Overview
The node "Linked API" enables automation and interaction with LinkedIn posts and accounts. Specifically, the React to Post operation allows users to add a reaction (such as Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, or Funny) to a specified LinkedIn post by providing its URL. This is useful for automating engagement on LinkedIn content, such as acknowledging achievements, showing support, or simply liking posts without manual intervention.
Practical examples:
- Automatically reacting to posts from key contacts or company pages to maintain active engagement.
- Celebrating milestones or achievements posted by team members or clients.
- Adding supportive or insightful reactions to relevant industry content shared on LinkedIn.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Webhook URL | The URL where the response will be sent via webhook after the reaction is processed. |
| Post URL | The LinkedIn URL of the post to which the reaction will be added. |
| Reaction Type | The type of reaction to add to the post. Options: Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, Funny |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the reaction operation. This typically includes confirmation that the reaction was successfully added to the specified post. The exact structure depends on the external API response but generally confirms success or failure.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the LinkedIn automation API service.
- Needs a valid webhook URL configured to receive asynchronous responses.
- The node sends requests to
https://api.linkedapi.io/automationendpoint.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Post URL: If the provided LinkedIn post URL is malformed or inaccessible, the operation may fail. Ensure the URL is correct and publicly accessible or accessible with the authenticated account.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Webhook Issues: If the webhook URL is incorrect or unreachable, the node might not receive the response properly. Confirm the webhook endpoint is live and correctly configured.
- Unsupported Reaction Type: Using a reaction type outside the listed options will likely cause errors. Use only the supported reaction types.
