In one line: Connect LinkedIn so your UnleashX agent can publish a post — announcement, update, thought piece — straight from a workflow.
1. Overview
LinkedIn is the professional social network where most B2B announcements, hiring posts, and thought-leadership content land. Once connected to UnleashX, your agent can create a post on the connected account. It works against LinkedIn’s API using your authorized sign-in, so the post appears exactly as if you’d published it yourself. Connecting LinkedIn to UnleashX means publishing becomes the last step in a workflow rather than a separate chore: draft a summary from a report, get it approved, and post it — without leaving the flow.Looking to manage ad campaigns rather than publish content? That’s a different connector — see LinkedIn Ads.
2. What you’ll need
- A LinkedIn account (or a Company Page you administer, if posting as the organization).
- Permission to authorize third-party apps on that account.
- An UnleashX account with access to Data Connectors.
3. Get your credentials
LinkedIn uses OAuth 2.0. You do not create or paste an API key. UnleashX redirects you to LinkedIn, you sign in once, and LinkedIn issues an access token to UnleashX automatically.1
Start the connection in UnleashX
In your agent’s Data Connectors, find LinkedIn and click Connect (see Section 4).
2
Sign in to LinkedIn
Choose the account that should publish the posts.
3
Review and approve the requested scopes
Click Allow to grant access and return to UnleashX.
There is no key to copy. Access is granted by your LinkedIn sign-in and can be revoked anytime under LinkedIn Settings → Data privacy → Permitted services.
LinkedIn access tokens expire on a fixed schedule (typically 60 days). If posting starts failing with a
401, reconnect the connector.4. Connect on UnleashX
