Posts → Create Personal Post
AI-generatedOverview
This node operation allows users to create a personal post on LinkedIn via the LinkedIn Marketing API v2. It is useful for automating content publishing on a personal LinkedIn profile, enabling marketers, recruiters, or professionals to programmatically share updates, announcements, or media with their network. For example, a user can schedule posts about upcoming events, share industry news, or publish thought leadership articles directly from an automated workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Author ID | The LinkedIn ID of the author (person) who will create the post. |
| Text | The text content of the post, up to 3000 characters. |
| Visibility | Who can see the post. Options: Public, Connections, Logged In Members. |
| Media Category | The type of media attached to the post. Options: None, Image, Video, Article. |
Output
The output contains a JSON object representing the response from the LinkedIn API after creating the personal post. This typically includes details such as the post's unique identifier, status, and metadata confirming successful creation. There is no binary data output for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key for the external "N8N Tools API" service.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials for LinkedIn API access.
- The node uses the LinkedIn Marketing API v2 endpoints through helper classes bundled in the node.
- Proper configuration of these credentials and API keys within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly set and active.
- LinkedIn API errors: Errors related to permissions or invalid author IDs may occur if the provided Author ID is incorrect or lacks posting rights.
- Text length exceeded: Ensure the post text does not exceed 3000 characters.
- Visibility option issues: Use only the supported visibility options; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
- To resolve most errors, check credentials, input parameters, and ensure the LinkedIn account has appropriate permissions.
