Hi ya,

Does anyone know if there are plans to add LinkedIn as a provider? They are more useful for enterprise grade apps then Facebook.

I can see there is a custom token method but wanted to check to see if we needed to go that route or could wait a little while if LinkedIn is in the pipeline.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Hi,

We currently have no public documentation available regarding future plans for integration with Linkedin. Feel free to get in touch with Linkedin support and view their documentation [1].

Hi Andrew, (Aduv...)

Did you end up going down the custom token approach in the end? This is the way I have managed to get some integration working with LinkedIn.

What I do find confusing though and this is where maybe some Google feedback can help, is that LinkedIn IS actually there in the list of Provider Identities. I am not entirely sure why or what other purpose it serves, especially if you can't actually log in this way like you can with Google, FB, github etc. Has your experience been able to tell you why LinkedIn is shown here in the list?

We ultimately create our users in Firebase when they do a Social Provider Login for Google and LinkedIn, but for linkedIn we have to use the custom token approach.

Best regards,

Bhavin

It seems that even though the drop down includes LinkedIn, it is not yet implemented. I suggested following up on this feature request.
