Connect your app to LinkedIn

1. 1

   Go to the 'Connectors' section in your Lovable dashboard and select 'LinkedIn'.

   This is where you manage all external services your Lovable projects can use.

2. 2

   Click 'Add connection'.

   This starts the process of setting up a new link between Lovable and a LinkedIn account.

3. 3

   Give your connection a unique name, like 'LinkedIn Prod', in the 'Display name' field.

   This name helps you identify this specific LinkedIn connection within Lovable, especially if you have multiple.

4. 4

   Optionally, expand 'Advanced settings' to review the permissions your app will ask for on LinkedIn.

   You can see exactly what information your app will be able to access or actions it can take on LinkedIn, such as reading your profile or publishing posts.

5. 5

   Decide who else in your Lovable workspace can use this connection. By default, it's private to you.

   This controls whether other team members can use this LinkedIn connection in their projects without setting up their own.

6. 6

   Click 'Connect', then sign in to LinkedIn if prompted, review the permissions, and click 'Allow'.

   This authorizes Lovable to access your LinkedIn account with the permissions you've reviewed, completing the connection process.

I need to connect my Lovable app to LinkedIn. Can you guide me through the steps to set up a new LinkedIn connection so my app can read basic profile data and publish posts?

OAuth

A secure way for one service (like Lovable) to access your information or act on your behalf on another service (like LinkedIn) without ever seeing your password.

API quotas

Limits on how many requests your app can make to LinkedIn's services within a certain time period. These are set by LinkedIn.

Scopes

Specific permissions you grant to an app, like allowing it to read your profile or post on your behalf. You choose what an app can and cannot do.

CRM

Customer Relationship Management. Software used by businesses to manage and analyze customer interactions and data throughout the customer lifecycle.

• You must have a Lovable workspace owner or admin role to connect LinkedIn.
• All requests made through this connection count against the connected LinkedIn account's API limits, which are managed by LinkedIn, not Lovable.
• If LinkedIn authorization is removed from the LinkedIn side, you'll need to reconnect it in Lovable for your apps to work again.
• The LinkedIn connector cannot read other members' profiles, connections, or messages, nor can it manage company pages or receive real-time events.
• Each LinkedIn connection in Lovable is tied to a single LinkedIn account, meaning it doesn't support individual LinkedIn logins for each end-user of your app.
