LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, connecting professionals and businesses worldwide. Cargo’s native integration with LinkedIn allows you to enrich profiles and companies, search for posts and jobs, and automate social selling activities directly from your workflows.

How to set up LinkedIn

LinkedIn is available as a Cargo-managed integration. No API keys or OAuth setup required—simply select LinkedIn from the node catalog and start using it in your workflows.
LinkedIn actions consume Cargo credits. Credit costs vary by action type.
Once connected, you can:
  • Use LinkedIn in workflows — Choose LinkedIn from the node catalog within a Play, Tool, or Agent.
