Posts → Share Post
AI-generatedOverview
The "Share Post" operation in the Posts resource allows users to share an existing LinkedIn post on behalf of a specified author (which can be a person or an organization). This operation is useful for amplifying content reach by reposting relevant posts with optional commentary and controlling the visibility of the shared post.
Common scenarios include:
- A marketing team member sharing company updates or industry news posts to their personal network.
- Social media managers resharing posts from company pages to increase engagement.
- Users adding personalized text when sharing posts to provide context or highlight key points.
Example: Sharing a post with ID 12345 as author urn:li:person:abc with the text "Check out this insightful article!" visible to all LinkedIn members.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Author ID | The LinkedIn ID of the author (person or organization) who will share the post. |
| Post ID | The LinkedIn ID of the post to be shared. |
| Text | The text content accompanying the shared post, up to 3000 characters. |
| Visibility | Controls who can see the shared post. Options: Public, Connections, Logged In Members. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the share post action. This typically includes details about the newly created shared post such as its ID and metadata confirming the share was successful.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active API key credential for the external service providing enhanced LinkedIn API access.
- The node uses the "N8N Tools API" for subscription validation before executing operations.
- Proper OAuth2 credentials for LinkedIn are required to authenticate API calls on behalf of the user or organization.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
- Permission errors: Ensure the author ID corresponds to an entity (person or organization) with permission to share the specified post.
- Post not found: Verify the post ID is correct and accessible by the authenticated user.
- Text length exceeded: The text property has a maximum length of 3000 characters; exceeding this may cause errors.
- Visibility issues: Use one of the allowed visibility options; invalid values will cause request failures.
