I am trying to trigger a Linkedin post when a email is received in my Gmail. But when I configure the “Create share update” Step “configure” I am setting the “Content - Description” to the Gmail “Body Plain” attribute, and in the “Comment” attribute I am passing some text. However when I perform the test it always gives me an error “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'article')”. I dont find any Article attribute in the list of fields. I am attaching the screenshot of the error

Troubleshooting LinkedIn share updates with Gmail integration

Hello
This happens because Create Share Update switches to a link post as soon as anything is mapped under Content. LinkedIn then expects an article URL, but none is provided, so the test fails.
Fix:
If you want a text-only post, put the Gmail Body Plain in Comment and leave all Content fields empty.
If you want to share a link, you must also map a valid Content URL.
Once the Content fields are used correctly, the error goes away.
