Execute Linktree primary workflow: Profile & Links Management. Trigger: "linktree profile & links management", "primary linktree workflow".
Manages the complete lifecycle of a Linktree profile and its links through the Linktree REST API. This skill covers retrieving profile metadata, creating new links with positioning and thumbnails, updating existing link properties, listing all links for a profile, and reordering links by position. Use this workflow when building integrations that programmatically manage a creator's or brand's link-in-bio page — for example, syncing product launches, rotating seasonal promotions, or bulk-importing links from a spreadsheet. All operations use bearer token authentication against the Linktree API.

| Error | Status | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
Unauthorized | 401 | Missing or expired LINKTREE_API_KEY | Regenerate key in developer dashboard |
Not Found | 404 | Invalid profile username or deleted link ID | Verify the resource exists before operating |
Validation Error | 422 | Malformed URL, missing required field, or duplicate position | Check request body against API schema |
Rate Limited | 429 | Too many requests in window | Implement exponential backoff (start at 1s) |
Server Error | 500 | Linktree API outage | Retry with backoff; check status.linktr.ee |
A successful workflow produces a fully configured Linktree profile with an ordered
set of active links. Each link includes an id, title, url, position (zero-indexed),
thumbnail URL, and archived status. The profile object contains the username, bio,
avatar URL, and a links array reflecting the current ordering. Use the returned link
IDs for subsequent update or delete operations in downstream workflows.
