Download and Post Image to LinkedIn

This simple yet effective n8n workflow automates the process of downloading an image from any public URL and sharing it on LinkedIn as a personal post. Starting with a manual trigger, it uses an HTTP Request node to fetch the image file (e.g., the n8n logo from https://n8n.io/n8n-logo.png), then leverages the LinkedIn node to upload and post it with predefined text like 'this is a test image post'. Configured for a specific LinkedIn person profile using OAuth2 credentials, it's designed as a companion example for n8n's LinkedIn node documentation.

The benefits are clear for marketers, content creators, and social media managers: it eliminates manual downloads and uploads, reducing errors and saving minutes per post. With n8n's flexibility, you can easily customize the URL, text, or even trigger it via webhook/schedule for recurring posts, scaling to team workflows.

Ideal use cases include promoting blog graphics, sharing infographics for personal branding, or testing LinkedIn posting automation. Despite its simplicity (just 3 nodes), it's a perfect starter for integrating social media into broader automations like content calendars or RSS feeds, offering high reusability in marketing stacks.
