LinkedIn

LinkedIn uses OAuth 2.0 and has more approval friction than most other providers.

What you need

  • LinkedIn developer app
  • LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID
  • LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET
  • Callback URL: https://your-domain.com/api/v1/accounts/linkedin/callback

Relevant setting

sh
OPENPOST_DISABLE_LINKEDIN_THREAD_REPLIES=false

If your LinkedIn app cannot obtain the permissions required for comment-style replies, set OPENPOST_DISABLE_LINKEDIN_THREAD_REPLIES=true.

Threading caveat

LinkedIn thread child posts are implemented as comments on the first post rather than native threaded posts.

Common issues

  • Insufficient app approval for social actions
  • Callback URL mismatch
  • Reply permissions missing for thread child posts
