Is there any way to auto post the content via rules module to linkedin account. I am in critical situation.Please anyone guide to me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Have you tried the LinkedIn Module?

This module provides integration with the LinkedIn API. At the moment it supports the following features:

• Per-user OAuth authentication between LinkedIn and Drupal Post
• LinkedIn status from node edit form (like the Twitter module)
• Synchronise LinkedIn user profiles with a user profile tab in Drupal

For Drupal 7 it's still dev and there may or may not be any updates coming. But it would be a good place to start.

This module does't have this functionality. You need your own rules action or use php with rules (Using embed php with rules isn't the best practice). I did some digging and found proper function to run. linkedin_status_set_status($status, $node); This is function from linkedin_status module. I have not tested it anyhow but I am 99% sure this should work. Create new module and add

function YOURMODULE_rules_action_info() {
  return array(
    'YOURMODULE_set_inkedin_status' => array(
      'label' => t('Set linkedin status'), 
      'parameter' => array(
        'node' => array(
          'type' => 'node',
          'label' => t('Node'),
        ),
        'status' => array(
          'type' => 'text',
          'label' => t('Status'),
        ),
      ), 
      'group' => t('Linkedin'), 
    ),
  );
}
function YOURMODULE_set_inkedin_status($status, node) {
   linkedin_status_set_status($status, $node);
}
