LinkedIn fields not available any more? was created by uwesun

Hi Alex,

We have the registration with LinkedIn implemented and we import all available fields (user_id, first_name, last_name, position, industry, formated_name, headline, current_location, country_code, summary, specialities, profile_picture, public_picture, email). Please also see screenshot.

With the latest release of JFBConnect our configuration in Profiles > customer > Social Network Profile Import Configuration gets overwritten and most of the fields above are not available anymore in the dropdowns. Only 4 fields are left. So it is not possible for us to do the upgrade and we had to roll back to the previous version.

Could you please comment if this is a planed change and/or if there will be an update to bring back the fields for full functionality.

Thanks and regards,
Uwe

Uwe,
Unfortunately, those fields are gone and will not be available anymore with future releases. The reason is due to LinkedIn itself. On May 1st, LinkedIn will be requiring the use of v2 of their API, which removes access to all of those additional fields.

You must upgrade to JFBConnect v8.1 before May 1st if you want LinkedIn authentication to continue working, but you can wait until the end of April to do so, which will allow those fields to be imported until then.

With that said, LinkedIn has a LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program . You can apply to that program and, if approved, you will have access to all the additional fields JFBConnect used to provide (and some more). We don't have an easy 'switch' in JFBConnect yet to support that, but are planning it if we see users actively being accepted into that program.

For more details on the update to LinkedIn's API and JFBConnect, see our full blog post, LinkedIn's API v2 - Required Update by May 1st .

Thanks,
Alex
