Because Canvora returns a hosted image URL, the visual is downloaded and\nattached natively (no separate S3/Cloudinary upload needed).\n\n### Setup steps\n- Create a free Canvora account at canvora.ai \u2014 free credits, no card \u2014 and\n copy an API key from Integrations \u2192 API Keys (all plans).\n- In each Canvora HTTP Request node, add a **Header Auth** credential:\n name `X-API-Key`, value your `vd_...` key.\n- Add your OpenAI credential (or swap the node for Claude / Gemini).\n- Connect your LinkedIn credential (personal or organization).\n- Edit \"Set Post Parameters\" \u2014 set your topic and optional `brandId`.\n\n### Customization\n- Change the cron in the trigger to your posting cadence.\n- Swap `linkedin_post` for `linkedin_carousel` to publish a multi-slide post\n (100+ formats: GET https://api.canvora.ai/api/formats).\n- Pass a `brandId` (GET /api/brands) to lock the visual to your brand kit.\n- Prefer human review? Change the LinkedIn node to \"create draft\" or route to\n a Gmail draft first.\n- Cost: 1 visual = 10 credits per post.\n"
