Outbound: turn signal into outreach
Every Buffer approval triggers a LinkedIn action that waits for your sign-off before going live. You stay in control across both platforms without switching between them.
Going the other way? LinkedIn to Buffer
The buffer linkedin integration on Rills is built for solopreneurs and small marketing teams who publish across multiple channels and want Buffer to drive LinkedIn activity without losing editorial control. When something happens in Buffer, such as a post being approved or scheduled, Rills proposes the matching LinkedIn action and holds it until you say go.
Rills runs on a propose-then-approve model. Every time a Buffer trigger fires, Rills queues the LinkedIn action and sends you a notification. You review and approve from your phone before anything posts, comments, or shares. Approvals are always free. You only pay when an action actually runs. The system also learns from the decisions you make, so your workflow gets smarter over time.
With buffer to linkedin automation, you can mirror approved Buffer posts directly to LinkedIn, add engagement comments after scheduling a Buffer post, check your LinkedIn profile before a multi-channel push, and pull share statistics right after a post goes live. If you want to connect buffer to linkedin without handing publishing decisions to an algorithm, Rills is built for exactly that.
When a Buffer post clears your approval queue, Rills proposes the same content as a new LinkedIn post for your review. Once you confirm, the post goes live on LinkedIn without any copy-paste work.
Build this workflowWhen a Buffer post is approved by the user, automatically create the same content as a LinkedIn post to synchronize social media publishing across platforms.
After scheduling a Buffer post, automatically add a comment to a related LinkedIn post to drive engagement and distribute the same message across formats.

Yes. When a Buffer post approval event fires, Rills proposes an identical LinkedIn post and waits for your confirmation before publishing. The pairing is pre-built in Rills, so you just choose the trigger and action and you are ready to go.
By default, every proposed LinkedIn action waits for your approval. This is intentional: LinkedIn has strict policies around automated posting, and your approval protects your account. You review each action on your phone, then tap to confirm or reject it before anything goes live.
The supported actions include creating a LinkedIn post, adding a comment to an existing post, fetching your LinkedIn profile info, and retrieving share statistics. Each action is proposed by Rills and only executes after you approve it from your phone.
No. Rills holds every proposed LinkedIn action until you actively approve it. If you miss a notification, the action stays queued and nothing posts without your confirmation. You will not return to find unexpected content published on your LinkedIn profile.
