framework:
    session:

LinkedIn Backoffice

Some hints to set up your LinkedIn app:

• Create App via https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps
• Add https://YOURDOMAIN/admin/social-data/connector/linkedin/check in Authorized redirect URLs for your app
• Apply for verification (We wish you the best of luck!)

Connector Configuration

Now head back to the backend (System => Social Data => Connector Configuration) and checkout the linkedIn tab.

• Click on Install
• Click on Enable
• Before you hit the Connect button, you need to fill you out the Connector Configuration. After that, click "Save".
• Click Connect

Connection

This will guide you through the linkedIn token generation. After hitting the "Connect" button, a popup will open to guide you through linkedIn authentication process. If everything worked out fine, the connection setup is complete after the popup closes. Otherwise, you'll receive an error message. You may then need to repeat the connection step.

Feed Configuration

Name	Description
Company ID	Set company id to fetch posts from
Limit	Define a limit to restrict the amount of social posts to import (Default: 20)

Extended Connector Configuration

Normally you don't need to modify connector (connector_config) configuration, so most of the time you can skip this step. However, if you need to change some core setting of a connector, you're able to change them of course.

# config/packages/social_data.yaml
social_data:
    available_connectors:
        -   connector_name: linkedIn
            connector_config:
                api_connect_permission: ['r_liteprofile', 'r_emailaddress', 'r_organization_social'] # default value
