LinkedIn

An installation administrator first configures a LinkedIn OAuth application. Connecting a personal profile and connecting an organization page are distinct operations; a working member connection does not grant organization access.

Configure the applicationCopy Anchor Link

Create or use your LinkedIn developer application. Enable the products and permissions appropriate to your intended destination. In the application's OAuth configuration, register this callback using your Postdot API origin:

https://postbot.example/api/oauth/linkedin/callback

In Postdot's OAuth applications, save the LinkedIn Client ID and Client secret, activate the application and make it the default if appropriate. Keep the configured origin and registered callback identical to the deployment you use.

The implemented member flow requests openid, profile and w_member_social. The organization flow requests openid, profile, w_organization_social and rw_organization_admin. Availability depends on LinkedIn's product access and the authorizing account's organization permissions; entering these scope names in Postdot cannot grant access to a product your developer app does not have.

Connect the destinationCopy Anchor Link

Open the LinkedIn channel in Channels. Connect your member profile, or choose Connect a LinkedIn page for an organization destination. Select the configured OAuth application when offered, authorize with the intended LinkedIn account and check the destination shown when you return.

For a page, use its numeric organization ID when Studio asks for the identifier, not its public URL or an urn: value. The authorizing account must have the required page access; Postdot verifies the requested destination with LinkedIn.

If authorization or delivery failsCopy Anchor Link

Check the exact callback, enabled app products, granted scopes and intended member/page destination. If the app configuration changed after a connection was created, authorize again. A provider refusal or expired authorization does not mean that retrying the same callback will help.

Start with an unscheduled text draft. Only schedule after reviewing the account, content and media requirements. See LinkedIn's Share on LinkedIn guide for member publishing; organization access has separate requirements.
