Help! I’m trying to create a social media automation for a client with a Linkedin post as the trigger… I thought I could use an RSS feed to monitor the page for the post, but it seems because it’s not a business page I cannot. The idea is that after linkedin post the automation is triggered and chat gpt is used to condense and optimize the linkedin post for other social media (facebook, instagram, bluesky, X, and Blog)… Any suggestions? I’ve attached a pic of the scenario so far… Just trying to make all the connections and getting stuck right away! Love you guys! Thank you.
Looking at the information on the official LinkedIn API, I don’t see a way to do this.
Someone else might have a different experience.

Welcome to the Make community!
It’s possible but complex since there is no “Watch User Posts” module.
If the external service has a Developer API Reference/Documentation then you should be able to integrate the endpoints in Make using the app’s universal module (Make an API call) or generic HTTP “Make a request” module.
You can also suggest for it to be made in the Idea exchange. Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
If you need assistance in setting up the generic HTTP module, please provide additional information about what you have tried with regards to the external service’s Developer API Reference – how you are setting the connection up, a link to the endpoint are you trying to connect to, and what errors you are encountering.
You can also complete this brand new course/tutorial in the Make Academy on how to use external APIs — API calls with HTTP modules
- API and Endpoints
- Header and body
- Multipart/form-data
- OAuth 2.0
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you for the support!
Hey there… coming back to this. I have the Oauth for linked in. Do you have suggestions for how to watch my profile page posts to create messages for social media from there? I’m thinking of scraping the page, but that seems unnecessary. I blieve there has to be a more direct way to use linkedin for the baseline of my social media. Please let me know! Thanks.
