How to import more LinkedIn data fields?
-
LinkedIn allows for additional fields to be imported.
For fields LinkedIn has Field Names for see:

https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields/positionsWhen a user registers, I would like to import the Company field from LinkedIn, in addition to what is currently imported (Username Full Name E-mail Profile URL User ID).
I know there is a way to do this but I’ve been struggling to figure it out. The closest I’ve found online is as follows:
– LinkedIn apparently has shortcodes such as [li_company] but when I put them in raw, it doesn’t work.
– The plugin LinkedIN SC has a list of shortcodes for the different fields, however, this plugin seems to no longer be working. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-linkedin-sc-error-warnings?replies=14
– LinkedIn has created Field Selectors that can pull the data when used like a link. When I tried to use these in Gravity Forms (to get the information and update the user’s profile) it didn’t work.

Thank you!
