  • Navigate to the "Products" tab and request access for "Share on LinkedIn" and "Sign In with LinkedIn".

  • Go to the OAuth Tools page and create a new access token.
  • Congratulations! You've successfully generated an OAuth token.

Step 2: Configure the OAuth Token in Zoho Cliq

Now that you have your OAuth token, it's time to configure it in Zoho Cliq. Here's how:
  • Go to https://cliq.zoho.com and navigate to "Profile" > "Bots & tools" > "Integrations" > "Command" > "Create".

  3. inputs.add({"name":"file","label":"Add a Photo","placeholder":"Please upload a photo to upload.","mandatory":false,"type":"file"});
  4. return {"type":"form","title":"Create a post","name":"linkedinPost","hint":"","button_label":"Submit","inputs":inputs,"action":{"type":"invoke.function","name":"linkedinPost"}};
  • Next, go to "Profile" > "Bots & tools" > "Integrations" > "Function" > "Create".

  76. {
  77.  return {"text":createPost.get("responseText").get("message"),"card":{"theme":"10"}};
  78. }
  79. return Map();
