[FEATURE] LinkedIn app

[oliviermills]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No LinkedIn app for action: posting/sharing

Describe the solution you'd like
Add LinkedIn to the list of apps

Do you have a workaround?
Write out the post and share actions as node.js scripts.

Comparable features in other tools?
Yes, zapier and automate.io have it.

Additional context
Starting point would be the ugsPosts here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin?context=linkedin/consumer/context

LinkedIn has been integrated. Free to free to add any actions you see fit.

One issue still remains - "LinkedIn offers programmatic refresh tokens that are valid for a fixed length of time. By default, access tokens are valid for 60 days and programmatic refresh tokens are valid for a year. LinkedIn supports programmatic refresh tokens for a limited set of partners on a case-by-case basis."

Thanks for the amazing response and implementation time!! @todsac

The current scopes you included are r_emailaddress, r_liteprofile, w_member_social. This excludes the ability to post or read on-behalf of LinkedIn organizations/showcase pages the user is admin of. I suggest adding w_organization_social to allow this. ~ unless I missed away to do this myself?

The LinkedIn "ugcPost" resource will eventually take over the Share API's, so I'd recommend we focus on that resource. More info here on scopes/permissions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/ugc-post-api#permissions

Thanks!

@oliviermills - I will look into this. I added the scope and it doesn't work so my assumption is our app is not approved for this resource. I believe LinkedIn has a Marketing Developer Platform that we may need to be approved for but will report back.

@oliviermills I confirmed with LinkedIn that we need to be in the program and are working with them on getting approved. Here are the only scopes we are currently approved for:

The LinkedIn app has been updated to include refresh tokens so the prior issue is solved.
