Overview
The "React to Post" operation of the Linkup API node allows users to automate adding reactions to LinkedIn posts. This is useful for social media managers, marketers, recruiters, or anyone looking to engage with LinkedIn content programmatically without manual interaction. For example, you can automatically "Like" or "Celebrate" a post based on certain triggers in your workflow, helping maintain active engagement and visibility on LinkedIn.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Linkup API service.
- The node uses the Linkup API endpoint at
https://api.linkupapi.com/v1/posts/react. - Requires proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n credentials settings.
- Optionally uses country codes for proxy selection.
Troubleshooting
- Missing API Key: If the API key is not configured, the node will throw an error indicating the missing API key. Ensure the API key credential is set up correctly.
- Invalid Post URL: Providing an incorrect or malformed LinkedIn post URL may cause the API to return errors or fail silently.
- Reaction Type Errors: Using an unsupported reaction type value could result in API errors.
- Timeouts: Network issues or slow responses might cause timeouts; adjust the timeout property if needed.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the Linkup API; implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
- Country Code Issues: Using an invalid or unsupported country code for proxy selection might affect request routing.
