Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to automate my LinkedIn posts, and I have the text working great. Where i’m running into an issue is with photos and videos being added to the post. I’ve tried using a google drive link in the URL, but it just posts the link and not the actual photo.

What step am I missing?

Hi @dcrum 

Good question.

Which LinkedIn action are you trying to use?

Please share screenshots.

This is what i’m trying to use. I can get the text to populate with no issue, but I can’t get the media to do so.

 

@dcrum 

Have you tried using these fields?

 

Yes I have. It gives a thumbnail with a link, as if i’m sharing an article within a post. I have not been able to ‘Embed’ an image into any posts using Zapier to linkedin.

@dcrum 

That may require use of the LinkedIn API via the API Request action.

i wanted to verify before I went to a more code-related route. I guess i’ll have to go through a platform like Make/integromat to accomplish this.

Hi @dcrum -

I wanted to add in a link from our Help Center that goes into a bit more depth about setting up our API request actions. We do hope that you consider using Zapier in the future for other automation needs! 😆
