    • App name - Enter a name that your website visitors will recognize.
    • LinkedIn Page - The LinkedIn page you want associated with the app. If you don’t have a Linkedin Page for your organization, you’ll need to create one. ::: note Note: If you run into the error: “Please input a valid LinkedIn Page URL or type to search by company”, append your page URL with /about/. :::
    • App logo - Upload a logo visitors will recognize when authorizing the app.
  3. Check the legal agreement and then select Create app.
    Required: Make sure you verify the app before continuing.
  4. Go to the Products tab and select Share on LinkedIn and Sign In with Linkedin. This will add the permissions needed for the app to use social login..
