    We are aware of an issue affecting users attempting to connect or reconnect LinkedIn accounts on Hootsuite. LinkedIn is currently experiencing internal API instability that is impacting the profile information endpoint used during the authorization process. Some authentication and re-authentication attempts for LinkedIn Profiles and LinkedIn Company Pages may fail as a result. This issue originates on LinkedIn's side. We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your kind patience and understanding.
