Organization Posting (Workaround Required)

The Bug

linkedin-create-text-post-organization fails via MCP with:

Error: tool name too long

This is a Pipedream MCP bug, not a LinkedIn API issue.

Workaround: Direct SDK Call

Create a Node.js script to post as organization:

// org-post.mjs
import { PipedreamClient } from '@pipedream/sdk';

const client = new PipedreamClient({
  projectEnvironment: 'development',
  clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',      // from ~/.config/pdauth/config.json
  clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
  projectId: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID',
});

async function postAsOrg(orgId, text) {
  const result = await client.actions.run({
    id: 'linkedin-create-text-post-organization',
    externalUserId: 'telegram:5439689035',
    configuredProps: {
      linkedin: { authProvisionId: 'apn_4vhLGx4' },  // LinkedIn account ID
      organizationId: orgId,
      text: text,
    },
  });
  console.log('Posted!', result);
}

// Example usage
postAsOrg('105382747', 'Hello from Versatly! 🚀');

Run with:

node org-post.mjs
