WARNING

Warning: Never share your API keys or access tokens with anyone — including plemeo developers.

These keys are for your personal use only and must be kept secure in your private environment.
plemeo is a self-hosted, open-source tool. You remain in full control of your API access at all times.

Setup Process

1. Create LinkedIn App

Head over to LinkedIn developers and create a new app.

LinkedIn Developer Portal

2. Verify Your App

You will need to follow the verification process to request the necessary permissions listed below.

Fill in all your details. Once created, head over to Products and make sure you add the required products:

  • Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect
  • Share on LinkedIn

LinkedIn App Products

INFO

For personal LinkedIn profiles, you typically don't need the advanced business permissions that LinkedIn Pages require.

3. Configure OAuth2 Redirect URI

The OAuth2 Redirect URI is the location where the provider will redirect to after trying to login. This needs to be set to https://run.plemeo.ai/integrations/social/linkedin.

Examples:

  • For production: https://run.plemeo.ai/integrations/social/linkedin
  • For local development: http://localhost:4200/integrations/social/linkedin

TIP

You only need to set one OAuth2 Redirect URI when you are setting up your plemeo app.

4. Configure in plemeo

Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the Auth tab of your LinkedIn App in the developer portal.

Now configure these in plemeo:

  1. Go to Apps in your plemeo dashboard
  2. Select Social Media App
  3. Click on the settings icon (⚙️)
  4. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret in the LinkedIn configuration fields
  5. Click Save

INFO

Note: This configuration is for personal LinkedIn profiles. If you want to post to a LinkedIn Company Page, use the LinkedIn Page provider instead.
