Manage LinkedIn accounts through Horizon Data Wave API

Actions8

Overview

This node enables managing LinkedIn accounts through the Horizon Data Wave API, focusing on various LinkedIn resources such as users, chats, and posts. Specifically for the Chat - Send Message operation, it allows sending chat messages directly to a LinkedIn user by specifying their User URN and the message text.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating outreach or follow-up messages to LinkedIn contacts.
  • Integrating LinkedIn messaging into broader workflows, such as CRM updates or marketing campaigns.
  • Sending personalized messages at scale while respecting rate limits via configurable timeouts.

Example: Automatically send a welcome message to new LinkedIn connections by providing their User URN and a custom message text.

Properties

Name Meaning
User URN The unique identifier of the LinkedIn user to whom the message will be sent. Must include prefix (e.g., fsd_profile:ACoAA...).
Company URN (Optional) The company URN where the account has admin rights. Must include prefix (e.g., company:1441). Used to specify context if applicable.
Message Text The actual text content of the message to send to the specified user.
Timeout Time in seconds to wait before timing out the request. Default is 300 seconds.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Horizon Data Wave API after sending the message. This typically includes details about the sent message or confirmation of success.

If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of such JSON objects, each corresponding to one input item.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active API key credential for the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API.
  • The node uses the Horizon Data Wave API endpoint https://api.horizondatawave.ai.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials with an associated LinkedIn account ID is mandatory.
  • Network connectivity to the Horizon Data Wave API service.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If no credentials are provided or the account ID is missing in the credentials, the node will throw an error. Ensure that the API key credential is configured correctly with a valid LinkedIn account ID.
  • Invalid User URN: The User URN must include the correct prefix and format. Incorrect URNs will cause the API call to fail.
  • Timeouts: If the API does not respond within the specified timeout, the request will fail. Adjust the timeout property as needed based on network conditions.
  • API Rate Limits: Sending many messages in quick succession may hit API rate limits. Use the timeout property to space requests appropriately.
  • Error Responses: If the API returns an error, the node will either stop execution or continue with error details in the output depending on the "Continue On Fail" setting.
