Select learners who receive activation notification on Linkedin.com

Last updated: 4 months ago

Admins at profile-required and profile-optional organizations can choose to send their learners Notifications on LinkedIn.com to activate their LinkedIn Learning accounts.

Eligible learners will receive a notification to activate their Learning accounts on LinkedIn.com.

How LinkedIn sends activation notifications

LinkedIn sends activation notifications via a couple of different methods:

  • If your organization has unlimited licenses, then any LinkedIn member with your company listed as the current employer would get a notification.
  • If you have limited licenses, your learners will get a notification if they have the exact email address in their profile matched to the address that was uploaded. 
    • For example, if you uploaded jdoe@linkedin.com and your profile has jdoe@linkedin.com as your contact email, you will get a notification, OR
    • Based on relevance matches, there's a single LinkedIn profile with a first and last name match at that company. For example, if there is only one profile for "Jane Doe" with LinkedIn as a current employer, she will get a notification. If there are multiple profiles for "Jane Doe" currently at LinkedIn, then she would not receive a notification.
