I am having trouble adding a URL to the Linkedin command. I want it to essentially print the Linkedin logo, text that I want to be explicitly seen, and a URL that the user will be redirected to upon clicking it. Below is the current .cls file.
.cls file:
\newcommand{\linkedinsymbol}{\faLinkedin}
\newcommand{\printinfo}[2]{\mbox{\textcolor{accent}{\normalfont #1}\hspace{0.5em}#2\hspace{2em}}}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcommand{\linkedin}[1]{\printinfo{\linkedinsymbol}{#1}}
I tried turning the last line into the following:
\newcommand{\linkedin}[2]{\printinfo{\linkedinsymbol}{#1}}{\url{#2}}
However, upon doing so, I get the following errors:
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

Minimum Reproducible Example:

\newcommand{\linkedinsymbol}{\faLinkedin}

\newcommand{\weblinks}[3]{\mbox{\textcolor{accent}{\normalfont #1}\hspace{0.5em}{\href{#2}{#3}}\hspace{2em}}}
% \newcommand{\linkedin}[2]{\printinfo{\linkedinsymbol}{#1}{\url{#2}}}
\newcommand{\linkedin}[2]{\weblinks{\linkedinsymbol}{#1}{#2}}
\linkedin{http://linkedin.com/in/varunjain-me}{linkedin.com/in/varunjain}
\end{document}
