LinkedIn and OpenAI integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for LinkedIn and OpenAI and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Marketing, Communication, AI, and Langchain workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect LinkedIn and OpenAI

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure LinkedIn and OpenAI nodes

You can find LinkedIn and OpenAI in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure LinkedIn and OpenAI nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect LinkedIn and OpenAI

A connection establishes a link between LinkedIn and OpenAI (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your LinkedIn and OpenAI integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect LinkedIn and OpenAI with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your LinkedIn and OpenAI workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from LinkedIn to OpenAI or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Automate LinkedIn Outreach with Notion and OpenAI

This template is based on the following template. Thank you for the groundwork, Matheus.

How it works:

  1. Store your snippets of text in a Notion table. Each snippet should have an image associated with it (copy + pasted into the text)
  2. Connect to your table via a Notion "integration", from which N8N can then query your pre-meditated posts
  3. The text is fed through an OpenAI assistant to boost engagement via formatting
  4. The re-formatted text along with the image pulled from the Notion snippet are combined into a post for your LinkedIn
  5. The row in the original Notion table from step 1 containing this post is set to a status of "Done"

Set up steps:

  • You will need to create a Notion "integration", which will yield a "secret key" which you enter into your N8N as a "Credential".
  • You will need to create a LinkedIn "app" in order to post on your behalf. When creating your LinkedIn "app", you will be required to link this "app" to a company page on LinkedIn. If you are doing this for yourself, seach for the "Default Company Payge (for API testing)", and select this page as it is provided by LinkedIn for individuals. You can find your LinkedIn apps here, and if you get stuck, further instructions on setting up this workflow (including this LinkedIn OAuth piece) can be found in this YouTube Video Aide to these instructions.
  • Lastly, you will need to create an OpenAI API key, found on your OpenAI Playground Dashboard. Once you created an API key, make sure you have an assistant created from the "Assistants" tab on the OpenAI dashboard. This assistant and its instructions will be needed for carrying out the re-formatting of your post.
