n8n-nodes-gtm-api

n8n community nodes for gtm-api, the LinkedIn API and MCP server for AI agents. Run LinkedIn outreach on accounts you own from n8n workflows: send connection requests and messages, enrich people, run searches, and trigger on replies. Every action executes on the hosted platform, where account safety is enforced: warm-up ramps for fresh accounts, server-side daily limits, health-aware pacing. gtm-api reports 20,000+ LinkedIn accounts running at under 1% monthly ban; the method is written up at gtm-api.com/safe-linkedin-automation.

Nodes

• gtm-api: actions on your sender accounts.
  • Connection Request: Send (note support, optional no-note fallback, resend cooldowns respected server-side)
  • Message: Send (to a member by ln_id / sn_id, or into an existing conversation)
  • Person: Enrich (lite profile: name, headline, canonical ids)
  • People Search: Search by URL (paste a people search URL, get structured rows)
• gtm-api Trigger: fires on webhook events.
  • Message Received, Connection Request Accepted, Invitation Received
  • Registers the webhook on activation and removes it on deactivation. The n8n instance must be reachable over public https; the platform refuses non-public target URLs.

Install

Self-hosted n8n: Settings, Community Nodes, Install, enter n8n-nodes-gtm-api.

Credentials

One field: the API key. Create it at app.gtm-api.com (forever free plan, no card) and connect a LinkedIn account you own.

Example workflow

Search a people-search URL, then invite every row from one sender. Paste into a blank canvas (Ctrl+V), then pick your credential and pick the sender in the Sender dropdown on the invite node.

    }
  ],
  "connections": {
    "Search people": { "main": [[{ "node": "Send invite", "type": "main", "index": 0 }]] }
  }
}

No wait node is needed between the two. Pacing against that account's own daily budget, the warm-up ramp and the resend cooldown are enforced on the platform, not in the workflow.

For the trigger, add a gtm-api Trigger node, pick an event, and activate the workflow: it registers the webhook on activation and removes it on deactivation. Each execution receives the delivery envelope as its item, so {{ $json.type }} is the event name and the event body is under {{ $json.payload }}. The n8n instance has to be reachable over public https; the platform refuses a non-public target URL.
