:bullseye: What is your goal?

LinkedIn node/app to work again. I changed nothing. It worked yesterday morning. Now not.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

“401: Application is disabled
Code: DataError
Origin: LinkedIn”

:clipboard: Error messages or input/output bundles

“401: Application is disabled
Code: DataError
Origin: LinkedIn”

I have the same issue, didnt change anything and since two days its not working anymore. No solution I could find for this issue on the make community forum helped

Make has two types of connections to LinkedIn. It looks like LinkedIn has blocked older connections and you must use Open Id connections. We got the errors today on two accounts. Switched them over and they started working again.

Same thing here. Was working fine and then just started throwing the same error out of nowhere, no changes made on my end either. Seems like it’s not isolated to one account so hopefully something on LinkedIn’s or Make’s side gets sorted soon.

Update: switching the connection type to “LinkedIn (OpenID Connect)” instead of the regular “LinkedIn” one fixed it for me. Had to create a new connection under that type and reauthorize, then swapped it into the LinkedIn modules in my scenario. Ran fine after that.

I am using scenarios to push data from out platform to LinkedIn and I am unable to see an option to use LinkedIn (OpenID Connect). Is there a walk around for this? Also will this be fixed own its own?

Click on the LinkedIn module/node in your scenario to open it. Under “Connection *” click “Add”. There you will see choice for “LinkedIn (OpenID Connect)”.

I have the same issue. I tried to just make a new connection to LI, and i still get the “this application is disabled” error message.

Hey @here,

We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by this issue. Thank you for raising this topic in the community.

Indeed, we are having issues with the standard LinkedIn connection, and our devs are aware of this and are investigating the error further.

In the meantime, use the LinkedIn OpenID Connect when creating a new LinkedIn connection. Please note that this method requires using your own LinkedIn Developer app credentials.

I’ll update this thread once we have any updates, alternativelly you can create a ticket with our Customer Care team to receive the updates straight in your inbox. I’d also recommend turning on notifications on our Status Page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding :folded_hands:

I’ve received complaints from my customers about this error. It hasn’t been fixed for 3 days. When will it be fixed?

Hey @here

Coming with a quick update from our side. Our developers identified the root cause of the issue and are currently waiting for approval from the LinkedIn side to re-enable the Make OAuth app.

I’ll let you know once we hear from LinkedIn!

Thank you :folded_hands:
