Overview

Connect a personal LinkedIn profile to OpenQuok with identifier linkedin. OAuth completes in a single step (no Page picker). Publishing uses the official LinkedIn REST Posts API.

For company Pages, see LinkedIn Page. Both channels share the same LinkedIn developer app credentials.

One LinkedIn app

Personal profile and Page channels use the same LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID and LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET. Register **both** OAuth redirect URIs if you connect either or both channel types.

Features

Supported

Feature	Details
Text posts	Up to 3,000 characters
Images	Multi-image posts

Company mention	Composer toolbar LinkedIn icon — paste a `linkedin.com/company/…` URL to insert an organization mention tag
@-mention lookup	Unlock the LinkedIn channel in custom mode, type @ plus at least two characters (or use the toolbar @ button), then pick an organization from suggestions — backed by POST /integrations/mentions

Feature	Notes
Account analytics	Available on linkedin-page channels only — see LinkedIn Page
Per-post analytics	Available on linkedin-page channels only
Page auto-repost / auto-plug	linkedin-page channel plugs only — see LinkedIn Page
Direct PDF file upload	Attach images instead; OpenQuok builds the document carousel at publish time

Backend environment

Set in backend/.env.development.local (see backend/.env.development.example):

LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID
LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET

Restart the backend after changing env vars.

OAuth redirect URI

Register this redirect URI in your LinkedIn app (Auth tab). The path is built from FRONTEND_DOMAIN_URL:

https://YOUR-FRONTEND-DOMAIN/integration/oauth/linkedin

Local development example:

https://localhost:5173/integration/oauth/linkedin

LinkedIn developer app setup

Create an app

Create an app at LinkedIn Developers.

Add required products

In Products, add all required products. They include:

Share on LinkedIn
Sign in with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect
Advertising API

Note

OpenQuok requests openid and profile during OAuth and loads the signing-in member from LinkedIn’s /v2/userinfo endpoint.

Advertising API

Request the Advertising API product and complete LinkedIn’s access form. Without it, refresh tokens may not work and channels can disconnect.

In Auth, after verification is completed, you can verify that the following organization scopes are automatically added (required for linkedin-page — see LinkedIn Page for verification steps):

rw_organization_admin
w_organization_social
r_organization_social

Set redirect URI

In Auth, add the personal profile OAuth redirect URI (see OAuth redirect URI above). If you also use linkedin-page, add that URI too (see LinkedIn Page — OAuth redirect URI).
