Wanted to check did anything recently change in how zapier or Linkedin Company page posts work?

 

Previously our images appeared as a post image, but now they appear more like a link Preview - as far as I know nothing has changed on our end. 

 

Previously images looked like this on our feed (as a full image):

https://cln.sh/rqRznzdp

 

Now they look like this (more like a preview):

https://cln.sh/FZ3ShtGl

 

Here is our Zap set up.

Also of note, my account is linked to Zapier for linkedin. When I view the post - oddly it shows the full image. But everyone else sees it as the latter, preview image. 🤷

 

Any suggestions on how to address this @ken.a ?

Hi @daverad,

I have moved your reply to a new topic. I hope you don’t mind!

Before we dig deeper into this, could you please confirm if the mapped data in the "Preview - Thumbnail Image" field is a direct URL to the image? To check, you can simply paste the URL in your web browser and check if the image opens immediately and doesn’t require any logins. If it does, then it's a direct URL.

Hi @daverad,

Thanks for the update here.

I did some digging into this, and it seems like you’re running into a known bug with the LinkedIn app when using the “Create Company Update” action. Our team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. I've added your email address as another affected user. That does a few things:

  • Bring this to the attention of the integration developers
  • Help track and prioritize fixes
  • Allows us to notify you via email if/when this is fixed

Unfortunately, I do not have an ETA, but I’ve added you to the list of users affected by this issue so we can let you know as soon as we have any updates.

I appreciate your patience and understanding.
