## LinkedIn integration

Integrating LinkedIn with Frontegg allows your application to authenticate users via OpenID Connect, post content on their behalf, and access profile information using LinkedIn's OAuth 2.0 API.

Prerequisites
- A LinkedIn account
- Access to the [LinkedIn Developer Portal](https://developer.linkedin.com/)


### Connect LinkedIn

#### Step 1: Open the LinkedIn Developer Portal

Navigate to [developer.linkedin.com](https://developer.linkedin.com/).

#### Step 2: Go to My apps

Click **My apps** in the top navigation bar, then click **Create app**.

#### Step 3: Fill in the app details

Fill in the following fields:

- **App name**: Enter a name for your app (for example, `Frontegg Integration`).
- **LinkedIn Page**: Search for and select your company's LinkedIn Page.
- **Privacy policy URL**: Enter your app's privacy policy URL.
- **App logo**: Upload a square logo image (at least 100×100 px).


Check the **I have read and agree to these terms** checkbox, then click **Create app**.

#### Step 4: Enable required products

After the app is created, open the **Products** tab. You need to enable two products:

- **Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect** — grants the `openid`, `profile`, and `email` scopes
- **Share on LinkedIn** — grants the `w_member_social` scope


Click **Request access** next to each product and accept the terms when prompted.

#### Step 5: Confirm products are added

After requesting access, both products appear in the **Added products** section at the top of the Products tab.

#### Step 6: Copy your Client ID

Open the **Auth** tab. Your **Client ID** is displayed in the **Application credentials** section. Copy it for use in the Frontegg portal.

#### Step 7: Copy your Client Secret

Click **Show** to reveal the **Primary Client Secret**, then click **Copy** to copy it.

Keep your credentials secure
Store the Client Secret immediately after copying it. Never share or commit it to version control.

#### Step 8: Add redirect URIs

In the **OAuth 2.0 settings** section, click the pencil icon next to **Authorized redirect URLs for your app**. Click **Add redirect URL** and enter the following URIs one at a time:

- `https://YOUR_MCP_GATEWAY_URL/integration-callback`


Click **Update** to save.

#### Step 9: Confirm the saved settings

The Auth tab now shows the redirect URI saved along with the active OAuth 2.0 scopes for your app:

| Scope | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| `openid` | Sign in with LinkedIn |
| `profile` | Access the user's name and photo |
| `email` | Access the user's primary email address |
| `w_member_social` | Create, modify, and delete posts and comments on behalf of the user |

### Configure the Frontegg portal

Once you have your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, configure the integration in the Frontegg portal:

1. Open the **Frontegg portal** and navigate to **[ENVIRONMENT]** → **Integrations** → **LinkedIn**.
2. Enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in the corresponding fields.
3. Select the required **scopes**.
4. Click **Save**.
