Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to your LinkedIn account. When you start the connection process, you are redirected to a secure LinkedIn login page where you grant specific permissions to Ceven. LinkedIn then provides a secure token that allows us to act on your behalf without ever seeing or storing your password. This token is encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time through your LinkedIn account settings under the Authorized Applications section. Once revoked, Ceven immediately loses access to your account and cannot perform any further actions until you reauthorize the connection manually.
Yes, Ceven can automate posts through the LinkedIn API. You can set up workflows where a specific trigger, such as a new blog post on your website or a status change in your CRM, tells the agent to draft and publish a post. You can choose to have these posts go live immediately or route them through an approval step where a human must click sign off before the content is pushed to the platform. This ensures your professional brand remains polished while removing the manual effort of copying and pasting links between your browser tabs.
LinkedIn imposes strict rate limits on their API to prevent spam and maintain platform quality. If a workflow attempts to post too frequently or perform too many profile searches in a short window, LinkedIn will return a rate limit error. Ceven handles this by implementing an automatic retry logic with exponential backoff, meaning the agent will wait a few minutes before trying again. We recommend spacing out your automated updates to avoid hitting these ceilings, especially for accounts that are not yet verified or have low activity levels on the platform.
Ceven can manage any company page where the authenticated user has the required administrative permissions. When you connect your account, the agent queries your available roles to see which organizations you can post for. You can then build workflows that target different pages based on the content type or the target audience. For example, you can route product updates to your main corporate page while sending culture and hiring updates to a separate employer brand page, all managed from a single Ceven workflow without needing separate logins.
Ceven does not create a permanent database of your entire professional network. Instead, it uses a just in time access model. When a workflow needs to find a specific person or company, it queries the LinkedIn API and uses that data to complete the task. While we may cache some basic profile information for a short period to improve performance and reduce API calls, we do not scrape your connections list for secondary purposes. Your data is used strictly to execute the workflows you have designed and authorized within the platform.
Currently, the LinkedIn API provides limited support for automated commenting compared to posting. While Ceven can monitor for mentions and notify you when a comment is made, the ability to programmatically reply depends on the specific API permissions granted to the app by LinkedIn. Most users use Ceven to pull the comment into a Slack channel or CRM record so a human can craft a personalized response. This prevents the brand risk associated with AI generated replies in a professional context where nuance and personal touch are highly valued.
Ceven can assist with lead discovery by using the search actions to find profiles or companies that match your ideal customer profile. You can build a workflow that searches for professionals with specific titles in a certain industry and then pushes those names into a Google Sheet or Salesforce for your sales team to review. However, LinkedIn prohibits automated connection requests or mass messaging through their API to prevent spam. Ceven follows these rules strictly, meaning the agent can find the leads for you, but the actual outreach must be done manually.
LinkedIn tokens have a set expiration date. When a token expires, Ceven uses a refresh token to automatically request a new one without requiring you to log in again. This happens silently in the background to ensure your scheduled posts and monitoring workflows continue to run without interruption. In rare cases, such as when you change your LinkedIn password or manually revoke access, the refresh token will also become invalid. In those instances, you will receive a notification from Ceven asking you to reconnect your account to restore the workflow automation.
