Master LinkedIn Image Post Automation with Make.com

Have you ever wondered how to upload an image to a LinkedIn post using automation? If so, you're not alone. Many users of Make.com, a popular automation platform, have faced this challenge. But don't worry, we've got a solution for you.

The Problem

One user wanted to create an automation system for LinkedIn image posts. The goal was to automatically schedule and post images along with accompanying text at specified times. However, the user was inexperienced in working with files and needed guidance on transferring an image generated by OpenAI’s DALL-E and integrating it with the LinkedIn image post module.

The Solution

After some trial and error, the user discovered that the solution was to use the toBinary() function available in Make. This function converts the image to a binary format that can be used by the LinkedIn image post module. The correct syntax is toBinary(OpenAI.data[].b64_json; base64) in the data field.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having trouble with this solution, make sure you're using the correct case for the toBinary() function. The user initially made the mistake of using ToBinary() instead of toBinary(), which caused the function to not work correctly.

Also, keep in mind that most of the time, you won't need a PNG image. You can convert it to JPG using the built-in convert image module in Make.

Conclusion

With the right tools and a bit of persistence, you can overcome any challenge in automation. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, don't be afraid to experiment and learn from your mistakes. And remember, the Make.com community is always here to help you along the way.
