This credential works with API version 202404.

Using Community Management OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• A Client Secret: Generated after you create a new developer app.

To enable OAuth, you need to create a new developer app{:target=_blank .external-link}.

Use these settings for your app:

• Enter a LinkedIn Company Page for LinkedIn Page. Refer to Associate an App with a LinkedIn Page{:target=_blank .external-link} for more guidance.
• Enable APIs for your app, including:
  • Share on LinkedIn
  • Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect

/// note | Posting from organization accounts To post as an organization, you need to put your app through LinkedIn's Community Management App Review{:target=_blank .external-link} process. ///

Refer to Getting Access to LinkedIn APIs{:target=_blank .external-link} for more information on scopes and permissions.

Using OAuth2

--8<-- "_snippets/integrations/builtin/credentials/cloud-oauth-button.md"

All users must select:

• Organization Support: If turned on, the credential requests permission to post as an organization using the w_organization_social scope.
  • To use this option, you must put your app through LinkedIn's Community Management App Review{:target=_blank .external-link} process.
• Legacy: If turned on, the credential uses legacy scopes for r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress instead of the newer profile and email scopes.

If you need to configure OAuth2 from scratch, create a new developer app{:target=_blank .external-link}.

Use these settings for your app:

• Enter a LinkedIn Company Page for LinkedIn Page. Refer to Associate an App with a LinkedIn Page{:target=_blank .external-link} for more guidance.
• Enable APIs for your app, including:
  • Share on LinkedIn
  • Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect
