how to integrate LinkedIn With Salesforce

GarrettzGarrettz
Our team recently tried to get some sort of integration here. To my knowledge you have 3 options:

1. LinkedIn's Sales Navigator Product (https://business.linkedin.com/sales-solutions/products/sales-navigator) - not sure of the cost but comes with some bells and whistles as well as some visualforce pages which embed LinkedIn directly on your page
2. Salesforce for LinkedIn/LinkedIn Social Profile (I believe this was transistioned to LinkedIn Premium (https://premium.linkedin.com/)) - again cost associated with this. I believe this allows users to use the Salesforce Social Profiles to get access to LinkedIn.
3. Build an API with LinkedIn. This is most likely what you want as you can store the data in Salesforce. The problem is, LinkedIn sees this data as proprietary and don't share it too well. You'll need to pay a licensing cost along with building your own integration.

 //Pass in the endpoint to be used

       // if(code <> null)
       // {
            accessTokenURI = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code'+'&code=' + code +'&redirect_uri='+redirect_uri+'&scope='+scope+ '&client_id=' + client_id + '&client_secret=' + client_secret;
                                                                                                                    
            HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
            req.setEndpoint(accessTokenURI);
            req.setMethod('POST');
            Http http = new Http();
            HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
            body = res.getBody();
        //}
 }
 
}


VF Page:

<apex:page controller="LinkedInIntegrationController" >
<apex:form > <
apex:outputLink value="{!authorizationCodeURI}" target="blank">Authorize Me</apex:outputLink>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
