AI-Powered LinkedIn Post Automation

A workflow that automates publishing to a LinkedIn company page end to end. A webhook receives the post type — text, article, image or video — with the required content, and the flow handles everything from input validation through to final posting.

AI-Powered LinkedIn Post Automation — architecture overview

01 — The problem

Publishing to a company page by hand does not scale, and the LinkedIn API treats every post type differently. Text, article, image and video each need their own payload shape and upload sequence.

02 — Our solution

One webhook entry point that branches by post type. Each branch validates the fields that type actually requires, performs any upload the type needs, and then posts — so callers submit content without knowing LinkedIn's rules.

Architecture

How it works

The pipeline, step by step — from the first input to the final output.

  1. 01

    Webhook intake

    A request arrives carrying the post type and its content.

  2. 02

    Validation

    Required fields for that specific post type are checked before anything is sent.

  3. 03

    Type routing

    The flow branches to the text, article, image or video path.

  4. 04

    Media handling

    Image and video posts run the required upload and registration sequence.

  5. 05

    Publish

    The post is published to the company page and the result is returned.

Features

What we built

Single endpoint for four different post types
Per-type validation before any API call
Media upload handling for image and video posts
Clear error responses on invalid input
Impact

The outcomes

01

Company page publishing reduced to a single API call

02

Invalid payloads rejected before they reach LinkedIn

03

All four post types supported through one interface

Engineering notes

Challenges we solved

Four APIs wearing one name

Each post type has a different contract. The routing layer exists so that complexity does not leak to whoever is calling the webhook.

Failing early

Validating before upload avoids half-published state when a payload is incomplete.
