GitHub and LinkedIn integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for GitHub and LinkedIn and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Marketing, and Communication workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect GitHub and LinkedIn

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure GitHub and LinkedIn nodes

You can find GitHub and LinkedIn in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure GitHub and LinkedIn nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect GitHub and LinkedIn

A connection establishes a link between GitHub and LinkedIn (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your GitHub and LinkedIn integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect GitHub and LinkedIn with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your GitHub and LinkedIn workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from GitHub to LinkedIn or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Convert GitHub Code Commits to LinkedIn Posts with Gemini AI and Code Image Generation

Turn your code commits into engaging social media content automatically. This workflow monitors a GitHub repository, uses AI to write a LinkedIn post about your changes, generates a beautiful "Mac-window" style image of your code, and publishes it all to LinkedIn. How it works GitHub Trigger: Watches for new push events in your selected repository. AI Analysis: Passes the code changes to an LLM (via LangChain) to write a professional LinkedIn post and select the best code snippet. Image Generation: Creates a custom HTML view of your code (with syntax highlighting and window controls) and converts it to an image using the HCTI API. Hosting & Posting: Uploads the generated image back to GitHub for hosting, then combines the text and image to publish a live post on LinkedIn. Set up steps Configure Credentials: You will need credentials for: GitHub (OAuth2 or Access Token) LinkedIn (OAuth2) OpenRouter (or swap the model node for OpenAI/Anthropic) HCTI.io (for the HTML-to-Image conversion) Update GitHub Nodes: In the Trigger node: Set your Owner and Repository. In the File Download node: Set the same Owner and Repository. In the Upload Image node: Set the target repo where you want images stored. Update LinkedIn Node: Add your LinkedIn Person URN in the Person field.

Auto-Generate Social Posts from GitHub README/CHANGELOG Updates with GPT-4o and OAuth

Generate social posts from GitHub pushes to Twitter and LinkedIn On each GitHub push, this workflow checks if the commit set includes README.md and CHANGELOG.md, fetches both files, lets an LLM generate a Twitter and LinkedIn post, then publishes to Twitter and LinkedIn (Person). Apps & Nodes Trigger:** Webhook Logic:** IF, Merge, Aggregate GitHub:** Get Repository File (×2) Files:** Extract from File (text) (×2) AI:** OpenAI Chat Model → LLM Chain (+ Structured Output Parser) Publish:** Twitter, LinkedIn (Person) Prerequisites GitHub:** OAuth2 or PAT with repo read. OpenAI:** API key. Twitter:* OAuth2 app with *Read and Write; scopes tweet.read tweet.write users.read offline.access. LinkedIn (Person):* OAuth2 credentials; required scope:* w_member_social, openid. Setup GitHub Webhook: Repo → Settings → Webhooks Payload URL: https://<your-n8n-domain>/webhook/github/push Content type: application/json • Event: Push • Secret (optional) • Branches as needed. Credentials: Connect GitHub, OpenAI, Twitter, and LinkedIn (Person). How it Works Webhook receives GitHub push payload. IF checks that README and CHANGELOG appear in added/modified. GitHub (Get Repository File) pulls README.md and CHANGELOG.md. Extract from File (text) converts both binaries to text. Merge & Aggregate combines into one item with both contents. LLM (OpenAI + Parser) returns a JSON with twitter and linkedin. Twitter posts the tweet. LinkedIn (Person) posts the LinkedIn text.

Build your own GitHub and LinkedIn integration

Create custom GitHub and LinkedIn workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
