To run LinkedIn actions, you must first create an identity and connect a LinkedIn account, either using our Chrome Extension, username/password login, or Managed Accounts for a hassle-free setup.

Fields deprecated — The following output fields may be omitted or null:

birth_date
linkedin_thread_id
connected_at

Experiences parameter

When enabled, returns the first 5 companies’ experiences (count varies by profile). The top-level field has_more_experiences is true when LinkedIn has more experiences than this list. Use it to decide whether to call linkedin-extract-people-experiences. The field is omitted when experiences were not requested.

Field	Description
`date`	Employment date ranges only — e.g. `Sep 2024 - Present`, `Sep 2005 - Aug 2008`
`title`	Job title
`company_name`	Company name

Skills parameter

When enabled, returns one or two skills (varies by profile). The top-level field has_more_skills is true when LinkedIn has more skills than this list. Use it to decide whether to call linkedin-extract-people-skills. The field is omitted when skills were not requested.

Sections parameter

When enabled, returns optional profile sections:education · languages · volunteer_experiences · summary · company_name · job_title · linkedin_company_urlEducation fields (when education is included):

Field	Description
`title`	`degreeName` + `fieldOfStudy` (e.g. `Bachelor of Science, Computer Science`)
`degree_name`	First part of `title` when comma-separated; otherwise empty
`field_of_study`	Second part of `title` when comma-separated; otherwise empty

Highlights parameter

When enabled, returns:linkedin_company_url · connection_degree · number_followers · number_connections

Trigger further enrichment with has_more_* — has_more_experiences and has_more_skills tell you whether the arrays in this response are partial. Use them to skip unnecessary linkedin-extract-people-experiences and linkedin-extract-people-skills calls (and the LinkedIn rate-limit cost that comes with them).Treat true as a signal that additional records may be available — the value can vary by LinkedIn response source. Do not assume the returned arrays are complete when the field is true, especially if the data is not from a fresh extraction.

profile_country — Inferred from recent experience locations when LinkedIn does not expose it directly. Remote and hybrid locations are excluded.

identity_ids

string<uuid>[] | null

An array of Identity UUIDs linked to identities (e.g. LinkedIn) used to execute the Action. You must provide at least one valid UID with access to the integration. Do not use account_uid values — only user_uid is supported.

Example:

["44444444-4444-4444-4444-444444444444"]

identity_mode

enum<string> | null

default:direct

If "auto", the Action will use any identities from the current workspace (unless you have provided a list of identity_ids). "managed" will use the Edges pool of identities for an extra credit cost

Available options:

direct,

auto,

managed
