🛠️ LinkedIn Developer App Setup

To connect your LinkedIn account to AI Social Suites, you need to create a developer application on the LinkedIn Developer Portal. This allows Artifism to securely communicate with your LinkedIn profile or Page.

You will need to generate a Client ID and Client Secret.

LinkedIn API Settings

Step 1: Create a LinkedIn App

  1. Go to the LinkedIn Developer Portal.
  2. Log in with your LinkedIn account.
  3. Click the Create App button.
  4. App Name: Enter a name (e.g., "Artifism Social Suite").

Critical: LinkedIn Page Association

You must associate your app with an active LinkedIn Page. If you do not have one, you must create a placeholder Page first. Without a linked Page, you cannot generate the necessary API keys.

Step 2: Verify Ownership

LinkedIn requires you to verify that you own the Page linked to the app.

  1. Go to the Settings tab -> Verify.
  2. Click Generate verification URL.
  3. Open this URL yourself (or send it to the Page admin) and click Verify.

Your app will not work until its status is "Verified".

Step 3: Request Product Permissions

LinkedIn groups access under "Products". To connect your account and publish posts, you should request these permissions:

  • openid, profile, and email for LinkedIn sign-in
  • w_member_social to publish posts from a personal profile

  • r_organization_social, w_organization_social, and rw_organization_admin for company page access and admin actions

  • Go to the Products tab of your app.

  • Request Share on LinkedIn. This allows you to publish posts from a personal LinkedIn profile.
  • Request Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect. This lets users log in with LinkedIn and gives your app access to openid, profile, and email.

Step 4: Configure Authentication (OAuth 2.0)

  1. Go to the Auth tab.
  2. In the OAuth 2.0 settings section, find the Authorized Redirect URLs field.
  3. Click the edit icon and then + Add redirect URL.
  4. Copy the Redirect URL from Admin → Features → AI Social Suites → General Options and paste it here.
  5. Click Update.

Step 5: Get Your Credentials

  1. Still in the Auth tab, locate the Application credentials section.
  2. Copy your Client ID.
  3. Click the eye icon to reveal and copy your Client Secret.

Step 6: Connect to AI Social Suites

  1. Open your Artifism dashboard and go to Admin -> Features -> AI Social Suites -> General Options.
  2. Expand the LinkedIn card.
  3. Paste your Client ID and Client Secret.
  4. Click Save Configuration.
  5. Now click Connect New Account to authorize your LinkedIn account.

Account Connection Issues?

  • App is not Verified? Check Step 2. You must click the generated verification link.
  • Missing Organization Permissions? Ensure you requested the "Community Management API" and that you are an Administrator of the Page.
  • Redirect URI Error? Double-check that your Artifism URL matches exactly in the Auth tab.
