Create an "article" inside a linkedin page

[gareth_jax]

Describe the problem/error/question

i can only create “posts” of a linkedin page that i own. I would like to create “articles” but there is only the option of “posting a link to an article”.

What is the error message (if any)?

none

Please share your workflow

i'm just testing the linkedin node options.

Share the output returned by the last node

there is no option

Hi @gareth_jax currently I guess LinkedIn doesn’t allow pages to post long form articles only personal profiles

[gareth_jax]

No no, the option is available !

[Brighto]

Since the option is available, I see no reason why you should encounter that error.

The misunderstanding is related to the options available inside the linkedin node:

you can post a “link” to an article, meaning that the long form article has been created BEFORE the post itself.

So my question becomes “how can i create a linkedin long format article using n8n” ?

{
“method”: “POST”,
“url”: “https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares”,
“headers”: {
“Authorization”: “Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN”,
“X-Restli-Protocol-Version”: “2.0.0”
},
“body”: {
“content”: {
“contentEntities”: [{
“entityLocation”: “https://your-blog.com/article-url”
}],
“title”: “Your Article Title”,
“description”: “Brief summary of your article”
},
“distribution”: { “linkedInDistributionTarget”: {} }
}
}

i think this method creates a “link” to an entity.

i was looking for a way to create the a full “rich text” article…

[Brighto]

Hey @gareth_jax sorry fr replying late did you figure it out yet.

[gareth_jax]

nope , i had to create the rich text content using the linkedin web editor and i had to add a link to the generated page. It’s like it was another different platform, it’s not different from linking an external site.

weird!
