What does the Linkup API for LinkedIn Make integration do?
It lets a Make scenario (the automation you build, a chain of bricks called modules) act on LinkedIn through Linkup: publish, comment, message, search profiles and companies, handle invitations and job posts. Everything runs from the account you connect once, with no code to write.
A warmer sales pipeline. When a new lead lands in your CRM, Extract Profile Information pulls the LinkedIn profile and Send a Connection Request asks to connect, so the rep starts from a known face instead of a cold name.
A recruiting desk that feeds itself. Search Recruiter Candidates finds people, Get Recruiter CV brings back their resume, and Create Job, Publish a Job Action and Close a Job Action cover the life of an opening.
A calmer inbox. Get Message Inbox and Search Conversations Messages read what came in, and Send a Message answers from a template you control.
Know the limit before you start. Make itself says the documentation for this app is limited because little public information exists about it. The module names are clear, but fields are not described, so test each module with Run once before you trust it. The Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails. The same kind of app often has an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison sets the two tools side by side, and the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted.
How do you connect Linkup API for LinkedIn to Make?
- 01
Open the connection window
Add any Linkup API for LinkedIn module to a scenario, then click Create a connection. The connection is your Linkup account linked to Make once; every module of the app reuses it afterwards.
- 02
Name it and authorize Make
Give the connection a name if you like, for example the account it belongs to. Then either approve Make on the page Linkup opens, or paste the key Linkup gives you, whichever the window asks for.
- 03
Save and check the fields
Click Save. Back in the module, the fields should now be ready to fill. If an error shows instead, the key or the authorization did not go through; start the connection again.
Your first scenario with Linkup API for LinkedIn
GoalWhen a new lead arrives in another app, Make reads the LinkedIn profile with Linkup API for LinkedIn and sends a connection request.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the trigger of the app where your leads land (your CRM or form tool): Linkup has no trigger of its own.
- 02
Add Extract Profile Information
Click the + on the right of the trigger, search Linkup API for LinkedIn and pick Extract Profile Information. Create the connection, then map the lead's LinkedIn profile from the first module.
- 03
Add Send a Connection Request
Add Send a Connection Request after it, with the same connection. Map the profile returned by the previous module, so each lead, one bundle at a time, gets its own invitation.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once with a test lead. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and check the invitation went to the right person.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Keep that or change it, then switch the scenario on.

Accept a Connection Invitation
ActionIn the docs onlyThis action says yes to an invitation someone sent you, so your network grows without opening LinkedIn. Pair it with a search first, because the module needs to know which invitation to accept.
Add a Comment to a Post
ActionIn the docs onlyPosting a comment under a LinkedIn post from a scenario keeps you present in a conversation without switching tabs. The text can come from any earlier module, a sheet row or a template.
Authenticate a User
ActionIn the docs onlyGoing by its name, this module starts a LinkedIn login through Linkup for a user. The doc gives no detail on what it asks for or returns, so treat it as a technical step rather than an everyday brick.
Close a Job Action
ActionIn the docs onlyOnce a role is filled, this module closes the job post, so candidates stop applying to an opening that no longer exists. It is the last step in the life of a job managed from Make.
Create Job
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate Job drafts a new job opening on LinkedIn from data you already have, such as a title and description kept in a sheet. It saves your recruiters from typing the same opening twice.
Create a Post
ActionIn the docs onlyYou get a LinkedIn post published from your account with text mapped from earlier modules. It turns a blog article, a product update or a new event into a post without copy and paste.
Extract Profile Contact Information
ActionIn the docs onlyThis module fetches the contact details of a LinkedIn profile, as its name says. The doc does not list which details come back, so read the first bundle before mapping anything into your CRM.
Extract Profile Information
ActionIn the docs onlyFeed it a LinkedIn profile and the scenario gets that person's public profile data to reuse, for example to fill a CRM record. It is the building block for enrichment scenarios.
