I can't connect LinkedIn to our self-hosted server

Problem:
We are unable to get the LinkedIn authentication working on our self-hosted n8n server.

What we have already tried:

  • Correctly set the Redirect URL in the LinkedIn Developer Portal.
  • Linked the app to our company page.
  • Verified app settings (privacy policy URL, website, etc.).
  • Tried different scopes.
  • The server is running fine, and other OAuth2 connections work without issues.

Questions:

  • Is this issue common for self-hosted servers?
  • Are there additional settings we need to configure for LinkedIn to work properly with n8n?
  • Do we need to wait for LinkedIn approval (Marketing Developer Platform), even though we don’t see that option?





Hello @Victor_van_der_Blij ,

To post as an organization on LinkedIn the OAuth2 connection will request the scope that is
mentioned in the error message (w_organization_social) which your app doesn’t have permission for. To get that, your application
needs to be put through LinkedIn’s Community Management App Review process.

This can be turned off in the credential settings by toggling the “Organization Support” option. You can find more information about that in our documentation).

Hope that helps

Hi bens,

Perfect! It works now only if I understand correctly I can not make a post on my business page unless I do it via the community management app review process?

It is now connected I should have unchecked those 2 bottom checkboxes.
