Behavior

1. Seat Creation: Creates a new seat record in the database
2. Credential Storage: Securely stores LinkedIn credentials
3. Verification: Automatically initiates LinkedIn credential verification
4. Configuration: Sets up automation parameters and filters
5. Response: Returns seat ID and confirmation of creation

Notes

• The li_secret_key field is optional and only needed if 2FA is enabled on the LinkedIn account
• The verification process is asynchronous - the seat is created immediately but verification happens in the background
• All array fields (allowed_languages, blacklisted_usernames, blacklisted_keywords) are stored as JSON strings in the database
• The recency_limit is combined with a default minimum of 60 seconds to create a range [60, recency_limit]
• Connection levels are stored as an object with first, second, and third boolean properties
• The verification webhook is called at https://n8nflows.leadsautopilot.com/webhook/verify_li

Security

• All credentials are stored securely in the database
• Authentication tokens are validated against the profiles table
• Passwords are handled securely but ensure your LinkedIn credentials are strong
• The API does not log sensitive information like passwords or tokens