Get Company Information
ActionIn the docs onlyFor one company, this module returns its LinkedIn company page data, which gives your account records more context than a bare domain name. Use it next to the profile modules to describe the employer as well as the person.
Get Message Inbox
ActionIn the docs onlyReading your LinkedIn inbox from Make lets you copy new conversations to a shared tool where the whole team can see them. Every message thread can then be routed to the right person.
Get Network Recommendations
ActionIn the docs onlyThe suggestions LinkedIn makes for your network come back into the scenario, ready to be sorted or sent to a sheet. It is a quick way to review who LinkedIn thinks you should know.
Get Recruiter CV
ActionIn the docs onlyRecruiters get a candidate's resume pulled into the scenario, so it can be stored with the rest of the application. It spares the download and upload dance for each candidate.
Get Your LinkedIn Profile Info
ActionIn the docs onlyUnlike the extraction modules, this one reads the profile of the connected account itself. Handy to confirm which LinkedIn account a scenario is really using before it posts or sends anything.
Like a Post
ActionIn the docs onlyA like on a chosen post, sent from your account, with no need to scroll the feed. It works well at the end of a chain that has already found the right posts.
Make an API Call
ActionIn the docs onlyWhen none of the listed modules covers what you need, this one calls any endpoint of the Linkup API with the same connection. It is the way around a missing module, not a module to start with.
Publish a Job Action
ActionIn the docs onlyPublishing a job makes the opening visible to candidates on LinkedIn. It takes a job you created earlier and puts it live, which keeps the approval step separate from the drafting step.
Search Comments
SearchIn the docs onlyPulling the comments of a post into Make shows you who reacted in words, one bundle per comment. From there you can log them, answer them or spot the people worth a conversation.
Search Companies
SearchIn the docs onlyLooking for companies on LinkedIn from a scenario builds a target list you can then enrich. Results come back one company per bundle, ready for Get Company Information or a sheet.
Search Connections
SearchIn the docs onlyYour existing LinkedIn connections become searchable data in Make, which helps you find who you already know at a target account. That list is often the fastest route to a warm introduction.
Search Conversations Messages
SearchIn the docs onlyFinding a specific exchange in your LinkedIn messages lets the scenario pick up where a conversation stopped. Where Get Message Inbox reads the inbox broadly, this search narrows to the messages you target.
Search Pending Invitations
SearchIn the docs onlyInvitations waiting for your answer come back as a list, so you can sort them before deciding. It is the natural first step before Accept a Connection Invitation.
Search Post Reactions
SearchIn the docs onlyThe people who reacted to a post turn into a list the scenario can work with, one bundle each. After a launch post, that list tells you who noticed.
Search Posts
SearchIn the docs onlyThis search finds LinkedIn posts on the topic you pick and brings them back one by one. It is the source for monitoring a subject or feeding Like a Post and Add a Comment to a Post.
Search Profiles
SearchIn the docs onlyPeople matching your search come back as profiles, one per bundle, the raw material for any prospecting list. Chain Extract Profile Information to go deeper on each one.
Search Recruiter Candidates
SearchIn the docs onlyRecruiting teams can look for candidates from Make and get each match as its own bundle, ready to be scored or stored. It starts the sourcing half of a hiring scenario.
Search Recruiter Posts
SearchIn the docs onlyJob posts handled on the recruiter side come back as a list, which gives you a view of every opening in one place. Useful before closing or updating openings in bulk.
Send a Connection Request
ActionIn the docs onlyAn invitation goes out from your account to the profile you map, which turns a found lead into a connection request without a manual click. It is the action most prospecting scenarios end on.
Send a Message
ActionIn the docs onlyYour scenario can write to a LinkedIn contact directly, with a message built from data of the earlier modules. That removes the copy and paste between your CRM and LinkedIn.
Verify a Code
ActionIn the docs onlyJudging by its name, this module submits a verification code to Linkup, most likely to complete a login started with Authenticate a User. The doc does not describe it further.
