Manage LinkedIn accounts through Horizon Data Wave API

Actions8

Overview

This node enables managing LinkedIn accounts via the Horizon Data Wave API. Specifically, for the User resource with the Send Connection operation, it sends a connection invitation to a specified LinkedIn user identified by their User URN. This is useful in automating LinkedIn networking tasks such as outreach campaigns or bulk connection requests.

Practical example:
You want to automatically send connection invitations to a list of LinkedIn users whose URNs you have collected, streamlining your professional networking efforts without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
User URN The unique identifier of the LinkedIn user to whom the connection invitation will be sent. Must include the prefix (e.g., fsd_profile:ACoAA...).
Timeout The maximum time in seconds to wait for the API response before timing out. Default is 300 seconds.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Horizon Data Wave API after attempting to send the connection invitation. The output structure depends on the API's response but generally includes confirmation details or error information related to the connection request.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Horizon Data Wave API credential configured in n8n with valid authentication and an associated account ID.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Horizon Data Wave API endpoint at https://api.horizondatawave.ai/api/linkedin/management/user/connection.
  • Proper network connectivity to the external API service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: "No credentials provided!"
    This indicates that the required API credentials are missing. Ensure you have set up and selected valid Horizon Data Wave API credentials in the node configuration.

  • Error: "Account ID is missing in credentials!"
    The credentials must include an account ID. Verify that your API key or token includes this information or update your credentials accordingly.

  • Timeouts or slow responses
    If the API call times out, consider increasing the Timeout property value or check your network connection.

  • API errors returned in output JSON
    The node passes through API error messages in the output JSON when continuing on failure. Review these messages for issues like invalid User URN format or permission problems.
