Control your LinkedIn accounts and retrieve real-time data.

Actions27

Overview

The node "Linked API" provides integration with LinkedIn-related automation and data retrieval services. Specifically, the "Check Connection Status" operation allows users to verify the connection status of a LinkedIn profile by providing its public or hashed URL. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically confirm if a LinkedIn user is connected or reachable via your LinkedIn account.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating lead qualification by checking if a prospect is already connected.
  • Triggering follow-up workflows only for connected profiles.
  • Integrating LinkedIn connection checks into CRM or marketing automation pipelines.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webhook URL The URL where the response will be sent via webhook after the operation completes.
Person URL The public or hashed LinkedIn URL of the person whose connection status you want to check.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the result of the connection status check. The exact structure depends on the external API response but generally includes information about whether the specified LinkedIn person is connected or not.

If the node supports binary data output, it would typically represent attachments or media related to the LinkedIn profile or operation, but this operation primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LinkedIn automation service.
  • Needs a valid webhook URL configured to receive asynchronous responses.
  • The node sends POST requests to https://api.linkedapi.io/automation/execute with JSON payloads describing the operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing webhook URL can cause failure to receive responses.
    • Incorrect or malformed LinkedIn URLs may result in errors or no data found.
    • Authentication failures if the API key credential is invalid or expired.

  • Error messages:

    • "Invalid webhook URL": Ensure the webhook URL is correctly formatted and publicly accessible.
    • "Person URL not found": Verify the LinkedIn URL is correct and publicly available.
    • "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is properly set up and has necessary permissions.
