Overview
This node enables managing LinkedIn posts through the Horizon Data Wave API. Specifically, for the Post resource and Create Post operation, it allows users to create new LinkedIn posts programmatically. This is useful for automating content publishing on LinkedIn profiles or company pages.
Common scenarios include:
- Scheduling and posting updates or announcements automatically.
- Posting marketing content or job openings without manual intervention.
- Controlling post visibility and comment permissions dynamically based on audience targeting.
Example: Automatically create a LinkedIn post with specific text visible to all connections, allowing comments only from connections.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Horizon Data Wave API after creating the post. The structure typically includes details about the created post such as its unique identifier, status, and metadata returned by the API.
If multiple posts are created in batch mode, the output will be an array of such JSON objects.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
