# LinkedIn Automator

Automate your LinkedIn presence: post content, track engagement, generate ideas, and grow your audience.

## Prerequisites

1. Browser tool enabled in OpenClaw
2. LinkedIn logged in via browser (use profile with LinkedIn session)

## Quick Commands

```bash
# Post content
{baseDir}/scripts/post.sh "Your post content here"

# Post with image
{baseDir}/scripts/post.sh "Content" --image /path/to/image.png

# Get engagement stats for recent posts
{baseDir}/scripts/analytics.sh

# Generate content ideas based on trending topics
{baseDir}/scripts/ideas.sh [topic]

# Engage with feed (like/comment on relevant posts)
{baseDir}/scripts/engage.sh --limit 10
```

## Workflows

### Posting Content

Use browser automation to post:

1. Navigate to linkedin.com/feed
2. Click "Start a post" button
3. Enter content in the post editor
4. Optionally attach media
5. Click "Post" button

For scheduled posts, use OpenClaw cron:
```
cron add --schedule "0 9 * * 1-5" --payload "Post my LinkedIn content: [content]"
```

## Browser Selectors

Key LinkedIn selectors (as of 2026):

```
Post button: button[aria-label="Start a post"]
Post editor: div.ql-editor[data-placeholder]
Submit post: button.share-actions__primary-action
Like button: button[aria-label*="Like"]
Comment button: button[aria-label*="Comment"]
Profile stats: section.pv-top-card-v2-ctas
```

## Rate Limits

LinkedIn enforces activity limits. Stay under:
- Posts: 2-3 per day max
- Comments: 20-30 per day
- Connection requests: 100 per week
- Profile views: Natural browsing pace

## Troubleshooting

- **Login required**: Ensure browser profile has active LinkedIn session
- **Rate limited**: Reduce activity, wait 24h
- **Selector not found**: LinkedIn may have updated UI, check selectors
