2X Post to LinkedIn

Post a draft to LinkedIn via browser. Read local file, post, record via client.

---

Inputs

• session_number: which session folder to read from

---

Step 1: Read Draft

cat ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-sessions/{session_number}/drafts/linkedin.md

If file doesn't exist, stop: "No LinkedIn draft found."

---

Step 2: Post via Browser

1. browser open "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/"
2. Wait 3 seconds
3. browser snapshot --interactive
4. Find "Start a post" button or text area → click
5. Wait 2 seconds for modal
6. browser snapshot --interactive

LinkedIn uses a contenteditable div, NOT a regular input.

7. Find text area in modal (contenteditable div, role "textbox")
8. browser type <ref> "{content}"
9. Wait 1 second

If browser type fails (content doesn't appear), fallback:

browser evaluate "document.querySelector('div[contenteditable=true].ql-editor, div[role=textbox][contenteditable=true]').innerText = `{content}`; document.querySelector('div[contenteditable=true].ql-editor, div[role=textbox][contenteditable=true]').dispatchEvent(new Event('input', {bubbles: true}))"

10. browser snapshot --interactive → verify content visible
11. Find "Post" button (blue, bottom of modal)
12. browser click <ref>
13. Wait 3 seconds
14. browser snapshot → verify modal closed

Extract Posted URL

LinkedIn doesn't redirect to the post. To find it:

1. browser open "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/"
2. Wait 3 seconds, snapshot
3. Find most recent post at top of feed
4. URL format: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:{id}/
5. Extract activity ID as platform_post_id

If extraction fails, report success without URL — not critical.

---

Step 3: Record

SESSION_UUID=$(cat ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-sessions/{session_number}/.supabase_session_id)

node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/2x/db/client.js publish-draft \
  --session "$SESSION_UUID" \
  --platform linkedin \
  --platform-post-id "{extracted_id_or_null}" \
  --posted-url "{extracted_url_or_null}"

Local log:

echo '{"platform":"linkedin","post_id":"{id}","url":"{url}","posted_at":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","session":{session_number}}' \
  >> ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-posted.jsonl

---

Step 4: Return

✅ Posted to LinkedIn: {url}

Or: ❌ LinkedIn posting failed: {reason}

Known Gotchas

• "Add to your post" overlay: Ignore — just find the Post button.
• Modal states: Snapshot after each action.
• Visibility selector: Leave as default ("Anyone"), proceed.
• Rich text paste: LinkedIn may auto-format URLs. Fine — don't fight it.
• NEVER retry automatically.
