# LinkedIn

> This page outlines how to use the LinkedIn integration for social selling, enrichment, and automation in Cargo.

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.

<Info>
  LinkedIn actions consume Cargo credits. Credit costs vary by action type.
</Info>

Once connected, you can:

* **Use LinkedIn in workflows** — Choose **LinkedIn** from the node catalog within a **Play**, **Tool**, or **Agent**.
* **Fetch LinkedIn data** — Create data models from LinkedIn searches to trigger Plays.
