Connect Apps to LinkedIn

\n

The LinkedIn social connection allows users to log in to your application using their LinkedIn profile.

\n

By default, Auth0 automatically syncs user profile data with each user login, thereby ensuring that changes made in the connection source are automatically updated in Auth0. Optionally, you can disable user profile data synchronization to allow for updating profile attributes from your application.

Set up app in LinkedIn

For example, if your tenant name were exampleco-enterprises, your Auth0 domain name would be exampleco-enterprises.us.auth0.com and your redirect URL would be https://exampleco-enterprises.us.auth0.com/login/callback. (If your tenant is in the US and was created before June 2020, then your domain name would be https://exampleco-enterprises.auth0.com.)
