Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
LinkedIn	`app`	`app`	This component uses the LinkedIn app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API
Organization Vanity Name	`organizationVanityName`	`string`	You can get the Orgainization Vanity Name from the company LinkedIN URL, for example, if the company LinkedIn URL is `https://www.linkedin.com/company/confluent`, then the Organization Vanity Name is `confluent`.

Trigger Authentication#

LinkedIn uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your LinkedIn account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into LinkedIn and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any LinkedIn API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

r_1st_connections_sizer_ads_reportingrw_organization_adminw_organization_socialr_organization_socialw_member_social_feedw_member_socialw_organization_social_feedr_basicprofilerw_adsr_organization_social_feedr_ads

About LinkedIn#

LinkedIn is a business and employment-focused social media platform. Manage your professional identity. Build and engage with your professional network. Access knowledge, insights and opportunities.

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
