Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Duplicate Content Error
Symptoms: Node fails with duplicate post error
Solution: LinkedIn prevents posting the exact same content multiple times. Add variation to your posts (timestamps, unique IDs) or wait before reposting. The node includes specific error handling for this scenario.
Organization Permission Errors
Symptoms: Node fails when trying to post as organization
Solution: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to post on behalf of the organization. Check that the organization ID is correct and that your LinkedIn account has admin access to the organization page.
OAuth Errors
Symptoms: Node fails with authentication errors
Solution: Verify the user has connected their LinkedIn account and granted necessary permissions (write member social, write organization social). Reconnect the LinkedIn account if needed.
Link Preview Issues
Symptoms: Link URL not generating proper preview
Solution: Ensure the link URL is valid and accessible. LinkedIn may take time to generate link previews. Test the URL in a browser first to ensure it's working properly.
