Auto-Like LinkedIn Posts Shared in Slack Channels
🚀 Workflow: Auto-Like LinkedIn Posts Shared in Slack Channels
Trigger
- Slack Service Trigger
Starts the workflow when a post (activity string) is shared in a Slack channel.
Step 1: Extract Activity Number
- Type:
Function - Purpose: Extracts the activity number from the shared string (e.g., from
activity-123456789), isolating only the post ID required for LinkedIn actions.
// Input: inputText (e.g. "activity-123456789")
// Returns: 123456789 or null
Step 2: Generate Random Delay
- Type:
Function - Purpose: Selects a random odd number between 1 and 15 to use as the delay duration. This simulates human timing for the like action and reduces bot detection risk.
// Returns: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, or 15
Step 3: ⏸️ Delay [viaSocket Utilities ]
- Purpose: Pauses the workflow for the randomly selected number of minutes before proceeding. Mimics 'real user' behavior.
- Input: Delay (minutes) = previous random odd number generated
Step 4: 👍 Like LinkedIn Post [LinkedIn ]
- Purpose: Initiates a 'like' action on the LinkedIn post using the extracted activity number as the post ID.
- Input: LinkedIn Post ID = extracted activity number
Automation Value
