Setting it up

/app/links/new and pick LinkedIn from the type tiles.2
Pick a mode — Profile / Company / Post / Newsletter / Paste URL.

Where it earns its print run
- Business cards — pair with a vCard QR for "save contact + connect on LinkedIn."
- Trade-show booths + step-and-repeat — company page first, profile second.
- Speaker decks — last slide QR for follow-on connection requests.
- Sales-collateral PDFs — closes the loop between download and conversation.
Editing the destination later
Edit at any time from the link editor. Switch between your profile and a launch post during campaign weeks without reprinting the QR — the underlying short link stays the same.
