Updates, or Industry Insights. When composing a post, tag it with a pillar — the analytics view breaks down performance per pillar so you can double down on what works.

​
Analytics

Go to Marketing > Social > Analytics to see:
  • Engagement — likes, comments, shares, reactions
  • Reach and impressions — how many people saw each post
  • Follower growth — new followers over time
  • Per-post breakdown — which posts drove the most activity
  • Best time to post — auto-detected from your audience’s activity patterns

​
Verifying It Works

After a scheduled post fires, check the live social channel (e.g., LinkedIn) to confirm it published with the right content and media. The post also flips from Scheduled to Published in the calendar.

​
Troubleshooting

Usually means the account token expired. Go to Marketing > Social > Accounts, click the red indicator, and reconnect. Then retry the failed post.Also check LinkedIn’s API rate limits — you can hit them if publishing many posts in a short window.
Open the post, change the target account in the Accounts field, and save. As long as it’s still scheduled, the update takes effect before publish time.
LinkedIn only shows pages where you have admin access. Ask whoever owns the page to add you as an admin, then click Refresh on the account in Hiveku.
LinkedIn’s analytics API lags by up to 24 hours. Give it a day before assuming something’s broken.
