How do I share a LinkedIn post?
Short answer: You can share linkedin post in LinkedIn by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the LinkedIn Share LinkedIn Post action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Share LinkedIn Post.
What does the Share LinkedIn Post action do in LinkedIn?
Re-shares an existing post to the authenticated user's feed. For "amplify team members' posts" or "auto-share our content from a brand account" workflows.
What inputs does Share LinkedIn Post require?
Required: Author URN, Commentary. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

What happens if LinkedIn returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message LinkedIn returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Share LinkedIn Post support batch operations?
Run Share LinkedIn Post inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within LinkedIn's rate limits.
