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.
Scheduled Posts and Engagement Analysis: Create a workflow that schedules and posts content to LinkedIn at optimal times. Include steps that analyze post engagement using Pipedream's Data Store to track likes, comments, and shares over time, which helps in understanding content performance. .

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:
