Overview

This node operation starts a new conversation with a specified lead on LinkedIn. It is useful for automating outreach or initiating communication with leads directly from n8n workflows. For example, a sales automation workflow can use this node to send a personalized greeting message to a new lead automatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Starting a conversation with a lead by providing the LinkedIn Account ID, Lead ID, and an initial message.
  2. Automating follow-up messages to leads by starting conversations programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account ID The LinkedIn ID of the account to start the conversation for, identifying the sender's account.
Lead ID The LinkedIn ID of the lead to start the conversation with, identifying the recipient.
Conversation Message The message content to send in the new conversation.
Request Options Optional settings for the request such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • conversationId - The unique identifier of the started conversation.
  • status - The status of the conversation start request, e.g., success or failure.
  • message - Additional information or confirmation message returned from the API after starting the conversation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Aimfox API authentication to interact with LinkedIn conversations.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Account ID and Lead ID are valid LinkedIn IDs; invalid IDs will cause the request to fail.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests time out or fail to connect.
  • If SSL certificate validation errors occur, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option cautiously.
  • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions to start conversations.
