Hi Rakibul,

 

Thank you for sharing additional information. I see that you are using a company LinkedIn profile while submitting the Testimonial request. Could you please try with a personal LinkedIn profile for your client. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

Do clients have o have a Linkedin profile/account in order to request for them to provide feedback?

Hi Alisha,

 

Yes, they need to have a LinkedIn profile.

 

Thanks!

I am also receiving this error. I have tried copying with or without https:. I have tried copying from the top bar and from the client's contact info section. Nothing seems to work, unfortunately.

I have tried 2 different client's profiles and double-checked the URL upon receiving the error...

Any advice?

 

Thanks,

Mohsin
