Connector Configuration

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

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
