LinkedIn
Monitor your LinkedIn for post engagement, messages, connection requests, and brand mentions. Stay on top of your professional presence and never miss an opportunity.
Quick Setup
- Go to LinkedIn Developer Portal
- Click Create App → fill in your company page and app details
- Under Auth, copy the Client ID and Client Secret
- Request the required OAuth scopes:
r_liteprofile,r_emailaddress,w_member_social,r_organization_social - Complete the OAuth flow to get an Access Token
- In Phyllax → Integrations → LinkedIn → Connect → paste all three values
Required Credentials
| Field | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Access Token | Generated from the LinkedIn OAuth flow |
| Client ID | LinkedIn Developer Portal → Your App → Auth tab |
| Client Secret | LinkedIn Developer Portal → Your App → Auth tab |
Getting an Access Token
LinkedIn requires a full OAuth 2.0 flow to get an access token. The easiest way: use the LinkedIn OAuth Token Generator in the developer portal. Tokens expire after 60 days and need to be refreshed.

Notification Actions
When LinkedIn finds something important, the notification card shows:
- Reply to comment — AI drafts a reply you can edit before posting
- Like — like the post or comment
- View post — open the post on LinkedIn
- Hide comment — hide inappropriate comments
- View analytics — see engagement metrics
All action chips that involve writing (Reply to comment, etc.) open the AI draft panel — AI generates a suggested response that you can edit before posting.
Troubleshooting
"Access token expired"
LinkedIn access tokens expire after 60 days. Generate a new one using the OAuth flow and update it in Phyllax.
"Insufficient permissions" error
Your app needs specific OAuth scopes approved by LinkedIn. Some scopes (like messaging) require a LinkedIn partnership or app review. Check which scopes your app has under the Auth tab.
Company page data not accessible
To access company page data, your LinkedIn app must be associated with the company page and you must be an admin of that page. Verify this in LinkedIn Developer Portal → Your App → Products.
