[Error messages] for Linkedin
Challenge
While using our Linkedin integration some error messages might appear. What does an error in Linkedin integration mean and what are the best ways to handle this?
Solution:
When submitting data from ADvendio to external platforms, there are always two platforms involved. ADvendio is the system that sends data and the external platform (e.g. the AdServer) receives data.
This can have different reasons, for example, a problem with the authentication against the external system, a missing setting in ADvendio, or you are trying something which is generally not allowed (like changing the start date of an already running position). Following we are looking at the most common error messages returned from our Linkedin integration, what they mean and how to prevent them.
