Overview
The node integrates with the Linkup API to automate LinkedIn activities. Specifically, for the Post resource and the Repost Content operation, it allows users to repost an existing LinkedIn post programmatically. This is useful for social media managers or marketers who want to automate content sharing on LinkedIn without manual intervention.
Typical scenarios include:
- Automatically resharing company updates or important posts at scheduled intervals.
- Amplifying content reach by reposting relevant posts from partners or influencers.
- Integrating LinkedIn reposting into broader marketing automation workflows.
Example: A user can input a LinkedIn post URL and trigger this node to repost that content on their LinkedIn feed, saving time and ensuring consistent engagement.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn Post URL | The URL of the LinkedIn post to be reposted (e.g., https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/xxx). |
| Country Code | Country code used for proxy selection during the request (e.g., FR for France, US for United States). |
| Timeout | Request timeout in milliseconds (default 30000 ms). |
| Retry Count | Number of retries if the request fails (default 3). |
These properties are part of two collections:
- Linkup Parameters (
postsParams): Contains the LinkedIn post URL and country code. - Advanced Options (
additionalFields): Contains timeout and retry count settings.
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Linkup API after attempting to repost the specified LinkedIn post.
The output JSON includes:
- The API response fields as returned by the Linkup service.
- A
_debugobject with details about the request body, headers, endpoint, and raw API response for troubleshooting. - Metadata including the resource (
post), operation (repost), timestamp of execution, and node version. - Paired item information linking the output to the corresponding input item.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Linkup API to authenticate requests.
- The node uses HTTP POST requests to the Linkup API endpoint
/posts/repost. - The user must configure the Linkup API credentials in n8n before using this node.
- Optional country code parameter influences proxy selection for the API call.
Troubleshooting
- Missing API Key Error: If the API key credential is not configured, the node will throw an error indicating the missing API key. Solution: Configure the Linkup API key in the node credentials.
- Invalid Post URL: Providing an incorrect or malformed LinkedIn post URL may cause the API to return an error. Ensure the URL is valid and publicly accessible.
- Timeouts: Network issues or slow responses may cause timeouts. Adjust the "Timeout" property to a higher value if needed.
- API Rate Limits or Failures: The node supports retry attempts; increase "Retry Count" if transient errors occur.
- Country Code Issues: Using an unsupported or incorrect country code might affect proxy routing and cause failures. Use standard ISO country codes like FR, US, UK, etc.
