Linkedin personal account connection

Help me Build my Workflow
1

Hi …

I dont seem to be able to connect the linkedin node in my workflow to my personal linkedin account

I created a company linkedin page and that connected successfully

Can personal accounts be connected ? Is there a specific configuration trick i am missing ?

Thanka

Welcome to the n8n community @saravanan_manivel
I believe the key detail here is that Community Management OAuth2 is the recommended option for newer LinkedIn apps, and that setup requires a LinkedIn Company Page. The standard OAuth2 option is generally only intended for older apps or older user account setups. I’d also keep in mind that LinkedIn uses different API permissions depending on who is posting: posting as a person requires w_member_social, while posting as an organization requires w_organization_social.

yeah the Community Management OAuth2 is specifically for company pages — for personal accounts you want the standard “LinkedIn OAuth2 API” credential type with w_member_social scope. heads up though: LinkedIn restricted their sharing API in 2023 and requires apps to be in their Marketing Developer Program for production posting. personal posting via the LinkedIn node can work fine for testing but you might hit API access walls when moving to production.
