Documentation

n8n-nodes-heyreagent

This is an n8n community node. It lets you use HeyReagent in your n8n workflows.

HeyReagent lets your own tools act on your own LinkedIn account: read your inbox, send messages and invitations, search for people, and work with posts. It is an independent service, not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation. The package name is n8n-nodes-heyreagent.

Operations

The node has every action of the HeyReagent API: 97 operations in 11 resources.

Resource Operations For example
Account 4 Connect a LinkedIn account, get today's usage and limits
InMail 5 List InMail conversations, get InMail credits
Insight 4 Who is waiting on my reply, who went cold
Job 10 List my job postings, list a job posting's applicants
Message 27 List conversations, get a conversation, send a message
Network 9 Send an invitation, list connections, accept or decline an invitation
Post 11 Get someone's recent posts, comment on a post, get who engaged with a post
Profile 5 Get a profile, update your own profile
Recruiter 4 List Recruiter hiring projects, add or move a candidate
Sales Navigator 1 Save a Sales Navigator lead
Search 17 Search people, companies, posts and jobs

Each operation is described, with its inputs and what comes back, in the HeyReagent docs.

Credentials

You need a HeyReagent account with your LinkedIn account connected. It is free to start.

  1. Sign in at heyreagent.com and connect your own LinkedIn account.
  2. On the thread page, open Menu, then Developers, and create a key. It is shown once.
  3. In n8n, create a HeyReagent API credential and paste the key into API Key.

n8n checks the key when you save the credential.

Compatibility

Tested with n8n 2.41.7.

Usage

  • Pick a Resource, then an Operation. The inputs an action needs are on the node; the optional ones are under Additional Fields.
  • The node returns what the action answers (the API's result). When an action is refused, the node fails with the API's own message, which says why in plain English: for example that a daily limit is reached and when it resets.
  • An input that is a list of objects or an object is entered as JSON.
  • Max Results is the API's limit input.
  • On the free plan, LinkedIn is disconnected after a while without use, so it suits workflows you run while you work. A scheduled workflow needs the Connect plan, which keeps LinkedIn connected.
  • The Sales Navigator, Recruiter and job-posting operations run on your own LinkedIn account and need that product on it.

Each LinkedIn account has a daily limit for each kind of action; see the limits. LinkedIn's User Agreement does not allow automated activity, and LinkedIn can limit or restrict an account that it decides is automated. Keep the numbers small, and spread what you do over the day.

Resources

Version history

  • 0.1.3: a new node, or the node added as an AI agent's tool, now starts on an action that only reads (Account, usage and limits for today). Before, each resource started on its first action in the alphabet, which for messages was a delete.
  • 0.1.2: the names of 38 actions in n8n's action list are in plain sentence case, as n8n's package scanner asks. Nothing else changed.
  • 0.1.1: the same node, published from GitHub Actions with npm provenance, as n8n asks of verified nodes.
  • 0.1.0: first release. Every action of the HeyReagent API, generated from its OpenAPI file by scripts/generate.mjs.

For maintainers

npm run generate reads https://heyreagent.com/openapi.json and rewrites nodes/HeyReagent/actions.ts, so the node offers exactly the actions the API has. Run it, then npm run lint and npm run build, before a release.
