# LinkedIn Toolkit

> Read the connected LinkedIn profile and create posts via OAuth

The **LinkedIn** toolkit lets agents read the connected member’s profile and create posts (text, link, image, video, or document). Authentication is **per-user OAuth**.

Add it on the agent **Toolkits** tab. The first use prompts the user to connect LinkedIn if they have not already.

## Prerequisites

* A LinkedIn account the agent should post or read as
* LinkedIn OAuth configured for your organization (admin)
* An agent you can edit
* Users must complete the LinkedIn OAuth connect flow when prompted

## Setup

1. Confirm an admin has configured LinkedIn OAuth (Client ID, Client Secret, redirect URI, scopes).
2. Open the agent → **Toolkits** → add **LinkedIn**.
3. Save the agent. In **Chat**, connect LinkedIn when prompted.
4. `@`-mention LinkedIn tools for profile or posting tasks.

## Available tools

| Tool                 | Description                                                                     |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Get User Profile** | Returns the connected LinkedIn member profile.                                  |
| **Create Post**      | Creates a post (text, link, image, video, or document) as the connected member. |

## Use cases

* Draft and publish a status update from chat
* Confirm which LinkedIn identity is connected before posting

## Tips

* Posts publish as the **connected LinkedIn user** — confirm identity before creating a post.
* Media posts need reachable media according to LinkedIn’s API requirements.
* Store OAuth via the connect flow — do not put tokens in the personality prompt.
