Q: Can I post to a LinkedIn company page from n8n?

Yes. The LinkedIn node supports posting to organisation pages as well as personal profiles. You need to authenticate with a LinkedIn account that has admin access to the company page, and select the organisation as the post target when configuring the node.

Q: Does the LinkedIn node support image or video posts?

The core LinkedIn node in n8n focuses on text posts and article shares. For posts with images or videos, you would need to use the HTTP Request node with LinkedIn's media upload API endpoints, which requires a multi-step process of registering the upload, uploading the asset, and then creating the post referencing the media.

Q: How do I schedule LinkedIn posts for specific times?

Use a Cron or Schedule Trigger node to fire your workflow at the desired posting time. Pair it with a data source (Google Sheets, Airtable, or a database) that stores your content queue. The workflow pulls the next scheduled post and publishes it to LinkedIn through the node.

Q: What LinkedIn API permissions do I need?

You need a LinkedIn OAuth 2.0 app with the w_member_social permission for personal profile posts, or w_organization_social for company page posts. The r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress scopes are needed for authentication. Create your app at the LinkedIn Developer Portal and request the appropriate permissions.

Q: Can I automate LinkedIn lead generation with n8n?

LinkedIn's API restricts automated scraping and direct messaging. However, you can build workflows around LinkedIn's official capabilities — posting content, tracking engagement through webhooks, and connecting LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to your CRM. For scraping-style prospecting, third-party tools like Phantombuster can feed data into n8n.

Q: Is there a risk of getting my LinkedIn account restricted?

As long as you stay within LinkedIn's API rate limits and content policies, automated posting through the official API is allowed. Avoid posting too frequently (more than a few times per day is excessive), do not send automated connection requests, and make sure your content is genuine. The official API is the safe path.

About LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the dominant professional networking platform, used by businesses for recruiting, sales prospecting, brand building, and industry engagement. The n8n LinkedIn node allows you to automate posting content to LinkedIn company pages and personal profiles, making it possible to maintain a consistent publishing schedule without manually logging in to create each post.

Marketing teams and business owners use this integration to keep their LinkedIn presence active. Instead of drafting and publishing posts one at a time, they create content in batches (or pull it from a CMS or content calendar) and let n8n handle the scheduling and publishing. This is particularly useful for companies running thought leadership campaigns, sharing blog posts, or promoting events across multiple LinkedIn pages.

Osher helps organisations build AI agent development workflows that include LinkedIn as an output channel. We have built systems where AI-generated content summaries are reviewed by a human, approved through a Slack message, and then automatically published to LinkedIn with the right formatting and hashtags. Other setups pull new blog posts from WordPress via RSS and create LinkedIn posts with excerpts and links, keeping your social feed aligned with your content calendar.

The n8n node supports creating text posts and sharing articles on both personal profiles and organisation pages. It uses LinkedIn’s OAuth 2.0 authentication and works within LinkedIn’s API rate limits and content policies. For lead generation and prospecting workflows that go beyond posting, the node can be combined with other tools for a complete pipeline.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement LinkedIn

As LinkedIn consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate LinkedIn with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Create a LinkedIn Developer App

Go to the LinkedIn Developer Portal and create a new app. Associate it with your company page, add the required OAuth 2.0 scopes (w_member_social for personal posts, w_organization_social for company pages), and note your Client ID and Client Secret.

Step 2

Set Up OAuth 2.0 Credentials in n8n

In n8n, add a new LinkedIn OAuth2 API credential. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret from the LinkedIn app. Set the redirect URL to match your n8n OAuth callback URL. Complete the OAuth flow by signing into LinkedIn when prompted.

Step 3

Build Your Content Source

Decide where your post content comes from. Options include a Google Sheets content calendar, an RSS feed from your blog, an Airtable base with queued posts, or manual input through an n8n form. Set up the corresponding node to read from your chosen source.

Step 4

Add the LinkedIn Node

Add the LinkedIn node to your workflow. Select whether you are posting to a personal profile or an organisation page. Map the post text from your content source using expressions. Add any relevant hashtags or formatting to the post body.

Step 5

Add Scheduling and Conditions

If posting on a schedule, add a Cron Trigger at the start of your workflow. Add an IF node if you need to filter posts by status (only publish approved posts) or check that the content meets minimum length requirements before posting.

Step 6

Test with a Draft Post and Go Live

Run the workflow manually and verify the post appears correctly on LinkedIn. Check formatting, links, and hashtags. Once you are satisfied with the output, activate the workflow. Monitor the first few automated posts to confirm everything works as expected.
