For images, including GIFs, be sure to add appropriate alt text. This descriptive text is used by screen readers to assist those who are unable to see the image. Alt text is also helpful for search optimization.
To add alt text, choose the specific LinkedIn account from the channel selection bar. Scroll down to the image section and add alt text for each image. This must be repeated for each individual image and account. The alt text fields will not appear when the global “all accounts” option is selected because alt text is not available on all channels via Sprinklr. This is due to API restrictions.
To tag a page, type @ and then begin typing the LinkedIn company account name. Choose the name from the drop-down list of potential matches that appears, then continue typing the message.
Click the Emoji Picker icon to insert an emoji in the message.
