🍴A LinkedIn alert you don't want to ignore
Post review that comes to you
Most LinkedIn notifications are like junk mail.
“Your coworker played Zip. 🎉”
“You appeared in 83 searches.”
…Cool. Now what?
But LinkedIn finally rolled out a notification that matters.
Instead of digging through Analytics like you’re searching for buried treasure, LinkedIn now comes to you to let you know when a post is getting traction.
Here’s what you’ll see:
Alerts when your post drives profile views or followers
Updates at the 3- and 7-day marks so you can see if it still has legs
A direct link straight to that post’s analytics dashboard (this happens once you click the notification)
Here’s what it looks like:

Why this matters
Before, sifting through post analytics felt like a chore. Now LinkedIn is handing you mid-cycle feedback.
For creators, that’s gold because it means you can:
See ROI in real-time. Impressions, profile views, and new followers, delivered on a platter.
Double down faster. Iterate on hooks and topics that work.
Catch momentum early. Don’t wait until your weekly review to notice what’s working.
Finally, a portfolio that's auto-updating, and creates backups of your work.
Authory saves you hours with a portfolio that's always up-to-date, without you having to lift a finger.
Plus, Authory securely backs up all your articles, protecting you if the original site goes down.
Be ready to impress potential clients and employers, anytime.

When one of these alerts pops up in your Notifications tab, don’t just glance at the numbers.
Use it in two ways:
1. Ride the wave. Reply to or add a new comment to the post or send a DM to someone who left a thoughtful comment.
2. Repurpose it. Was it the hook, the format, or the topic that clicked? Take the winning piece, rework it, and schedule it for next month. That way, you’re not only squeezing more out of a single post, you’re building your next one. Here are four things to consider when repurposing a post.
