Overview

The "Sync Conversation in Sales Navigator" operation of the Linked API node allows users to synchronize conversation data related to a specific LinkedIn person within the Sales Navigator context. This operation sends a request to an external API endpoint, providing a LinkedIn person's URL and a webhook URL where the response will be delivered asynchronously.

This node is beneficial when you want to keep your system or workflow updated with the latest conversation data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator without manually polling for updates. For example, sales teams can automate syncing conversations with prospects to maintain up-to-date communication records or trigger follow-up actions based on new messages.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webhook URL The URL where the response from the sync operation will be sent via webhook (asynchronous).
Person URL The public or hashed LinkedIn profile URL of the person whose conversation data will be synced.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the result of the sync conversation operation as received from the external API. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes conversation details related to the specified LinkedIn person.

If the operation involves binary data (not indicated here), it would typically represent attachments or media related to the conversation, but this node focuses on JSON data output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external Linked API service.
  • Needs a reachable webhook URL configured by the user to receive asynchronous responses.
  • The node makes POST requests to https://api.linkedapi.io/automation/execute with appropriate headers including a client identifier and content type.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or unreachable webhook URL: Ensure the webhook URL is publicly accessible and correctly configured to receive POST requests.
    • Incorrect or missing LinkedIn person URL: Verify that the provided URL is valid and corresponds to a LinkedIn profile.
    • Authentication failures: Confirm that the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
    • Network or API errors: Check network connectivity and API service status.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to webhook delivery usually indicate problems with the webhook URL or its availability.
    • API authentication errors suggest invalid credentials.
    • Validation errors may occur if required properties like personUrl or webhookUrl are missing or malformed.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, ensuring proper credential setup, and confirming webhook endpoint readiness.
