Automatic Link Previews for LinkedIn Posts

Overview

We’ve just rolled out a shiny new feature that makes your LinkedIn posts look a whole lot nicer. Say hello to automatic link previews! Now, whenever you paste a URL into your post caption, Late will generate a snazzy link preview automatically.

What's New

Before this update, pasting a link into your LinkedIn post felt like sending a postcard without a stamp—kind of plain and definitely lacking pizzazz. But with our new link preview feature, you get a full preview complete with a thumbnail, page title, and description. It's like putting a fancy bow on a gift, making your posts more professional and clickable.

The best part? You don’t need to lift a finger for setup. Just paste your link, and Late handles the rest. Whether it's a blog, YouTube video, or even your latest landing page, as long as it has Open Graph metadata, you’re good to go. And don’t worry about when your post is scheduled; the preview will pop up when your content goes live. Who knew scheduling could be this glamorous?

Key Improvements
