Personal vs Brand posts
What it is
ProPresence has a global context switcher in the top bar. Everything you do is in one of two contexts:
- Personal — your own LinkedIn profile. Author = you.
- Brand — a LinkedIn company page belonging to an organization you manage. Author = the org.
The same article can be written once and pushed to either context. The plumbing underneath is completely different.
How they differ
| Personal | Brand | |
|---|---|---|
| Author | You | The organization |
| Tone of Voice used | Your personal ToV | The org’s ToV |
| Publishing method | Direct via your LinkedIn token | Via Make.com webhook → LinkedIn company page |
| Token expiry | 60 days, manual reconnect | None on ProPresence side; depends on your Make scenario |
scheduled_at behaviour |
Required for scheduling; defaults to 8 AM local | Must be omitted on first push. Setting it fires the webhook immediately. |
| Lexi autopilot | Personal Lexi cadence | Per-organization Lexi cadence; only fires if webhook is active |
| Badge on the post card | Blue Personal | Coloured org badge with logo |
How to switch context
- Click your avatar/org logo in the top bar to swap.
- Lexi auto-selects the active webhook organization when you switch into Brand mode.
- Most pages remember the context per-tab.
Why brand posts must be drafts first
Make.com scenarios fire on the post.scheduled event. The moment a brand post has scheduled_at set, the webhook is called and the post goes live on the company page.
There’s no “review then publish” round-trip in the LinkedIn API for company pages, so ProPresence treats scheduled_at as the explicit publish trigger for brand content. If you want a review step, build it into your Make.com scenario (e.g. route through a Slack approval before posting).
Common mistakes
- “My brand post went live before I edited it.” You set a schedule. For brand posts, leave
scheduled_atempty until the draft is final. - “Lexi isn’t posting for my brand.” The org doesn’t have an active Make.com webhook. Set one up under Organizations → Webhook.
- “Wrong tone on the brand post.” The org’s Tone of Voice is empty or wrong. Edit it under Organizations → Tone of Voice — it’s a separate ToV from your personal one.
