Example Use Cases#
Automated Content Sharing: Share blog posts or articles from your company website to LinkedIn as soon as they're published by connecting the RSS feed to LinkedIn using Pipedream's built-in RSS trigger and LinkedIn actions.
Profile Update Notifications: Set up a workflow that monitors changes to your LinkedIn profile and sends you or your team an email alert whenever updates are made. This can be useful for maintaining a record of changes or for team transparency about profile edits.
