What is LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is a professional networking platform used by individuals and organizations to build brand presence, share updates, and engage audiences with organic content.
Connecting LinkedIn with Konnectify helps teams standardize publishing workflows—so posts can be created, updated, or removed from the same automation layer that manages your content and approvals.
This integration is designed for marketing automation scenarios, including posting text-only updates and publishing posts with a single uploaded media attachment (image, document, or video).

API & Authentication
Authentication: OAuth 2.0 authorization
Konnectify connects to LinkedIn using OAuth 2.0. During setup, you’ll be redirected to LinkedIn to grant access, and LinkedIn returns an authorization code that Konnectify exchanges for an access token. You can revoke access at any time from your LinkedIn account settings.
Requested permissions (scopes)
- w_member_social — create and manage member social posts
- profile — access basic profile information needed for posting context
- email — access email address (if required by your LinkedIn app configuration)
- openid — OpenID Connect identity scope
Important: rate limits & platform restrictions
LinkedIn enforces API access controls and rate limits that can vary by app, account type, and product eligibility. If a workflow starts failing with authorization or throttling errors, reduce frequency, add retries/backoff, or confirm that your LinkedIn developer app has the required permissions enabled.
How to connect LinkedIn to Konnectify
Prerequisites
- A LinkedIn account with permission to post
- A LinkedIn Developer App with a Client ID and Client Secret
- The correct OAuth redirect URL configured in your LinkedIn app (use the redirect shown in Konnectify during connection setup)
- Scopes enabled to allow posting (for example, w_member_social)
Add LinkedIn to a Workflow
- In Konnectify, create a new Workflow (or open an existing one).
- Click Add step and choose LinkedIn.
Authorize via OAuth 2.0
- Click Connect LinkedIn.
- Enter your LinkedIn App Client ID and Client Secret.
- Complete the LinkedIn consent screen to grant access.
Configure the Action
- Select the LinkedIn action you want to run (for example, Create Post).
- Map fields from prior steps (like content text, URLs, or base64 file data).
- Save your step configuration.
Posting safety tip
If you upload media via base64, ensure your workflow passes the correct MIME type and valid base64 content. For URL-based attachments, the URL must be publicly accessible (no login) so LinkedIn can fetch the file.
Test the Workflow
- Run a test with sample data.
- Confirm the post appears correctly on LinkedIn (text, media, and formatting).
Activate the Workflow
- Turn the Workflow on.
- Monitor early runs to ensure content and permissions behave as expected.

FAQ
How does Konnectify authenticate with LinkedIn?
Konnectify uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll authorize access on LinkedIn’s consent screen, and Konnectify will store the resulting tokens securely so it can run your workflow. You can revoke access from LinkedIn at any time.
Which LinkedIn plans/accounts are supported?
Support depends on your LinkedIn account permissions and your LinkedIn Developer App eligibility for the required scopes (notably posting permissions). If authorization succeeds and the scope is granted, posting actions should work for that authorized member context.
How do LinkedIn triggers work in Konnectify?
This connector currently does not provide LinkedIn triggers (no polling or webhooks). To automate LinkedIn posting, start your workflow with triggers from other apps (e.g., CMS, forms, spreadsheets) or a schedule trigger, then add LinkedIn actions.
How can I prevent duplicate posts?
Since there is no “upsert” action in this connector, handle deduping in your workflow logic: store the LinkedIn post ID returned by Create Post in your database, use conditional steps to check if a post already exists for a given campaign/item, and prefer Update Post when you have an existing post ID.
What happens if LinkedIn rate-limits my workflow?
If LinkedIn throttles requests, you may see transient failures. Mitigate by reducing concurrency, spacing scheduled runs, and using retry/backoff where appropriate. For high-volume publishing, consider batching upstream and distributing posts over time.
Can I connect multiple LinkedIn accounts?
Yes. Create multiple LinkedIn connections in Konnectify (one per authorized LinkedIn member/app combination) and select the appropriate connection in each workflow step.
What media types are supported for attachments and multi-image posts?
Create Post supports either text-only content or uploading one image/document/video (from a public URL or base64).
Multi Image Post creates an organic multi-image post and requires 2–20 images. Ensure image URLs are publicly accessible or that base64 data is valid and correctly encoded.
