Prerequisites

The video below is a step-by-step walk-through using Microsoft Power Automate to send data from Excel to many groups on LinkedIn. The walkthrough shows how to make a Power Automate Flow that can post to both Public and Private groups. It also includes a quick way to ensure your posts can be different to not make LinkedIn mad about you spamming the same content.

The purpose of the video is to help reduce the burden and time of posting to many LinkedIn groups. Its intent is to help productivity and should not get used for nefarious purposes or for sending to hundreds of groups.

After you watch the video, be sure to check out the resources I've included at the end of the post.

Sharing my Flow

With the free version of Power Automate, you cannot share a Flow by sharing some file. That is only available when you have a bigger business or educational license and Power Automate Desktop is linked to the web version.

However, you can copy and paste. When you copy your whole flow, you can paste that into a text file. Here are the steps:

1. Open your Flow you want to copy

2. Use cntrl+A to select everything

3. Right Click on the flow and select Copy

4. Open NotePad and start a new Text Document

5. Use cntrl+V to paste the text

6. Save the Text Document

To use the text on a different computer:

1. Copy the text file to another system

2. Open the text file with NotePad

3. Use cntrl+A to copy all the text

4. Create a new Flow in Power Automate

5. In the Flow, Right Click and choose Paste

Here is a text file copy of what I did in the video. You're welcome! 😁
