Checking connection status

This page describes how to create workflows for checking connection statuses between your LinkedIn account and other people.

Single person check

To check the connection status between your account and another person, you need to include st.checkConnectionStatus action in your workflow. Here's an example:

Workflow:


{
  "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
  "personUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/person1"
}

Completion:


{
  "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "connectionStatus": "pending"
  }
}

Multiple people check

To check the connection statuses between your account and several people, you need to use st.checkConnectionStatus multiple times. Here's an example:

Workflow:


[
  {
    "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
    "label": "person1",
    "personUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/person1"
  },
  {
    "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
    "label": "person2",
    "personUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/person2"
  },
  {
    "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
    "label": "person3",
    "personUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/person3"
  }
]

Completion:


[
  {
    "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
    "label": "person1",
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "connectionStatus": "connected"
    }
  },
  {
    "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
    "label": "person2",
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "connectionStatus": "pending"
    }
  },
  {
    "actionType": "st.checkConnectionStatus",
    "label": "person3",
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "connectionStatus": "notConnected"
    }
  }
]
💡
Use this approach for multiple checks as it's significantly faster than creating separate workflows for each person.
This page provides examples of workflows and their completions. For detailed documentation on constraints, parameters, and possible results of specific actions, always refer to the corresponding action documentation pages.
