Hi Bojan,

This link is not working for me either for allowing me to add Client Testimonials from LinkedIn. This seems like a wide-spread issue. Can you assist? URL I attempted to use was in format: https://www.linkedin.com/in/personname. It was as requested and did not work.

Hi Bojan, 

 

thanks for the update but is there a workaround solution for now? are you guys able to manually whitelist / verify the linkedin urls? this is blocking me from creating testimonial requests which i need urgently to ensure my profile is well positioned before i send out my proposals 

 

Sincerely,

Sheng

I also have this same issue. I cannot add my client's linkedin profile, it's saying invalid linkedin profile whereas I provided a valid profile link. Kindly address this issue.

Hi all, 

 

I'm trying to invite a past client to give me a testimonial. She has a working linkedin profile but the text box on Upwork is showing invalid link. What am I doing wrong?

 

Here is the link: **Edited for community guidelines**

I am having the same problem. I can't ask for a quote because it keeps getting stuck at the Linkedin profile

Hi Sarah,

 

At this time, this feature is only available for users who have a LinkedIn account.

Hi,
are you saying we can't request Testamonials, unless the person has a LinkedIN account?  This is far from ideal if it is the case.  So many people and clients don't have LinkedIN accounts.

Looking forward to a prompt reply.

Kind regards,

Kerry

This is correct. You can only request a testimonial from clients who have an established LinkedIn profile

Hello,

 

 I faced same 'Invlaid linkedin Profile' error. It was fixed by typing in url, manually instead of pasting it in field. In fact the validation error vanishes when I type first part of url.

I hope it will help.

Regards,

I'm having the same issue here. I realized that when the linkedin link is from a user it works, but when it's from a company it doesn't. Please help.

Please try entering the link in one of the supported formats:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/company/CLIENTNAME 
https://www.linkedin.com/in/CLIENTNAME

Let us know if the issue persists?

I have the same problem. When entering the link to the Linkedin profile an error is shown. I've checked in different browsers and the result is the same. Clearing cache and cookies doesn't help either. Please contact me to help.

Could you please check if you're entering the link in the one of the supported formats listed below?


https://www.linkedin.com/in/company/CLNAME
https://www.linkedin.com/in/CLNAME
http://www.linkedin.com/in/company/CLNAME
http://www.linkedin.com/in/CLNAME


If you do and still experience the error, could you please send me a PM with the link you're trying to add so we can further troubleshoot?
