Notifications in Slack & Microsoft Teams 🔔

A teammate shares a draft, you get a reminder to publish, or a member's post goes out - you can now hear about it where you and your team already spend (a lot of) time. 🙂

Setup is two clicks: go to Account settings - Notifications, press Connect Slack or Connect Teams, and pick which notifications go to which channel.

No more asking "did the post go out?" in a stand-up - or checking the tab yourself. Available on every plan.

Post previews for LinkedIn's new feed 👀

LinkedIn has a new feed. And it doesn't just look different - it includes (almost invisible changes) that can have a big impact.

The new preview algorithm works differently, and it cuts your post at a different point.

The text shown before "see more" is not the same as in the old feed, so a hook written for the old cut can now break mid-sentence.

We updated the preview to follow the new feed. You see exactly what your readers see before you publish.

Not sure which feed you have? The new one shows engagement counts next to the Like, Comment, and Repost buttons.

Note that you can still have an old feed on your profile. But the new one is dominant, and it's reaching everyone soon.

LinkedIn Premium button analytics 📊

LinkedIn Premium lets you add a custom button - Visit my website, Book an appointment, View my portfolio.

LinkedIn shows it on your posts too, right under your name.

Until today, those clicks were invisible or mixed in with regular link clicks.

Now they're a metric of their own: AuthoredUp tracks Premium button clicks separately, so you can see which posts actually drive people to click - in post statistics, post tables, comparisons, highlights, and the team leaderboard.

Premium button clicks are part of advanced post stats - here's how collection works → https://help.authoredup.com/articles/collect-advanced-post-stats

A steadier LinkedIn integration 🔄

LinkedIn changed how its post editor works, which broke publishing and activation for some users. This release fixes that, along with a huge set of data-quality issues and app improvements:

• Publishing and activation work again, and AuthoredUp now follows LinkedIn's editor changes more reliably.
• Posts no longer go out with stale or missing content when LinkedIn syncs your text with a delay.
• Reaction totals on post cards now match the detailed post statistics.
• Stats get attached to the correct post, profile, company, or group.
• Deleted posts no longer show up in dashboards and analytics.

For those using the API: Draft responses now include Markdown content and a version number for conflict-safe updates, and list endpoints paginate up to 1,000 records.

If activation, publishing, or stats collection failed for you recently, give it another try. And if anything still looks off, please let us know. 🙏

There's more coming. We'll keep you posted. 🔜

AuthoredUp MCP 🤖

You asked for a way to use your AI assistants with AuthoredUp: your stats, your drafts, your calendar. Now you have it.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI tool that supports MCP, and it can work directly with your AuthoredUp account. Ask it to analyze your hooks, identify topics your audience engages with the most, or write a draft together and push it straight into AuthoredUp, ready for scheduling and publishing. You can even set a reminder and fill up your calendar for the whole month in one sitting.

No more copy-pasting in either direction.

We've added full OAuth support, so you stay in control of your data and can cut the AI model off at any time. The MCP is available on every plan.

Building your own integration instead of using an AI assistant? Everything the MCP does is also in our API, which now covers drafts as well, with a markdown format built for LLMs (including mentions of personal and company pages).

Team Analytics & Leaderboard 📊

So far, all our analytics have focused on individual content performance. The new Team Analytics page shows how your employee advocacy program grows.

Check the leaderboard of your most successful and most dedicated advocates, cross-compare members and company pages, and calculate the ad-equivalent value of your advocacy program.

Along with it come cohorts. You can group profiles or company pages and track their performance altogether. You can even compare different cohorts.

One page now answers the questions you report on: who's performing, who needs a nudge, and what the program is worth.

Team Analytics and cohorts are visible to organization admins and managers.

Coauthor Beta v2 ✍

Coauthor is our AI writing assistant, built directly into the AuthoredUp editor. You write, it suggests, you decide what to keep.

Your feedback on the beta was clear: you wanted more control, and some voices didn't sound like you. V2 is our answer.

We've redesigned the voice system from the ground up. Train (or retrain) your voice on your own or saved posts, add your own instructions, and keep separate voices for different kinds of content. Works for profiles and company pages.

If you're part of beta v1, you'll be asked to retrain your voice so it runs on the new system.

The beta is open to everyone on a trial or paid plan. First-come, first-served.

Reworked data sync 🔄

For several months, we were working to fix the data collection process. And now, everything should work as usual.

Posts, connections, and followers update in AuthoredUp again as you see them while browsing LinkedIn.

If you've had issues with stale or missing data this year, give it another try. And if anything still looks off, please let us know. 🙏

There's more coming this summer. We'll keep you posted. 🔜
