Make.com -> LinkedIn Post

I’ve noticed that Make.com is having trouble posting correctly on LinkedIn. I find that the problem is in the handling of parentheses. The evidence is somewhat clear; most LinkedIn posts are 250 to 300 words at most. Any longer, it becomes TLDR content. I even think 250 words is too long.

So if you’re not anywhere near your 3,000-character content (500 words for an average of six-character words), then what is the problem? Is it the line breaks? Probably not. Many have stated they posted, but only part or some of the content is missing. I posed two articles, and it broke exactly where the parentheses are placed.

LinkedIn Post 1: “I remember standing at a busy rural crossroad at 115th (Avondale) and MC-85 installing telecommunications race weekend for Phoenix International Raceway (NASCAR) in Maricopa County.” - The original post died at the end of 115th.

LinkedInPost 2: “Cybersecurity in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has never been more critical, with cyber threats rising.” - The original post died at the end of Systems.

I know this is off topic, but I don’t like how they quickly autoclose tickets without allowing people to post if they need help. Maybe someone figured it out, but didn’t go back to post in time.

Can someone help confirm the issue?

I removed all HTML-based syntax, and I don’t have any tags. Oddly enough I don’t have any issues with the similar text when I post with an image. I read every post that had LinkedIn as a topic to include the one you provided.

Here is the last version I posted - keep in mind that hashtags are added after the post was published to LinkedIn. No special characters whatsoever. How ITS is transforming transportation with AI and innovation | Israel Anthony Lopez, BSIT, RCDD, CWNA posted on the topic | LinkedIn

The same style of syntax worked completely with an image post - icons and hashtags added after it was published: #aiintransportation #aidecisionmaking #smartmobility #digitaltransformation #its #publicsectorinnovation #futureoftransport #datagovernance #techforgood #aiethics #thisisits #itsa | Israel Anthony Lopez, BSIT, RCDD, CWNA

The post is for Notion and not Airtable. Though similar they are different platform and interface. I will review the information.

This is nothing to do with HTML. Please read the posts again about special characters that you need to “escape”.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
